Recently I have attended several networking events where I was amazed to find out that there were several people from the same business attending the event too. What was amazing was that those people sat right next to each other at the same tables. What were they thinking?

In the one instance those people were at the table where I chose to sit. I tried to strike up a conversation with the person to my right, and no matter what I asked I was met with conversation ending answers. It sure did make me hesitant about speaking to the two additional people representing the same company. The person who didn’t feel like conversing essentially acted as a barrier to the other two people sitting to her right.

Follow Up And Turn Prospects Into Clients
How long does it take to get a client? First, the client has to become aware that we exist, and then that we can solve his problems with our products or services. That growth of awareness is a slow process. It takes time.Let's say you've just sent out a batch of 200 letters, introducing y
