Networking with Utah Valley Leads Connection

Brad invited me to a networking group called Utah Valley Leads Connection. We met in a conference room at Key Bank. This group of entrepreneurs comes together every other week to practice pitching our service in 30 seconds or less, talk to one another one-on-one and listen to a presentation. This week we learned about Estate planning.

After a short lunch, we took a few minutes to talk to one another and learn about which company we represented and exchanged business cards. It is said that "you should start digging a well before you are thirsty." In essence the purpose of building relationships goes far beyond just closing a sale. In building relationships of trust we have a variety of talented professionals to recommend to ourselves and others when a need arises.

This was my first meeting. I enjoyed the opportunity to talk and have some lunch. At the close of the meeting, each member and guests were invited to give a "shout out" about their experience with another member's service. Bret Rosier praised Scot Moran for his Facebook app that allows him to share an interactive business card with all of his contacts. He said that in 2 weeks, he received 10 leads, click to see Bret's business card. An impressive return on investment! A group gathered around Scott as he demonstrated some impressive new ways to connect with new customers using facial recognition technology. He used a smart phone to scan the cover of a magazine, to start an interactive video.
