GET ON THE TRAIN Don't sit and watch it go by.

'Ideaspotting' How to find your next great idea, by Sam Harrison. It's one of those little books you keep handy as a manual.

'You can drift toward becoming the trainspotting type by sitting where you are, doing what you're doing and getting what your getting. Or you can start becoming an IdeaSpotter by climbing aboard. Because this train is leaving the station.


Want a new idea. Here's one.

A company called EYI at www.eyicom.com/winning has been selling a eco/fuel saving product to individuals since Jan 2007 and have been so successful they have been awarded an new 'industrial' product aimed at big industry, transportation, shipping etc. Both these products reduce exhaust emissions greatly, improve fuel efficiency and save the users money. Well I figured out there are always going to be a majority of people sitting at the train station watching, and not that many of us getting on the train.

Call me about Ultimate ME2 and Mach3.
If you know someone that works in a company that uses a lot of fuel, please pass on the name
and number to me.

You Are The Networker - how to get it done

Ready Target - Ready Aim Network
Not having any success networking?Are you actually networking or are you just going to a lot of meetings?

I sell promotional products. Virtually anything imprinted to be given to a target audience.

My customers could be literally anyone from the elementary school volleyball team to a multi-national corportation, and anywhere in between.

My target is wide to the extreme.

To effectively network, YOU ARE THE NETWORKER.

You talk to people about your business and learn about thier business. They will hopefully refer their network of acquaintences to you while you can refer your network of friends to them.

Sounds pretty easy but of course it's not. You'll collect and hand out a lot of cards.
Contact by follow ups via email or phone, and sometimes refer one contact to another contact.

It takes time but it's worth it to build that data base.

Try targeting the areas of business you'd like to attract. I don't mean that you don't talk to people who aren't on your target list, but just try to make sure you're at the right meetings, luncheons, associations, clubs, charities, etc.

Be seen and heard where ever you go.

Have your elevator speech memorized.

The 6 degrees of separation is a revolutionary concept putting each of us a max of only 6 people away from any one with whom we'd like to talk.

Plan and Network towards your Target.

Promotional Products can be used in networking. There are lots of inexpensive items like pens and scratch pads emblazoned with your name and products which say to the prospect

'Remember me when I've gone.'
