Business Blitz is a Performance Management based company providing Workshops, Mentoring and Solutions to Independent Business Owners, Professionals and Sales Executives.

"Networking" is Not Working?it's Broken! We understand that many professionals are catching on to the buzz word?"Networking". Is networking an important part of your business? Yes. However the majority of individuals and businesses are simply NOT implementing Effective Networking Strategies. You must understand the power of Viral Marketing and how to execute it consistently and effectively.

Networking is an ACTIVITY that MUST provides consistent RESULTS! Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness. It can often be word-of-mouth delivered and enhanced online; it can harness the network effect of the Internet and can be very useful in reaching a large number of the right people rapidly.

Many consider attending a "Happy Hour" a couple nights a week and exchanging business cards effective networking. Many consider their weekly "protected industry referral group" effective networking. Many consider a 30 second commercial at a local Chamber meeting effective networking.

This is fundamentally correct however is often done with no planning or execution strategy that provides a high return on your time and efforts. Networking IS important, but ONLY if you have an effective plan and execution strategy that will provide you with a RETURN ON YOUR TIME!

Do you know who your Best Referral Source is? A Referral Source is someone who knows MANY people who fit your target market clientele profile.
Do you know exactly who your target market is?
Do you know your clients profile? What they do? Where they go? Who they know? Do you know their needs and wants?
Are you attending the Networking events that will provide you with the most effective new contacts for your business?
Do you have a consistent follow up strategy for new contacts? If so, is it working?
Are you able to quickly articulate how your product or service provides benefits or value to your new contacts (based on their needs)? This is often referred to as a 30 second commercial, IBS (Initial Benefits Statement), pitch or USP (Unique Selling Proposition)
In your "30 Second Commercial" do you say the word "I" or "my" more than 2 times?
Do you know where to Network?
Do you utilize the Internet Effectively and Consistently with the intentions of Effective Marketing?

These are very important questions?

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.

Retrain your Brain
Over the course of our lifetimes, we all tend to develop habits, attitudes and behaviors that diminish our ability to accomplish more. In effect, our brains become programmed with negative and bad information that self-limit us from realizing our full potential. But the good news is that we can change our lives by retraining our minds. If you are an athlete, musician, speaker, etc., how do you improve your skills?
Blitz will show you how and give you the opportunity to Practice, Practice, Practice!
Many different companies offer seminars and workshops. Typically these are provided in a 3 day seminar or a full day workshop. While they are highly motivational and they provide lots of valuable information? the materials, the ideas and the motivation often fades away with time. You leave with 100 ideas for your business. By day 5 you remember 20 of the ideas and after 2 weeks you remember and decide to implement a couple of them.
Blitz has an innovative training concept, providing shorter and regular workshops to our member base. Thus, allowing you to absorb information, practice new techniques, implement new ideas and evaluate your results.
During our highly interactive workshops members and guests go through various courses using group exercises and self-analysis. Scaled-down weekly workshops provide those who are dedicated and serious about attaining their goals to dissect materials in smaller pieces, go back to their business and sequentially follow an effective implementation and evaluation plan.

Workshops are taught in a non-threatening group, surrounded by positive individuals. Blitz makes it easy to learn together and apply the principles to your own personal situation. As you master initial goals, skills and systems, you continue to improve your performance through our workshops over time. This is manageable and effective.

An additional value comes through our Networking Mixers which are designed to give you an opportunity to deepen and strengthen your relationships with the member community. Networking with others who practice the Blitz System, provides ultimate value.
