A note from Bonnie Ross-Parker...

"I'm thrilled that Karen and I are offering participants in our respective organizations the opportunity to be in print, have their 'story' published, your picture and bio featured as well as to share in the excitement of this project! I am a contributing writer to one of the 42 Rule series: 42 Rules for Driving Success with Books and I can tell you, seeing one's story and picture/bio in print is definitely cool. Think about connections you've made in your life - one that had a large impact on you - and consider the 'story' behind the connection that made it 'effective', 'memorable' or 'lasting'. We're looking for content and emotion - a story idea that will impact our readers. I'm going to contribute Rule #1 - Make Every Connection Count (because you never know!) Get in touch w/Karen with your specific idea. She will share all details on how to prepare and submit your story. We anticipate a huge response and 40 selections will be decided based on clarity, uniqueneness, sincerity and impact. Karen and I will each have a rule - so we have 40 opportunities! Want one? Think about the story/lesson and share a one liner with Karen. See you in print late Spring. Be excited! You'll get to brag about appearing as a contributing writer! (2 pages - 800 words + Picture/Bio) Don't wait. Don't hesitate. Do it! Bonnie Ross-Parker/CEO/Founder of The Joy of Connecting."

My rule: Always follow up. Following up is the key to keeping those connections alive.

A Rule or Two...

Always be prepared to speak about your passion but do not limit yourself to that. Once you have developed a brief connection, customize your presentation to mesh with that potential client's needs if possible. This is enabling the person to recognize/think of how genuine you are to their needs and they are able to see on the spot that you have their best interest at hand...

Always hand out two business cards... for a potential client and referral

This is just a briefing of what could be an awesome connection rule... Goodnight ladies!

My rule about effective connecting is to don't be afraid to be transparent. To make a positive connection, you have to be willing to allow your story - your experiences, whether positive or negative, to influence someone else in a manner that can only be done if you are willing to uncover what has brought you to where you are. Then, and only then, will you be an inspiration for someone else.
