Marketing Minute: Regina Howland

Regina talked about ‘The Expert Educational Micro-Event’ as an effective marketing idea, where you shift the focus from selling your product or service to teaching prospective customers about it. This is a valuable strategy to show how you’re an expert in your field and a great way to gain trust.

Presenters:

Paul Tracy spoke about how NRG has benefited him. He loves the business card member folio, how he’s made good business connections, and relationship building to become friends with other members.

Kevin LoCicero attended Visitors Day year ago this month and wondered what NRG was all about. It didn’t take him long to figure out 5 Benefits to NRG membership:

• Built-in network around you

• Brainstorming with other members

• Buddies - fellow members have become friends

• Best practices: Honing our 60 second motivators, Marketing Magician segments, presentations are sessions to learn

• Build confidence with making presentations

• Bonus benefit: Be open to NRG to keep your business booming

Darryl Powell actively looks to make connections, referrals and it works very effectively. Consistency and commitment every Tuesday morning is worth it for the friends, connections and outcome for his business. Members are people his trusts and likes. He also stressed the value of seeing members on a recurring basis - now he can share quality referrals.
