David M. de Leeuw, Publisher of The Chamber Link, will be presenting a seminar on Mixing 101: Mixing at Business Networking Events on Tuesday, September 23 from 10am-12pm at the Lafayette Library and Learning Center.

Does the thought of entering a busy roomful of strangers cause you to feel fear? Is it your goal to meet these new people, to increase your pipeline of business prospects? Are you unsure about how to efficiently sift through the crowd to find your prospects? Do you want better guidance than another elevator speech lecture?
* Unearth the reasons many do not go to business mixers, and then - overcome them.
* Learn a before-mixing checklist that will prepare you and help you feel at ease.
* Gain new and effective mixing skills and strategies.
* Grasp techniques to maximize your follow-up with your newfound prospects.
* Your workshop presenter is David M. de Leeuw, Publisher of The Chamber Link
* David brings 34 years of sales and sales management success to his workshop, "Mixing 101."
* He built his success on networking, especially at mixers held by local Chambers of Commerce. By fine-tuning a system of mixing and follow up, David's business thrived.
