September 26 ~ RSFbpw LUNCHEON
|
|
Dear RSFBPW Ladies and guests:
Many of the ladies in our group are in a business where they sell a product or service. Whether that applies to you or not, we are all selling ourselves everyday. We only have one opportunity to make a first impression; and the product/opportunity/service we offer comes second. You can have the best product in the world but if your potential client doesn't "click" with you, the chance to make the connection may be lost.
Here are few things you can do to make that first impression a lasting one:
1) Stand out from the crowd by looking sharp! Is your outfit flattering to your shape and size? Does it fit you correctly and is it age appropriate? Just because you "can" wear a certain outfit doesn't mean you necessarily should. When is the last time someone complimented your hair and makeup? If it's been a while, maybe you need a little freshening up! We have many women in our group who can help you!;
2) Smile!!! I love when people ask me why I'm so happy all the time! Clearly that isn't always the case - but it's great that people think that! What about you? Do you smile and show a winning personality?;
3) Remember people's names - people enjoy hearing one word more than any other - THEIR NAME! I try and play a game with myself and make a connection between every person I meet and another thing/person/word that will help me remember their name. Secret word is autumn;
4) Be more interested in the other person than they are in you. Be genuine in your conversation and take a sincere interest in what they are saying. Not only will they be more open to doing business with you, they will remember and refer people to you as well.
Let's make September our month to connect!
- SEE EVERYONE ON THE 26TH!

As a Member of RSFBPW:
Your contact and business information is placed in our directory, as well as on our website in the membership section. Please remember to update your information whenever it changes, including new photos and logos. You are invited to participate in the monthly drawing for members only by bringing and talking about your donation during the drawing portion of our meeting. You can place your items for sale on 1/2 of a table located in the back of the room before and after our monthly meetings, from January through October. You should arrive around 10:30 a.m. to secure your half-table. You can share a 20 second commercial during our meetings. You can apply to speak at our member's showcase, some restrictions apply. You can post announcements for your products, services or events on our Facebook Business Page and participate in our LinkedIn Group page.
Monthly speakers are the only ones allowed to place their information on the luncheon tables during our meetings. Due to the size of our membership, we are unable to send out group emails to all members regarding a special event or announcement you may want to share with members. Be sure to post your announcement on our Facebook Business Page. Thank you.

Shout-Outs and Testimonials
|
|
We may run out of time at our meetings to share our testimonials for each other's services, products, and community announcements. We encourage you to write your praise and mail an email or note to the member who you want to applaud. Send your friends a special email sharing your testimonial about the member you are highlighting. Post your Shout-Out on our RSFBPW Facebook page and on your own FB page.
We offer Shout-outs and testimonial time at the end of many of our meetings, however it depends on the time left after our speaker has concluded their presentation. We do not offer testimonial time at our November and December meetings because of the length of the program. We encourage you to pass out your information, flyers, handouts and community announcements during the open networking time which is between 11:15 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.
You may also want to use your 20 second commercial time during the meeting to share your business event or announcement with the group and invite interested members to pick up a flyer with more details in the back of the room. Thanks for cheerfully working with us!

A Gentle Reminder about Spamming RSFBPW Members
|
|
Members and visitors must individually ask each member for permission to place them on any form of mass communication-email blasts, newsletter lists, U.S. Mail lists or group texts. Without each member's individual permission, we consider this type of communication to be an act of spamming. To build long-term relationships with members please write personal notes and emails first and after developing rapport, ask these members only for permission to place them on your mailing list. Thank you for your cooperation.
|
|
If you are interested in becoming a member of our women's Rancho Santa Fe, Business and Professional Women's Association, you must attend two meetings as a visitor, then apply for membership. We have 3 members per category, and if the category is not filled, you can submit the application to one of our board members for consideration. If the category is filled, we encourage you to continue to attend our meetings and network with our members. You can apply when the position opens. Any questions about membership, Contact Sarah Morgan at Sarah@SarahMorganPhotography.com, or call 858-414-9646.
