Effective Networking

I was recently asked by a reporter to share tips on how to network successfullyat events.   "What tips, etiquette rules, and do's and don'ts should entrepreneurs adhere to when interacting with others at
networking events? Are there easy ways entrepreneurs can turn on the charm and attract the people and opportunities they want?"

Here was the answer I shared:

There are many opinions, but only one way to get the best results.

They are outlined as follows:
1) Set aside your own agenda and see how many people you can help.

2) Don't ask for cards.   Instead, help people so much beyond their experience of typical networking, that they can't help but ask for yours.   You've just made a friend for life... someone that will continue to look for you.

3) If you do get cards, don't plug them into your newsletter, unless you ask them when you meet them, "May I send a copy of my newsletter to you?"   Then let them opt-in!

4) Stay away from any networking group that allows only one of each category (ie: one realtor, one insurance person, etc.)   Those networks are already telling you that they are a competitive mindset and coming from scarcity.   There is enough for everyone, and if you help all, including your competition, you will be greatly rewarded.

CEO Space for Graduates

Join Berny Dohrmann and CEO Space to move to hyper growth and stay there requires layered skills and increasingly developed markets. Weak plans, weak teams and limited resources to execute create “income traps” in which individuals reside as if in a financial bird cage of pure struggle and stress for life. There is no magic bullet to get out of the financial bird cage, nor is there an uncle Ben’s minute rice or a micro wave success mechanism. There is a box top rule set for the financial monopoly game, that will get everyone out of their financial bird cage and that IS – CEO SPACE –

The value is built upon:

* Multiple layers of successive core skill upgrading for the boss owner professional – one class at a time – one building on the next as new practices show up.

·       New teams and new plans forged and improved – by trial and error and assessment and replacement to assure the evolving matrix works.
·       Resources in new clients affiliations and capital required to go all the way this time.

The commitment to the ONGOING PROCESS of forever stepping out of a lifetime financial bird cage is what CEO SPACE exists to provide. CEO SPACE is organic. If you exist as TOW TRUCK IN A BOX does at such a large success level or Wen of Sticky Sheet, you return for the same reasons you originally came. You live with LEARN – THAN EARN – THAN RETURN but you also increase your plan, team, customers, capital as you return one class at a time – twenty some classes later.

The most successful graduates use CEO SPACE as a regular gym to get out of their own financial bird cage at the moment. If you’re doing development space work we help you. If your progressing to mid level we  work we help you. If your beyond that as many are or Fortune level we help you. CEO SPACE is organic – the level you are playing at will be met by the solution dynamic you require at THAT time.

Regular repeated attendance at CEOspace grows YOU and grows your business.

George Booth • Peter I love your website, it's an awesome cut and paste from the net. I certainly love the part where you tell people to avoid scams and fees and on another page offer your "start-up" guide for $79.00.

Absolutely love the cajones you have man, best of luck. Your site is right, there is one born every minute.

Peter Ireland • Georgie, sounds like you're angry at something. Don't drag me into your drama.

Peter Ireland • As for cut & paste. Georgie. Show me where I have done that. Go ahead. Until then I am calling you a cheap cowardly liar.

 George Booth • Well if you are sure you want to do this, then I guess I'll accomodate you.

They are typically entrepreneurs themselves. Angel investors differ from venture capitalists in that they are investing their own hard-earned money into your company rather than that of institutional investors. They usually invest in the range of $25,000 to $250,000.

You have to ask yourself if venture capital is a realistic financing option for you. Most entrepreneurs who pursue venture capital don't qualify and merely end up wasting a lot of time (on average from 6 to 18 months) and energy in a futile pursuit.

I could go on, but I digress. You failed to mention my primary bitch in that you blast people for charging for services on one page, but you yourself are charging a fee for your start up plan. You are probably a nice guy Peter, I'm just pointing out the hypocracy and disingenuous nature of your site.

Thanks for playing Petey!

Peter Ireland • Thank you Georgie, you truly are an idiot. I am going to contact roberrt contreras with a DMCA. As for the scribd, it's a verbatim knock off of my page.

You are a pathetic loser, Georgie.

George Booth • Checked with the Washington Secretary of State's business lookup, it appears you have been inactive since 2001, you may want to have a chat with them... just looking out for you pal.

Peter Ireland • LOLz! You really are a head case. I looked at your site. Are you one of those money-minders? That's my bet.

George Booth • Referral only Peter. I only collect a fee when my client's objectives are met. I'm sure that's alien to most people on this forum but it's the only ethical way to do business.

I don't sell books, I don't teach my clients. I get them cold hard cash, pure and simple.
(f.y.i. don't use text chat, it diminishes your stellar reputation)

 Peter Ireland • So it was my little tirade against money-finders.
I suspected that.
Go find some honest work, son.

George Booth • Duly noted. 
 
Peter Ireland • Listen up Georgie, if you are having a bad day--which is really obvious--go pound your bed with a pillow. Maybe scream into the pillow too?

I'm not a good target for some keyboard commando during his first day on the Internet.

The Crying Entrepreneur

I so often see posts on social networks, most notably LinkedIn as it is the most widely used for the topic, wherein entrepreneurs seem to be crying about not getting funded.

Threads like this cause me to cringe as they clearly demonstrate that those
in opposition, clearly have no concept of the world of raising capital.


Whether you're going public with a Wall Street Firm, doing an M&A Deal, or
a myriad of other ventures, you're going to pay up front, even if they are
taking a slice. It happens on Wall Street every day.


For some reason, there is a rumor out there that this isn't so. It is.

Who else will pay for all the legal work? Many young ducklings suppose
that the legal work they've done (if any) is sufficient. It's not. It's
not even close.


The mere fact that people post deals in this group, is enough proof that
folks don't have a clue about deals and how they are done. There are more
SEC Violations in LinkedIn groups than there are people active in them.
This one is no exception.


Perhaps an even larger misnomer is that a private company is exempt from
Securities Laws. They are not.

The biggest mistake, however, is the entrepreneur who simply believes that
just because he has an idea, that the investment community owes it to him
or her, to consider their deal. Possibly an even bigger laugh, is the
number of times you read, "game changer," "Revolutionary Product," or some
other mangifyer for an idea. The non-investment side would probably
cringe if a film were played when they use such an expression, with someone
with a like idea, stating the exact same thing.


Are there finders out there that don't charge upfront? I suppose so, but
they are not that widely acclaimed, nor effective.

While many will send me an unsolicited proposal (some will even send mail
via linkedin, though I don't answer LinkedIn Mail) simply because our
network has a rather large percentage of millionaires & billionaires and we
generated several billion in funding just last year and the year before and
are now in our third decade, we are not a finder, simply a network. Do I
know capital sources? Yes. Will I take some Joe Schmoe from an email
group? No. A network is the most powerful component an entrepreneur can
have and a LinkedIn profile doesn't count as a network. A network is a
group of people you know personally and knows you right back.

As I wrote in an earlier blog post, many VCs get 20-40 unsolicited proposals per day.  That's up to 200 per week!   Can you now begin to imagine how much man-hours it would take to not only read through poorly written proposals (less than 10% are good), but to analyze them, then pursue due diligence?

This should be done for free, in the eyes of most entrepreneurs.   Especially those who haven't a clue as to how to get the attention of an investor, let alone attract it like a magnet and to compel us to open our wallets and write a check.
