Testimonial for 4/24/08

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to get a message out to you all thanking you for a great couple of hours this morning. I had a great time and enjoyed meeting and speaking with all of you. This was my first meeting and I wasn't really quite sure what to expect. I only know it went beyond anything I could have imagined.

Special thanks and kudos to David for dreaming this up. I believe this is what networking really should be about.

See you next week!

Associate, World Financial Group, Inc.

Sometimes just showing up ....

On the most recent 1st Monday of the month I went to my first
LinkedIn LIVE event at the
Perk & Pub 12862 W. Bluemound Rd, Elm Grove WI 53122 It's an open
event from 5:30 to 8:30.

Here's a calendar of some of the known events around town.

This TinyURL http://tinyurl.com/5uznkx
is the calendar button from here
http://www.mkelive.com/mke.

JoeNetworks will get a listing or link there at some point in time.

And at that place I met Katie Felten who is about as networked as
I've ever seen.

If there were a prize she would get the blue ribbon for being the
first ever to have asked about the Business Book Club listed on
YourMessageDoctor.com.

She's quite a reader herself and we traded recommendations and the
hopes that something else might develop from this trading of ideas.

Signs point to yes.

Meanwhile ... we'll see YOU out and around.

"Care for your words and they will care for you."

Admission: Just a cup of Joe.

There is a long standing perception that you get what you pay for. But 'pay for' is not limited to cash out of pocket.

I am reading Here Comes Everybody. He's talking about collaborative successes. Wiki, Linux - others. I like that model. JoeNetworks is not free. It has greater value the more you put into it.

What do you put into it?

JoeNetworks Venue Selection

Not too noisy, too busy, or too crowded. This is about meet and greet. So, not too much of anything that is not amenable to meeting and greeting.

A coffee house seems to be a fine mix. They generally also have tea, juices and bakery.
And, there are some restaurants that can be appropriate.

Mind you, this is not about sheer quantity of contacts, but about making sure that the food event does not cut unnecessarily into the time and space apparently alloted for networking.

About JoeNetworks

We are an open, B2B networking group that is part interactive, part focus group, and part Master Mind. Rather than insisting that we are the experts with the elevator speech, we allow for comments, queries, criticism, as well as camaraderie.

Call someone on the list to the right and ask them what happens.
Or call me, the original Joe - 414-282-7185.
