Call it a happy hour or coffee break if you prefer but this is a chance to rest from your mundane chores and meet a few new people. Since you are doing it from your own location you will need to provide your own beverage and snacks but we will provide the opportunity to interact with some interesting individuals and learn a bit about eachother. Here are the guidelines. Ideally you will call in to the phone number provided using your landline, cell phone, Skype, VOIP, ship to shore radio or whatever you have. Simultaneously you will monitor your Blitztime Internet console that will automatically display the profile of the person you are speaking with and display your profile to them. So be sure to take 3 or 4 minutes to prepare your profile in advance of the meeting. Ideally when you register. Like now. After a few introductory remarks (about 5 minutes) you will be randomly paired ( by the blitztime magic randomizer) with someone else on the call. During your short (3-4 minute) meeting I suggest you tell your partner something you did this week to help a client or how you introduced someone to your product or service as a way of explaining what you do. So instead of saying: "My name is Reno and I produce short multi-media web videos." You might say, "My name is Reno and I just completed the production of a short web video for a client who recently published a novel and I am working with a potential client who owns a sign company and wants a short web video to show people the different kinds of signs he manufactures. In this way in a short period of time you can give your new contact an idea of what kinds of projects you do and the benefits of your product or service. He or she will likely respond with a few questions to clarify and then share his or her business experience with you. This is a bit like speed dating or networking on the subway. When your time is up you will be abruptly and unceremoniously switched to a new partner. But no worries mate! You'll have a chance to send an email through the system when the event is over and follow-up with those individuals that tickled your proverbial fancy. You will repeat this process 3 or 4 times. Each time getting increasing more delighted by the process as you improve your online networking skills. So be not afraid. This is a fun new way to make business contacts and expand your sphere of influence, and you don't even have to comb your hair. Register now!
