1) Turning my TV off.
2) Spending free time with my family
3) I spend every free minute (after family time) networking online. Which involves getting my name out there (LinkedIn, Facebook, Yahoo Groups, Google+, Google Places, Blogs, Craigslist, Angies List, etc.).
4) Networking via the Post Office. I go to attorney data bases and mail out introduction letters, business cards and brochures.
5) I Network in person. I visit attorneys and insurance claims reps and bring them brochures.
6) I always leave my office/home with a goal of handing out at least 12 business card each day. When anyone asks for my address or telephone number (bank, store, mechanic, etc.) I hand them a business card let them write it down and then they may keep the card for future reference (this drives my family bonkers).
7) Joining civic organizations and professional groups.
8) I update my business website weekly.
9) I always follow up on all leads.
10) I smile and always keep an upbeat altitude. Potential clients do not like to do business with down and out business people.
This plan works Trust Me!
WARNING! URGENT!
If you Google your business name and it does not produce a minimum of 50 results then you need to get going and work on your business networking plan Immediately.
