December 6th we achieved another milestone with our first online virtual networking meeting for Global Connections Networking. A number of individuals listened in via the simulcast allowing participants to network around the globe. Still others took advantage of the phone connection. The benefit of all attendees sharing contact information as well as their ideal referral really attracted some new businesses.
Since we experienced some obstacles for those choosing to deliver their Audio Business Card (or elevator speech), we have found a way to make it work better for everyone. It seems that in today’s technology being able to mute on so many levels prevented some folks from speaking their business.
We are getting some wonderful positive feedback so we look forward to seeing just how far this will grow. For the present, attendance at the online meeting is free so visit http://www.globalconnectionsnetworking.com/virtual_meeting.htm to sign-up. On the same page, you can listen to the recording of the meeting and hear some great information about backing up your computer as well as your Microsoft Outlook®.
This week is our last Mastermind meeting for 2007. The Mastermind is open to members only (not sure if you’re a member or not – see membership details here http://www.globalconnectionsnetworking.com/membership.htm) and treated with complete confidentiality. It is like having your own board of advisors.
Update on the physical meetings in Southern California:
- We have changed the meeting dates for the Agoura Hills Networking meeting to the Third Thursday of the month and the meeting will resume January 17, 2008 at 9:00 AM with Aaron Danchik of Synchronized Solutions at the helm.
- For those of you with an eye for detail you will also notice that the El Segundo meeting is the same day. We will resume our meeting there at 6:00 PM headed up by Suzy Prudden SuzyPrudden.com.
- The North Hills Networking meeting will resume FEBRUARY 7, 2008 at 6:00 PM led by Karen Weil.
On a personal note – having the meetings headed up by these wonderful individuals allows me to be supporting our members at large – really working on getting the interviews of the existing members wrapped up is one of the top priorities. If you have not completed yours – I will be in touch 
Our connections with Facebook and our discussion forum / membership is growing there too. If you would like to discuss information, ideas or pose questions check out the group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=18895264392.
For our MySpace folks a group has been newly created at http://groups.myspace.com/globalconnectionsnetworking.
As always make it a GREAT week and please stay warm. For those of our readers in the areas affected by the ice storms you are in our thoughts.
