How to generate a Memorable Leave Behind or Handout for Your Networking

I am assuming that you Are networking somewhere! You had best be - it is the best way to meet new habitancy and build those relationships that turn into repeat sales and referrals. Now the question is - What do you bring, pass out or display when you network?

Obviously, you are going to bring a lot of company cards. What else can you pass out that will be memorable or beneficial for the habitancy you meet? Most of you know about my Free Networking Calendar (if you do not, go to the Resources page on my Web site and check it out) and I assume you use it to schedule your networking each month. This is a great example of a creative and beneficial tool. I hand this calendar out to the new habitancy that I meet. It catches their attention and entices them to sign up for my email newsletters so that they can receive it every month. It is a marketing tool that works for me.

What can you develop, create, write or found that is creative, useful, and something that habitancy (meaning your target market, not just anyone) will want? This item should also be easy for you to print, buy, and/or reproduce at a low cost.

This does not mean, for example, that if you are a mortgage consultant or realtor, that you should found a list of homes that have sold in the area last month or a sheet with today's rates on it. That is no fun and habitancy for real will not care about that. Instead, it means to create something that is truly unique.

The following are some examples that you could tweak for your business.

1. A checklist of things habitancy need to know in regards to your product or service.

2. The top 5 -10 mistakes habitancy make in their ____________ (fill in the blank).

3. The top 3 things to do in your ___________ (fill in the blank) to make more (money, save time, etc.).

4. A list of resources that pertain to your company somewhat, but that are beneficial to help others save time or money.

5. A extra description on _____________ (fill in the blank) whatever 'hot buttons' your target shop has about your product and/or service).

6. ____________ (fill in the blank) Guide or Worksheet

7. A list of questions to get habitancy reasoning (before they buy a sure product or assistance for example).

8. A Cd recording of yourself providing tips or free advice.

I also distribute little books to put your company cards in (mine are red and black with my Web site and logo on the front of the owner to match my brand). I have found that habitancy love these. I also try to give them to 'newbie' networkers since they do not hold that many cards. More established networkers need much larger books.

Consider talking to a promotional products company. Brainstorm with them to agree something that is creative (other than pens, paper, magnets, and calendars) that you can distribute. Be sure that it is something habitancy will want to hold on to, keep handy or pass on. Take some time development your selection. If you do not, you will just end up ordering the same old pens - Boring!
