Parties and networking
Last night Business Connection Exchange and Biznetwork News (www.biznetworknews.com)teamed up to host a great corporate Christmas Party for small business owners - "2007 Small Business Holiday Party".
Nine chapters had members who attended the event. Wow! Check the web-site for some pictures - www.business-connection-exchange.ca.
Fourteen companies sponsored our event. Thank you for helping to make it a success. We have the sponsors listed below - please support our sponsors.
Networking automatically started since everyone in the room was either a small business owner or a guest of a small business owner. Lots of great business connections happened at the Holiday Party.
But, what do you do at a holiday party when it is not a business event?
- Have business cards handy but only give them out after talking about your business
- Be ready with a really short business introduction (30 sec or 1 min)
- Ask other people what they do and you will create the opportunity to tell them what you do
- Remember that you get the best connections when you help the other person
- Do not push your luck, if it is not a business event do not expect business networking.
Enjoy your parties and listen for the opportunities to network about your business products and services.
