Casey Eberhart (Speaker and Host):

Hey, hey, hey everybody. Welcome to today's episode of the Expand the Business podcast. My name... My name? My name is is Casey Eberhart, I am calling in from Los Angeles, California today, with a short-form episode, just a little quick tip, a little thing to help you save time and make more money when you are out networking. And we're going to talk about the 99 cent tool that you probably have in your purse or your junk drawer, that'll help you do the two things that we aim to teach and train on the Expand the Business show, which is save time and/or make more money. So if you are in a position where you need and/or your businesses is being built on referrals, then head on over to ExpandTheBusiness.com, we've got a free download for you over there on getting more referrals. We've got some goodies for you over there, but just happy to have you jump on the show today. And again, you can head over to ExpandTheBusiness.com for your free goodies. So look, let me set the scene for you for just a moment. You get in your car, you put your makeup on, you drive to a networking event, and those networking events are either super early in the morning, maybe you're going to them at lunch, maybe you're going to them in the evening, and it's a Chamber of Commerce event or BNI, LeTip team, Referral Network, eWomen network. Maybe it's even Kiwanis or Lions Club, maybe it's your local chamber. Maybe it's just a networking group where you get together with a group of people and have referral exchanges.

How many times have you got some business cards and you bring them home from that event, and then they go in the trashcan or they sit on your desk for five or six months and then they go on the trashcan. Well, here's the thing, at Expand the Business, we really try to give you the tools and techniques that allow you to cement relationships and move forward with those people that you feel are going to be the best in your connection and best in your network. So here is the 99 cent tool that you should carry with you every single time you go to a networking event. It is a Sharpie. Now, there is a very specific reason why I am suggesting a Sharpie and not just a regular ballpoint or a pencil. Here's the deal, so many people now are carrying glossy business cards to a networking event. And what happens is if you write on a business card with a pencil or a ballpoint pen, very few of those glossy cards are gonna allow you to actually make an imprint on the business card itself. So all you gotta do is go to your local store, your purse, your junk drawer, maybe it's in the seat cushions of your couch, maybe it is in the seat cushions of your car, grab a Sha
