About Us!
 
Behind The Moon is part of the "giving movement" sweeping across the nation.  Through our Referral Groups & Networking Events,
Behind The Moon literally redefines the way professionals grow their business.  We set ourselves apart with our motto "grow your business by helping others grow theirs."  Behind The Moon offers more than a dozen monthly networking events along Colorado's Front Range as well as referral groups that attract professionals who network to give rather than get.  When focusing on giving, I find professionals and businesses are lead to amazing opportunities.

TIP of the Month
The Law of Giving!
 

Understand that networking is about building relationships with others, helping them, and sharing your network of contacts. Do not give to receive, rather give for the sake of giving. Follow this philosophy and people will appreciate you and value you. As you "give" to others, the natural, residual consequence is that you will begin receiving gifts from others as well.

GREETINGS from the S. California Coast!
 
I hope this newsletter finds you well. I am in my home state of California, visiting with family and friends in Capistrano Beach and throughout Orange County.  I haven't been on an extended vacation in a year so this is long overdue.  My family and I made our annual visit to Disneyland and California Adventure, we've spent several days at San Clemente and Newport Beach, I got caught up on some reading, have enjoyed staying connected to the Behind The Moon community via my social networks, and I've relaxed and rested everywhere in between.
 
Yet after 13 days away, I'm ready to return and am excited to see everyone!  I hope this edition of our E-News finds you well and enjoying the summer sun.  I
look forward to seeing you soon on the networking circuit. Until then...
 
GROW YOUR BUSINESS BY HELPING OTHERS
GROW THEIRS!

"If you're not having fun, then you're doing it all wrong!!"  If you're spending your time in a career or a relationship that you don't LOVE or that doesn't fulfill you on every level imaginable, then I believe that you are engaged in the biggest time-waster of your life.  And here's the good news. These are things that you have control over.
 
Hi, my name is Christina Schulz, the self-proclaimed "Network Diva."  I've spent the better part of 20 years networking my way to success, both in corporate and entrepreneurial platforms.  I specialize in helping other forward-minded organizations, teams and individuals get more out of their chosen career paths and lives by showing them how to network their way to where they want to be. 
 
Bottom line, we all have people in our lives that we just love being around.  What is it about these individuals that attract us to them?

5-Minute Forum of Education
 
Answering "So What Do You Do For A Living?"
By Sabrina Risley 
 
One of the most popular questions asked of the professional at a networking event is "So, what do you do for a living?" or "What is your business?" Many can't wait for their opportunity to share their story, yet answering this question is often worrisome to professionals. How should you answer and where do you start? 
 
My studies have taught me that there are a few key factors to bear in mind before diving into your answer.  
 
Be confident
Just be yourself
Be clear and concise
Do not sell
Highlight the benefits.
Help them understand.
 
 
Bob Burg (co-author of Go-Givers Sell More) reminds us of the sales expression:  You can't say the wrong thing to the right person, and you can't say the right thing to the wrong person
 
So don't get too caught up in your answer or a specific outcome you want to achieve. Focus on the benefits, how you help others, be yourself, and keep it short and sweet. If the person you're speaking with isn't interested in your product/service, perhaps they know someone who is.
