Enjoy, and I’d love to hear your comments to cheftony@visionsbethesda.com

Love to hear any of your comments, and more importantly, please listen to the message.
If you are a small business owner, or a large corporation, you NEED TO UNDERSTAND SOCIAL MEDIA. There are no excuses, not “I just don’t get it”, not “I don’t have time”, nothing…you HAVE to do it, and get involved in the conversations that are happening!

Need help? We’ve got that coming..go to www.socialmountain.com and register. Our project goes live in July, we’ll walk you through the process…

Thanks for watching!

Tony

Opportunity for [LIVE] Event @ Visions http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/VisionsRestaurantRss/~3/-IyXJcDSBdU/ http://blog.visionsbethesda.com/2009/06/15/its-all-about-relationships-opportunity-for-live-event-visions/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:09:44 +0000 cheftony http://blog.visionsbethesda.com/?p=307 I hope the summer is bringing you all the fun you could hope for! Take a minute and see what we have coming up before you leave on your July vacation, to help boost your business moving forward…

We are all aware of the challenges moving ahead into the business environment in 2009 and what we’ll have to do to move out of the average, and into the group that profits and moves forward. Keeping your mindset right is 90% of the battle. How many “networking” events have you been to where nobody gets anything really DONE? Because nobody focuses on the relationship building aspect of networking, most of these events turn into Ninja business card handshakes, phony conversations and no REAL business being done?!

Please take time for a FREE SEMINAR built around the concept of Relationship Marketing and how powerful this concept is for your life and your business! Join Glenn Garnes as he teaches you values and skills that can turn around your idea of what connecting with those around you is all about. I highly suggest you attend this event, free refreshments will be provided and I promise, you’ll have a great time!

There are other Bethesda restaurants mentioned, but why not reward Visions, working so hard to make it happen in this “challenging” time??

If you have a second, hit up the article here and if you can prove you helped us out, I’ll buy you a glass of whatever you want! How’s that for putting your money where your mouth is? Just give me your user name, I’ll give it to my team of crack internet experts (probably me) and we’ll reward you!

Thanks for reading , hope you had a fantastic holiday!
