Tegry Bistro has amazing sushi, not to be missed! Kona Jack's is good too, also The Journey, and 45 Degrees. (Btw, "Oishi" means "delicious!")

Use a System for Making Referrals

As a member of networking groups like BNI and Rainmakers, I have a strong commitment to producing quality referrals for members of my network. The "givers gain" philosophy is alive and well and I have seen it work wonders many times over for me and for my referral partners. Staying consistent is tough, however. It's easy to get busy and distracted and therefore forget to make referrals… Continue

The Best Sushi in Indianapolis

I thought I would take a break today from the business world and write about one of my passions in life: sushi! I love sushi. I could eat it just about every day. And lucky for me, Indianapolis is full of great sushi restaurants. I frequently get asked what my favorites are, and I don't really have one favorite that stands out above all others, but I can certainly comment on the ones I really prefer. Here is my list of favorites.

Don't Throw Your Business Card

I had a meeting with someone today and was turned off by a behavior that I sometimes see from people as they are networking. We had chatted for a few minutes and the conversation was progressing normally. When we got to the part where we exchange business cards, he pulled out his card and casually tossed it across the table to me. It was very dismissive and it gave me an unfavorable impression of him and his business. I thought to myself, "wow... he doesn't think much of his business."

In Japan… Continue

Overcoming Social Media Paranoia

I've been having some great conversations lately with people who ask me about social media. Some of my favorite conversations start with the other party saying something to the effect of "Facebook is creepy... I don't want everyone knowing what I'm doing." These are great conversations because I have the opportunity to (hopefully) clear up some misconceptions about social media.

"I don't want everyone knowing what I'm doing."

This is typically objection #1. For some reason, so… Continue

I Don't Have Time for That Computer Stuff

I had a great weekend at the AMTA National Board Meeting in Park City, Utah. As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed networking with other AMTA volunteers and got to spend time with old friends.

As I tend to do, I also posted updates form the board meeting via Twitter so that my chapter members could follow along. When I do this, I inevitably get ask… Continue

Here are some of the barriers right now.

*having the public vote on video/written essay's where a member can only vote once. Just want to prevent any pitfalls with an online voting contest
*entries filling out online forms/essay's that will get fowarded to us

Everything else seems very easy to work with as an admin on ning.

Thank you! Tod Esquivel

Hello, I am new to Smaller Indiana and thought I would reach out to connect and say hello. My name is Brandon and I am the Director for Musical Medicine. We build music libraries for hospitals.

Are you planning on attending the Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival next Thursday? I hear it's going to be huge, they expect about 1,500 people to attend. It should be a great networking day! I have free tickets, if you need a ticket, let me know and I'll email you one. If you want more details about it, it's listed under events on the 26th.

Have a good day and I look forward to networking with you. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you,
Brandon
