NetworkingPhoenix events this week


So many exciting things happening this week! Did you happen to catch me on Ch 12 on Friday night? If not, here is the clip to Jobs 911: What not to wear to interviews. There is also a great article about NetworkingPhoenix.com in the Jewish News that came out this week. Thanks to my Publicist, Deb Plunket, for getting me in the spotlight :)
Don't miss it this Thursday at 11:30am as Dave Sherman, The Networking Guy, and I join together and present our Learn How to Network like a PRO seminar. Learn the most important parts of successful face-to-face networking; where to go, what to say and walk away with tangible social media tips. This is a very popular seminar and seats go quick! Reserve your spot today.


We've got nearly 400 people RSVPd for our upcoming NetworkingPhoenix.com Signature Event. Yay! Those individuals, because they are RSVPd, are eligible to win our door prizes: Metro Studios - Professionally videotaped 30 second elevator pitch ($300 value); Dave Sherman's Successful Networker Program - the whole set ($400 value); ACT! 2010 Corporate Edition - includes ACT! by Sage Premium and ACT! by Sage Premium for Web, plus all the resources of Corporate Licensing ($460 value). Don't wait...get your name on the list to be entered into the drawing! The last two events have brought out ~1,000 networkers. It's the biggest FREE networking event in the Valley and I'm really looking forward to seeing you there! RSVP here.


And on a more personal note...this Saturday night we celebrated Mitra's birthday! Mitra is our Director of Operations and basically my right arm, left arm, right leg...you get the point :) She decided to hold the festivities at a fairly new place in town, called Howl at the Moon, a dueling piano bar. Mitra reserved 4 tables right up front, which was a good idea because the place got packed! We had such a blast! The venue was fantastic and the piano players really put on a good show. So if you're looking for a place to have your next birthday bash or a company party...I would highly recommend Howl! They'll also have a table at our Signature Event, so drop by and say hello.


Alright...a few more special events to pay close attention to and then you can focus on the rest of the email!


  • Free debt settlement seminar put on by one of our members, Rene Lopo. Past seminars have always been very informative.
