Video on How to Use and Leverage Inside919 

 

 

 

[Lawrence Tibbetts]

The friendships developing over time and the events that BUILD THEM! And then, wow, the business and networking that comes naturally. Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

[Nick Putnam]

The monthly after-hours and some of the lunch forums are similar to the Chamber of Commerce, but have something that the Chamber does not have. It combines those offline social events with an online counterpart. Even if you are shy you can expand your network using Inside!

Being a new member to Inside919 this year, what I have found to be most valuable of all... Is the creation of it! Without this platform, It would be much harder to connect and meet people within the community who care about sharing and helping each others small businesses grow. I'm thankful for the relationships and friendships I have already established, and I look forward to continually meeting and connecting with other members.

What has also been most helpful to me on Inside919 is... the class both you and Pat provided on how to better use and leverage Inside919 - The video post on this subject is a fabulous bonus. Not only is the video packed with such valuable information, it allows us the opportunity to recap on what we may have missed in class any time we want. No matter how many times you review it, you will learn something new every time.

Looking forward to implementing the strategies talked about at the maximizing class at the Center For Excellence. Have been using Advanced search to look for referral partners that are looking for me. Am very excited about creating a series of videos that answer the top ten questions about my business.

Martin,

In what different ways has Inside919 'worked' for different people? What I think would be helpful is (perhaps in a forum type presentation or gathering) members sharing success scenarios by having used the Inside919 venue and unique on-and-off-the-web opportunities. Kind of a live 'demo-after-the-fact" of what works and how it did work.

I know Inside919 greatest sharing of value is 'just that': promoting members to share and contribute value, and to truly help others in this local business interactive space. It is also a real "Learning Organization" if you want it to be. The real-life answers from the above question will I am sure illustrate the practice of this principle: help others and you gain more, rather than trying to make them buy your services or products.

[Martin Brossman]

Thanks for all the comment and questions and other questions are welcome.

[David Newton]

I just hope you keep doing what you are doing. To everyone out there I have but one thing to say. Martin Brossman's "free" class and Pat Howlett's "free" video are the best things since PrePaid Legal.

[Veronique]

Being a "member" of Inside919 since almost it's inseption, I have gained more knowledge, connections, and buisiness opportunities during the last 6 months than I have in the last 3 years. Why, because I finally "GOT IT"! I began to use the suggestions Pat offered, attending the Final Friday sessions and other training opportunities, giving feedback and contributions on the forum and blogs and genuinely wanting to help others with any tidbit of information I can provide. With me not focusing on what I want from others, rather how i can help has truly been enlightening for me and has given me new energy and opportunity to expand my business. Not to mention, me updating my profile (thanks Pat and Martin). that caused me to really think about how I wanted people to preceive me and what I would like for them to walk away with when they visit my profile. I appreciate all of the people on here that have a genuine heart to want to help each other. It's truly refreshing!

IF Pat and Martin have another class on maximizing Inside919 to grow your business, I would hope EVERYONE who hasn't already attended, ATTEND! It was definitely an eye opener! GREAT CLASS!

[Nancy Williams]

Hi Martin, what I have found to be the most useful are the offline get togethers. I love actual social events and talking to people face to face.
Having said that, the second most useful thing has been the training that I have received from you and Pat Howlett in referece to online networking.

[Martin Brossman]

You got it. The key is the one-on-one combined with the on-line.

[Gary Storm]

Martin;

Your recent class was very helpful. I dont think there's a more talented, knowledgeable duo than you and Pat in this whole social media "space".

Besides learning how to update my profile, the suggestion about using the search feature to find well matched potential referral partners is likely to be productive for me.

Thanks much Gary.
