Goal of the Exchange Process • Help each Member professional to expand their business networks in order for you to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of how you tackle you job functions. • Provide Members with a dynamic and reliable resource to help you solve problems and find new implementable ideas

  3. Rules of Engagement • Do not use your HOLD button on your telephone – hearing elevator music in the next 60 minutes is not good! • No body language signs – please be aggressive and speak your mind and thoughts. • Please identify yourself with name and company before speaking. • Take Notes about who is saying what… • Warning: My goal is to facilitate aggressively so we can cover as many topics as possible. • Last but not least, I need your feedback on how to make this process better for you and the participants. • Keep in mind of Anti-trust laws.

Have LinkedIn accounts and some lead generation from LinkedIn. Reworking the website; Using the shot gun approach. • Mark H. Received Processor of the Year award which has brought recognition. The process opened up other conversations to use on all of the other social media sites. We drive as much traffic from Linkedin back to our website. We use it as an SEO strategy. Linkedin is a great data mining opportunities. Example was obtaining information about who works in a prospect you want to do business with. • Mike P. - Using LinkedIn as a primary source. Cold calling looking for transfer and overflow business. Using strategic partnerships. • Tom S. – HUBSPOT – pulls all social media together in order to plan and continually send messages.
