Reel in referral contacts in no time flat with Speed Networking

var convention speed networking realtorsPump up Your Referral Network: Speed Networking: Saturday, September 27 at 4 p.m.

Here’s a news flash: REALTORS® aren’t exactly known for being introverts. Still, some of us on the VAR staff notice that attendees tend to flock together with other REALTORS® from their local associations, making it difficult for even the most gregarious agent or broker to actually meet new professionals from other parts of the state. And then there are the rare introverted agents who would benefit from a little bit of structured networking time. We have the solution and it’s called speed networking.

During this facilitated networking activity, we predict you’ll meet more people in the space of an hour than you would ordinarily meet all day long at a convention. Bring a thick stack of business cards and prepare to schmooze until you lose your breath. Having facilitated many speed learning events for other groups, I can assure you that one of the byproducts is becoming hoarse and tired from the constant talking. Not for the faint of breath.

You bring your elevator pitch, some interesting conversation, and business cards. Speed networking will do the rest.

    This is a great idea. I do tend to be on the shy side, believe it or not.

    If this is what you’re coming up with in May, can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Got something to say?
