Chateau Elan Netowrking Elites BNI group has become the premiere group in the Chateau Elan area located in Braselton, GA. BNI, like the chamber of commerce has a 60 second commercial or elevator pitch or spotlight presentation. Most new networkers have never done one and, although I am completely biased, I think we have some of the best. Here's Tony Woodall with the Coffee News:

networking: Voting Lines - A Missed Opportunity - 11/04/08 02:35 PM
Sure voting is patriotic and it's a great thing that this country is able to do, but blogging about your actual process of voting, is it worth it. I'd hate to get all philisophical here, but really, is blogging about anything other than what the consumers care about worth our time. How about sharing some ideas we could have done instead of blogging about voting. Networking at the voting line - lines were much shorter than predicted, but they were still there. Guess who's in the line... YOUR NEIGHBORS! Passing out fliers or materials while in line - Wow! Who's that

Everyone has heard of Facebook by now, but how many of you are using it for business. Let's get something straight up front, it's not about being dissengenuious, it's about connecting and networking. Those who follow me on Twitter or Facebook understand the reason my cheesy slogan is "Real in Real Estate." I was on a great new service called BlitzTime which lets you do conference calls and speed networking all in one! It's a great service and a perfect platform for a class on utilizing facebook for business. I tweeted the key points but here they are in LONG BLOGORIPHIC

networking: NetWORK like you mean it - As opposed to Net Eat - Ideas to help you Network - 04/23/08 04:32 AM
Networking isn’t as easy as just showing up to an event and handing out business cards. Networking is an art. It's not Net-eat, net-shove-business -cards, net-relax, it's netWORK. As president of the Chateau Elan networking group, I've seen individuals of all ranges with varying ranges of success. Here are 5 tips that I have found in the more successful networkers. 1. Wait for the right window of opportunity to share your information. Show an interest in others first and then when the focus turns to you, share your business card and business goals. When someone walks in handing out business cards indiscriminately,

networking: Zolve: MySpace For Realtors or Active Rain CopyCat? - 11/08/07 04:41 AM
I recently came across another online networking site similiar to Active Rain. Zolve, actually says it's the myspace for Real Estate professionals. If that's true, then I can only hope that Realtors will put their favorite obnoxious music, unprofessional photos of themselves in precarious positions and use text speak on their "blogs" so that I will shine just a little bit more. Truth is, I've been using that comparison to try to explain what Active Rain is to my office. Anytime anyone hears myspace, they either think, "oh, cool" or just "oh" and then frown. If you're on the internet you've likely

networking: What's YOUR greatest Referral source? - 08/01/07 01:11 PM
I just got back from my weekly networking meeting and one of the questions that we all had is what is your greatest referral source. Specifically, what is someone or something that produces the most business for you. I'd like to exclude the internet as well as any other advertising as these are NOT referrals. I am talking about someone picking up the phone or meeting you in person and not just passing information but setting you up for success as well. The kind of business where you walk in the door with instant rapport. With that in mind, What's YOUR greatest NEW

networking: Networking Groups: Are you working them? - 07/26/07 07:24 AM
Yesterday, I had a great informational session to start a networking group in an area near to me. The group is being "chartered" by BNI (Business Networking International). This is a company that helps set up and maintain networking groups with some rigid standards regarding attendance and education. My question is, with the proliferation of these groups, which ones are you using and what's working for you personally AND your bottomline? For instance, I'm planning on getting involved in our local Kiwanis group, for the personal side but the BNI meeting is almost purely for referrals.
