Attend a Business Mixer, Or, Host One!

Okay, so, what are your plans to increase your revenue for the next quarter? Have you a plan? If you don't, get one, now. Start today. Plan what you will do for the next 90 days to increase your business.

One idea that I will provide to you, today, is to attend or host a business mixer. Your local business community holds these events on a regular basis. Join your local Chamber of Commerce. Learn who your business community and support are. It is not expensive, yet, the business that you will generate from these business associations will provide you with growth and income. Everyone has a niche, find yours.

If you are able to, make a list of all of the businesses that you work with on your transactions. Whether it be five or twenty, write down their names and contact information. Now, choose a date. Early evenings seem to work best. Say, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. You can hold this at your office, or, at one of the businesses. You can serve light refreshments. After all, you are all there to create and share business, not to eat a meal. Having a doorprize, donated by a local company, may entice more to attend. You can use an online invitation(evite.com)free, a handwritten communication or your phone. The object is to contact and confirm their attendance.

Get out and get together with your vendors! Network with them, share your marketing ideas and exchange cards! There is business out there. You need to go out and find it. These businesses have friends, family members and neighbors who may be in need of a good Realtor. Make sure that they think of you, when they are looking to refer someone.

It's a Good Life!
