My "Ask" is two things:
1. Please let me know if you have something digital that I can offer as part of the package when the invitations go out to people on May 16, 17, and 18. For example, I will be offering my LinkedIn Secrets E-book as part of the package when people purchase two books during this time.
2.Please help me push the message out to all your connections when the time comes.
Here's a thought! We could do this for all the authors in our group that would like to have their book be a best seller. -We could set up campaigns on different dates, of course.
What do you think?

How to job search by phone. It's not just for job seekers, it's a complete step-by-step guide to asking the right people for what you want, using the phone. I'd like to talk with you about it. Let's make that part of the conversation we have when we walk on Monday. I'm also working on an ebook for Clearing the Clutter in your Mental and Emotional House. This would be a great resource for people in transition.

As she lived through this experience, Christine discovered that she could not be a “lone wolf”.

She needed to learn how to ask for help. Christine also discovered that she needed to draw on her strengths, how to gather together everything into her “toolbox” and put them to work. With the use of her podcasting and her strengths and talents in singing, public speaking and social media, Christine collaborated with everyone that she needed, who could help her with her arsenal of tools to help her become… “The Marketing Mentress”!

She had a successful career of over twenty years in traditional sales and marketing.

Christine shares her roller-coaster ride of the past two years finding her niche in the

marketplace, how she built her team around her and how they have helped her on her road to “who she is meant to be”.

Are You Linked In Securely?

You got... see more Are you one of the thousands of people who are on LinkedIn but do not really know enough to get results from it? Here is your opportunity to change that.

You may have collected a great number of connections on LinkedIn... You may not even understand why, but you keep building it. You got yourself registered and barely got a simple profile half done, realized it is complicated or did not understand what to do with it. Perhaps you left with intentions to return another day. Well, I have discovered that many people never return. Then there are others who return to LinkedIn after a very long time. Is this you?

Were you like me? I felt I was expected to be there, after all, I was told that is where business people want to do business. I felt as if I was "dragged kicking and screaming" into LinkedIn. Not because I wanted to be, but because I thought I was expected to be. Sound familiar?

Over the past 4 years I have learned that it is not about being there, it is about what you do on there that truly counts. It is about knowing the key tricks to effectively use LinkedIn to make quality connections with the people I want to know and to do business with. Make sense?

Would you like to understand LinkedIn enough to actually get clients from it? ... and then to leverage them to get business from it? Most of my clients came through my connections on LinkedIn, and you can do that too.

If I could show you how to make this change and do it within a couple of hours together, would that bring value to you and your results?

It is also true that marketing yourself online is one thing, but to be aware of the challenges involved to do it safely and securely is yet another.

Soon I discovered that (once they admitted it) there are many people out there that shared the same feelings I did when I first tackled LinkedIn. As I attended networking meetings with them I noticed that many had grey hair. These same people found themselves in the same position as I did...Fired at Fifty. Whether that is you or not... would you like better results?

It is my desire to help all those people in some way to be able to learn how to use LinkedIn effectively and get clients or build better quality relationships.

Have you been "Fired at Fifty"? This workshop, limited to 15 people, will show you how to you market yourself and learn key tools you need to succeed as an entrepreneur. My book, "Fired at Fifty: Stop looking for work and discover what you were meant to do", is written to help those who have found themselves without work and without prospects of work. If this is you, it will help you find your strengths and be able to sell yourself effectively both online and offline.

This will be a profitable session like none-other that you have attended or experienced.
You will get the "KEYS" to making great and safe connections online, and specifically LinkedIn.

I am pleased to be facilitating the "Are You Linked In Securely?" Workshop along with George Greenwood. For this dynamic two-hour workshop, we have teamed up to provide you with useful information that will become the valuable tools that you need to get closer to the results you want.

You are welcome to bring your laptop, so you can implement the ideas during the workshop. Wi-Fi is provided by both the Fraser Valley Library and the Township of Langley.

