Blog with TD Gift Solutions

Today was quite a busy day for us here at TD Gift Solutions, LLC. After meeting with a couple of clients I attended the business expo put on by our local Salt Lake City chamber. The food was great and I made some great new contacts I had not even considered.

There was the one... the one business owner whos rude behavior still has me chuckling and thinking, how in the world does he ever get contacts beyond those just in front of his face???

We introduce our selves with a hand shake, he starts telling me about his business and what it does. He asks me about my business and I kid you not, I was in mid-sentence about my gift consulting services, had given him my card when another business owner walked up. The business owner with whom I had been talking with ( A research marketing company) turned away from me as if I had suddenly vanished and started talking to the other business owner. The mannerisms of the owner of the marketing research company made it very clear to me that he did not feel I could be of any use to his company. Now by this time I had already picked up his business card and at the time it just did not occur to me when he said "Thanks" as if he was dismissing me to just put his card back on his table and walk away.

I don't get business owners who are networking snobs. My purpose for going to networking events is to build my circle of contacts and increase the exposure of my company to the friends and colleagues of those I meet. If I were a networking snob I would get very little referral business.

You think I should send him a book on the real reasons to network???,lol.

To your success
