Ain't No Party Like a Webcam Pitch Party


TokBox - Free Video Chat and Video Messaging


We're bringing solopreneurs from all over the country together for organized, video/webcam networking events using a "pitch party" format. A pitch party is when everyone takes a turn giving their one-minute "elevator pitch" so that others can better understand what they are selling, to whom they are selling, and the benefits of their product or service. Prominent off-line, face-to-face networking groups like BNI, Le Tip, and Leads Club use a pitch party format.

The way we're able to bring business people from around the country together for virtual face-to-face networking is by using the free platform provided by TokBox.

Ideally, this will be used for entrepreneurs who are local to each other. This is a cool way to network, but it DOES NOT replace speed networking over the phone events or face-to-face networking events.

To learn more about what we're proposing with web cam pitch party, go to www.WebcamPitchParty.com.

Let me know what you think.

Is Social Media a Fad?

All I got to say, social media ain't my grandfather's radio.

Check this video out and draw your own conclusions.

Talk to you soon.

Huh? Speed Networking Over the Phone?



Whoa! This is hot!

Expand Your Network with Unlimited Virtual Networking Events for less than $10 per month...

Have real conversations, make more connections, and grow your business without having to leave your home or office!

As you know, your business success has a lot to do with how effectively you network. New referrals, ideas, and opportunities all come from the people you know. But to increase the power of your network it needs to constantly be growing.

Unfortunately, traditional approaches to networking can waste time and money without delivering results to your business or new contacts to your network.

Has this ever happened to you at an In-person Networking Event?

Have you ever gone to a networking event where you made no new connections, or you couldn't break into a conversation with someone you really wanted to meet, or you couldn't break away from a conversation that went on and on and on?

Even worse, have you ever paid an annual membership fee so you could then pay for gas and parking driving to an event where you then paid to enter and met nobody new?

But what about Online "Social Networking" sites?

With the explosion of social networking sites over the last few years, we found it a bit ironic that none of these sites is really "Social" (i.e., instead of interacting - you type something, hours later I type a response, you respond, etc, etc, etc...)

...nor were these sites really helping us meet new people in any meaningful way to build out our network. Sure we were making hundreds of new contacts on these sites - but how many of these "connections" did we ever actually talk to?

We knew there had to be a better way. Working in affiliation with Blitz Innovations, Inc., allow me to introduce you to SpeedNetworkingOverThePhone.com.

If we could combine the personal nature of in-person networking, the reach of online networking, and the convenience of the telephone - and give professionals the ability to make 10-15 new connections in a single event through actual 1-on-1 conversations; we knew we could turn the failed promise of "networking" into networking that actually works.

10,103 conversations later, we've heard again and again that this is an amazing way to meet new people and grow your network"

After 100+ conversations on SpeedNetworkingOverThePhone.com, I've already gotten a feel for how powerful SpeedNetworkingOverThePhone.com can be, and can recommend it to other business owners and sales people without hesitation.

Imagine what it would be like to meet 1,240, 12,400, or more new contacts on SpeedNetworkingOverThePhone.com. What new opportunities would that lead to? How would that impact your business?

The 10 Commandments of Social Media



I have been doing a lot of homework on social media and social networking sites. Whenever I hear about a webinar on the topic, I am there.

Since I have been applying the new things that I've learned about social media and social networking sites, I've begun to develop some relationships with people that I never thought that I would have the opportunity to work with.

Being the nerd that I am, I have taken a lot of notes of what I've learned and I have condensed those notes into 10 areas - 10 commandments if you will.

Check out the below audio and slideshow combination of what I call "The 10 Commandments of Social Media".

Just press the arrow key on the audio play to launch my melodic voice (smile), and follow along with the arrows on the slideshow.

Make sure to click on the little square to the immediate right of the arrows and slide counter to open a new browser and to enlarge the slideshow so that it is easier to follow along.
