Awful cold...

7 AM - Preparing for BNI Meeting: Chateau Elan Networking Elites - A network meeting where people pass referrals to one another.

Mainly my goals today are to make all my meetings be productive.  I'm going to monitor my e-mail but my call list doesn't have anyone on it.

8:00 AM - Leaving for the meeting, I have a new 60 second presentation utilizing the letter "M"

8:15 AM - I'm there with about 10 others getting ready to start.

8:30 AM - People are sitting, it's not netSIT so I am getting them up to WORK.

8:45 AM - Kicking the meeting off! About 45 people here. I'm sick and I notice that people notice, gotta bring more energy! Good morning Sales Team!!!!

9:35 AM - Tony Erwin gives us 10 minutes of what he does... very cool guy.

10:05 AM - Meeting over a little bit late but it's always good.

10:40 AM - Meeting with a printer to talk about some big marketing plans.  Very productive meeting, some creative ideas passed that actually improve the product and save money!

1:00 PM - Meeting with Doug Duffee, Sugarhill Collision, Paint and Body shop - Very interesting person, has made millions and lost millions.  Runs an interesting shop.  We'll be networking.  Who knows the possibilities, unless you explore them.

2:15 PM - Rushing home to call an executive at a well known company.

3:00 PM - On the phone with someone with "executive power" as he put it.

3:30 PM - Very good phone call, he helped point me in the right directions, "You need a more concise sales pitch." I love being critiqued!  It helps me improve.

4:00 PM - Off to play golf!  HR Director, Staffing Agent are part of the foursome, we're walking 9. 

My score was so bad I won't post it here.  I did par a hole though!
