Often times, as professionals, we cringe at the thought of having to attend business functions, forums, etc. I use to make it a practice to show up and sneak out as soon as possible. The thought wearing a fake smile or the meet greet social gathering was just overbearing for me.
Well, I took a long look at my disposition and realized that I was hurting myself, my business and cheating my company out of the opportunity for growth.
You see, once I changed my disposition, I began to see the value of it. Though you may not always get a lead right away, they do come. What I have learned to do is to be happy about introducing myself, my company and the services that I have to offer. If you are not excited about what you do, than no one us willl be either.
Recently, I attended a business forum and experienced a fruitful day of new prospects. I received a lead with contact info to a pharmacy company for id proofing, arrange a business lunch date with a title company and was sent an e-mail to advertise in a women's business yellowpages. You just don't know where a lead may come from.
Be bold, be brave and get out there and represent yourself and your business that will get people motivated to pick up the phone and give you a call for service.

I agree it has a lot to do with your disposition and your passion for your work. I'm excited about the work that I do and it comes out naturally in daily conversation. I've been picking up real estate leads just from letting people know what I do in daily life.
