GIVERS GAIN AGAIN & AGAIN

Want to know a surefire way to meet a lot of people and gain their instant respect (ok not so instant...it takes a few weeks) ...Here is a great way to make yourself known and to help you get to widen your sphere of influence.
Make sure you take your camera to a networking event. Take a picture with someone at the event that you like...either you like their business, their personality or whatever. Someone that you may have "clicked" with. Now make sure that you get business cards from 4 or 5 others at least that were at the event...I'm using a networking event as an example but it could have been anything...even your kids soccer game. Now when you get back home make a real greeting card (not email, too impersonal) to send a card to the 5 new people you met. (I use SendOutCards) Let them know that it was either good meeting them or seeing them again. On the other side of the flap inside the card put the picture of you and the one person you picked to spotlight. Introduce them, telling the name of their company and what they do...a short bio. You have now just promoted someone else's business to 5 new people you just met. Make sure you send a note to the spotlighted person letting them know that you shared their info with some colleagues. Now at the next event, take a picture with a different person with an entirely different business. Get 5 new names and do the same thing again only this time you send the card to the new 5 and the previous 5 promoting this new guys business. You can do this as many times as you like. Soon you will be the person that everyone knows or wants to know because you will be hopefully promoting them soon. The more you promote others, the more people will want to, and feel obligated to promote you... It's called the Law of reciprocity. People want to give back to those people that they feel have given to them. Hope this helps.
God Bless
