How
to Speak Effectively
at meetings of the
Tampa Bay Business Builders
No one
is compelled to bring a lead to a meeting. TBBB members work for each other through
friendship and reciprocal favors rather than quotas. We try to eliminate cold calls
through referrals. And we don't just make referrals -- we work to make QUALIFIED referrals
for one another.
At every
meeting, we have ten-minute presentation by one of our members. Here are some hints on how
to use your time to best advantage. These techniques work best when each member has been
thoroughly educated in what other members need and what the other members are seeking in
new business opportunities.
Members
of the Tampa Bay Business Builders approach networking seriously.
Don't
make a sales pitch! Start with these guidelines when making a member presentation. The
purpose of your presentation is to tell other TBBB members what you look for in a referral
so they can guide qualified referrals to you. The better you communicate this information,
the better your TBBB referrals will be!
