Are you a Smiley Face or a Star? A quick networking tip!

Hey Gang~~

As you know I am all about networking and I just love being around people.  Every chance I get I look to see if there is something about the person I am meeting for the first that I can grab ahold of and assist them.  I am gonna give you a great tip that you can use as soon as you are done reading this post.  Let me start with the end in mind.  I am all about connecting at live events with people and If you have read very much about me or have seen me speak live, you know I always carry a sharpie to write on business cards.  The reason I use a sharpie is that it is the only pen that can write on all the various card stocks that people are using nowadays.  Even the glossy cards that are a giant pain if you only have a ball point!

Well, here is the tip.  Start coding the cards you get at events so you can quickly determine who you would like to chat with after the event.  Here is how my coding goes.  Very Simple.  If I meet someone and the are sharp and give me some reason to chat with them further, I take my sharpie and draw a star on the front of the card.  When I get home or back to the office, I know this is a person who I will make the effort to stay in touch with.  If however, I meet someone who I think is a total dumb ass or they just threw their card at me as if their goal was to just distribute as many cards as possible I will draw a happy face on the card.  This means when I get back to the office that the card gives me a smile as I throw it in the trash can!

Funny story, I used to write “dumb ass” on the cards of people who I had no interest in talking to ever again but I learned the hard way that this was not the best approach.  I was working a trade show when a total tool started pitching me all about his business in the MOST obnoxious way possible.  I took out my best networking tool (Sharpie) and proceeded to write Dumb Ass on his card and threw it in our leads bowl.  He watched me write on the card AND put it in our leads bowl. Wouldn’t you know it, he came back a few minutes later still convinced there was a snowballs chance in hell I would be following up with him.  He asked if I could pull the card out because he had failed to write his “new” mobile number on the card.  I had to do the dance because I knew what I had written on the card.  I now draw a smiley face!

Anyone who just hands me their card or is a tool gets a smiley face.  However, everyone I think is AWESOME gets a HUGE star!  I get so excited when I come home from an event and my pocket is full of Stars!!  As a side note, I always ask myself when I am handing out a card whether the person on the receiving end thinks I am a star?  If not, I work hard to make them draw a star on my card!  I suggest you do the same!!

Give someone an AWESOME day!  If you like this post, please share it on Facebook or leave me a comment on what you do with the cards you get at events.

P.S. When you are ready to leave either here or www.CaseyEberhart.com I am happy to give you a really cool download of a teleclass I did on how to turn business cards into cash.  Your free gift aka bribe for putting in your name and email address to the annoying pop up that is gonna appear. I hate spam and I promise to only send  you cool stuff!

P.P.S. Thank you for making it to the bottom of this post!  You would get a star on your card! 😉

Casey Eberhart wants to sing Twisted Sister 3 times today?

Hey Gang~~  So I woke up this morning with the song “I wanna Rock!” by Twisted Sister in my head!  Perhaps it because I had such an awesome day yesterday? Perhaps it was because I am perpetually stuck in the 80’s? Perhaps it is because I long to be a member of one of the biggest “Hair Bands” of modern day?  Whatever the reason, it is the song of the day.  After reading the quote of the day and especially the action item, I would love to know the song you are willing to sing 3 times today.  It can be anything! Heck, even if you have the inner urge to hum a few bars of the opening to The Price Is Right, I WANNA KNOW! 😉  Please leave your comments and include your song! Give the folks at home some crazy ideas.  Hint: If you are an artist, maybe let us know a little about you!  Again, please feel free to leave some song ideas.

“I don’t sing because I’m happy; I’m happy because I sing.”
Psychologist, William James

Your action for today is to pick a song you love and sing it at least three times during the day.

Give someone an AWESOME day and let them here you sing!!!

 

The Very First Step is Difficult!

“The distance is nothing. It is only the first step that is difficult.”
Author, Marie de Vichy-Chamrond

Your action for today is to put in writing one action item to do regarding an idea you’ve wanted to accomplish.

I was thinking about this action item and wanted to let you in on a little secret tool that I have been using for a few weeks and have had some awesome results!  One of my action items that I want to accomplish is having over 100 people take a gander at this cool tool suite.  I know, I know this post may sound a tad like a promotional post so let’s just say it is! 😉 I hope you understand that if I like something I want the world to see it.  You will see more about the tool suite as the weeks go by but if you are one of those peeps that can make a decision on something really cool, then you will click here to check it out!

By the way, when you leave my blog, you will be asked if you would like to receive a download of a call I did about turning business cards into cash.  I would HIGHLY recommend taking me up on my offer, this call gets HUGE results for people and it is my gift (and by gift I mean a bribe) to let me stay in touch with you.

So the first step is difficult but take a stand to start your online presence and start by trying out www.AwesomeToolSuite.com for a week all for under 6 bucks!

Give someone an AWESOME day!

Are You Blaming Someone for Your Mistake?

“To err is human; to blame it on the other guy is even more human.”
Author, Bob Goddard

Your action for today is to see if you are blaming someone for something for which you need to take responsibility.

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

I would love your comments or at the very least a Facebook share.;)  I have often asked people if they would rather be rich or right? It is amazing to me how many people especially when networking with other people will blame everything on someone else.  For some reason, people think there is something wrong with taking some responsibility for their actions.  I have no idea why.  For me, when someone steps up and takes responsibility for a mistake or accident, no matter how big the mistake it makes me feel like they are operating from a place of integrity and honesty.  I would love your thoughts on this.  Oh, yeah, you may be asked as you leave here if you would like a free download of a call I did that has received the most requests of any call I have done.  Please accept it as my gift to you.  Have an awesome day, go connect with someone new!
