Make Your Networking More Effective
|
The purpose of networking is to enhance your circle of influence and develop relationships that can lead to future business opportunities. Too often attendees gauge the success of an event by the number of referrals THEY receive. This is a good read of the short-term return on attendance. But like most investments, the true benefit can be seen by playing the long game.
Instead of setting a goal for how many referrals you can RECEIVE at a networking event, approach it with a mindset of how many referrals you can GIVE. You cannot give good referrals without genuinely discovering a person's true needs. This requires deeper engagement, and will establish your credibility and trust.
Once those referrals come to fruition, your network will begin to pay it back. This will multiply the return you receive on your networking efforts and position you as someone truly in business for the good of the community.

A Century's Worth of History
|
The 1990 film Days of Thunder, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, was set and partially filmed in Daytona Beach and the surrounding area. Filming created quite a buzz as local residents tried to get a glimpse of the movie stars. Days of Thunder follows Cruise’s character, Cole Trickle, as he tries to make it big in the world of NASCAR. After sustaining an injury in the Firecracker 400, Trickle spends his recovery time in Daytona Beach where he falls for Dr. Claire Lewicki (Kidman), a neurosurgeon at Halifax Hospital, and eventually wins the Daytona 500. Scenes from the movie capture the Daytona International Speedway, A1A, the sandy shores of Daytona Beach, and even the halls of Halifax Hospital.
