Networking Fail Don’t Be A Puker!

September 9, 2013 By Tim Somers 6 Comments

So I just got back from a networking event, I love these events they have been great for my business.  But at every single one of the networking events I have attended over the years I continue to see people that just don’t get it.  When you are at a networking event you are not there to sell, let me say it again, when you are at a networking event you are NOT there to sell.  Do not be a puker!  What’s a puker you ask?  A puker is someone you meet for the first time and they spew out all kinds of stuff about them and the product or service they want you to buy right then and there.
It’s a huge turn off – nobody wants to be sold.  So stop puking at networking events.  You need to be interested in those you are talking to, listen to their needs; there issues make it about them not about you.  Network this way and you will get more business and referrals then you’ll know what to do with.

    People forget how much they can learn by listening to other people. These are basic Marketing tips, but they need to be repeated to make sure that everyone gets the idea. Thanks, Tim.

    A good way to act would be as a Real estate agent does at an initial meeting: Find out what the Prospect wants, before you start telling them about your properties.
    Before you find out that he isn’t ready to move, and therefore waste your time showing him all the properties that you have, you can offer him free information that will make him trust you for when he does want to move!

Tracy Hill is wonderful, and is a great resource for all business owners. Tracy helped me get Style Books with my logo embossed on them, and I couldn't be happier with them. She worked with me and the vendor to make sure everything was perfect. Her customer service and follow-up was wonderful. I would highly recommend working with Tracy to any business owner needing marketing materials/promotional products!

Tim: Just like when one of my gift baskets arrives and you're so excited when you open the box and you're seeing something magical for the first time--that's how I felt when I saw those magnets. You did a fabulous job!

Mary Lewinski, Extra Special Baskets    Website   

I would like to thank Tracy Hill for a fantastic job. I had a huge networking event fast approaching and I needed promotional items for my vendor table. Tracy was able to recommend several options and cleaver ideas. We were able to place my order and I received the items in time for my event. I ordered pens and they look amazing.

I would highly recommend Bizarre Marketing and I would definitely recommend Tracy, she is the BEST!

I am so happy with my pens and business cards. I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw my pens (pink no doubt). My business cards are amazing - I finally got official cards with my logo, no more generic cards (they served their purpose). Tracy Hill was my representative and she is the absolute BEST! She helped me with ideas for an upcoming event and ensured everything would arrive on time for event.

Valerie Priester - Victorious Life Coaching    Website   

Thank you Tracy for helping me with our health fair. The Large insulated bags were a hit and are of very high quality. The pin wheels with our name on the handle were a hit as well with the children and the parents.