Get your questions answered on the spot, while you build your own LinkedIn experience.

As the Queen of Relationship Marketing, Christine guides you through your workshop experience helping you to feel comfortable in being out of your comfort zone for just a short time. Then LinkedIn will be IN your comfort zone.

2. Upload your personal profile picture, so we know who you are and can greet you at our meetings.

Voila! Then you are no longer the "Newbie"!

They have figured out a way to provide us with a tool for building our networks, and it is up to us to make it work.
With all the different meet-ups that are happening, it is a challenge to attend everything, however, HOBN should be the "Core" of all our networking. I meet new people all the time who do not even know about HOBN. I didn't know about HOBN, before I joined. I happened on it purely by accident.
If we wait for people to accidentally find our network, how fast do we think it will grow.
The reason we want more people to attend and join our network is because we then have more people, who have their connections, who we have a potential of meeting.
Sometimes I think we get it backwards. Remember, networking at HOBN is not all about US. Networking is all about THEM. It is about finding ways we can help THEM. (Others) It is through helping THEM that we will help US.
In order to make it work, we need to invite, invite, invite...and then invite some more. We also need to attend, attend, attend...and attend some more.
We now have this great tab at the top right corner of this page where we can very simply invite people to attend the meetings with us. What I find works best in this process is to attend the meeting you have invited your guest to, as well, so you can give them support in meeting everyone at the meeting. It helps your guest to feel special, just to have you there.
Make it a point to attend at least one HOBN meeting a week.
I love HOBN and this wonderful platform that Howard and George have created. I'm sold...how about you?
Let's make this the best network in the World! I believe we can do it together...but it will take a TEAM effort.
Remember TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More

I am taking your lead and will become more proactive about inviting people. I often share about HOBN, but I don't invite - just noticed that. I run into people who don't like the rigour of BNI and the obligation of being there every week. Of course, that is misleading, because if you want networking to work for you, rigour (as in commitment and showing up) is required.

Was it you who told me? I guess it didn't register, because I was at the Buzz Cafe for an 8am meeting, when I heard all the noise upstairs and saw all the people lined up for their "coffee and calories". I asked someone (Maybe that was you!) in the line-up what was going on, and they said, "Oh, this is HOBN! Do you know what that is?" I said, "No, not really." (or something like that) Then this person invited me to come upstairs and sit in on the meeting. That was the day they had the website maven there showing everyone all about the new platform. Well, I was impressed, so I came back the next week. After that, I didn't wait for my 30 free trial to complete, I just went home and signed up.
Howard Olson was a guest on my show, and I had heard about HOBN when we spoke, and he offered me a free 30-day trial at that time, as well.
However, it wasn't until I was at an actual meeting that everything jelled.
See how important it is to invite people and arrange to meet them at the meeting!

One of the things I teach in my workshops and coaching sessions on LinkedIn is to ONLY invite people to connect with you if you know them. Now, you can build relationships on LinkedIn with people you meet there by connecting without being connected, so to speak, and once you have engaged in a discussion through one of the groups, you build rapoir, and can invite to connect at that time. In my training, I teach all about how to connect without being connected and how to connect without being IDK'd. (IDK means "I Don't Know" you.) All you need is 5 people to say they don't know you, and your account will be frozen.
If you go into your LinkedIn account and start inviting people to link up with you "willy-nilly", without knowing these people, the chances are very high that you will get your LinkedIn account frozen. Then you have to go through a long process to get it "Unfrozen". If it happens again, it becomes even more difficult to get your account unfrozen, and if it happens several times, you can lose your account all together.
I know this because I have had my account frozen once. I have since spoken with people on LinkedIn who have lost their accounts and had to start all over again, because they were being IDK'd.
It is my sincere desire to help my HOBN friends in any way I can.
For my master plan, attend my next workshops: June 27th and 28th; 7pm-10pm each evening; at Desjardins office Conference Room, 15050-54A Avenue, Surrey, Unit #4.
