Today, I went to Purgatory and back again! That's right, Purgatory, MASS. Purgatory is about an hour or so outside of Boston ... I'm here visiting family.
Purgatory actually is not that bad a place. Today, the weather was perfect while we played mini-golf and ate great ice cream at the West End Creamery. While playing mini-golf, I got a hole in one!!
Did you ever get a hole in one while networking? I mean ... did you ever meet just the right person at just the right time? Someone that opened up multiple opportunities for you and your business? In BNI, we call this person a "golden goose"! The golden goose is better than the golden egg because the goose continues to lay golden eggs over and over. The golden goose referral partner continues to refer you over and over to the perfect type of client. That, my friend, is a networking hole in one!
Another networking hole in one looks like this: It's a busy day and despite the fact that you really don't feel like networking, you still go to the Chamber lunch mixer. At the mixer, you meet someone that your referral partner has been wanting to meet for months! After some conversation, you're able to convince this person to meet your referral partner in person and arrange the meeting. Because of this effort, your referral partner is able to close a very nice piece of business! That my friends, is another hole in one.
What's your best networking hole in one story?
