Strangers

If your like me I LOVE Starbucks. This is a perfect place to meet people.

Take your business on the road! Get in line, (and if you make this a habit; you may meet new people) get your cup of joe, and find a spot to do your  morning business on your laptop. Free Wi-Fi in most coffee shops. If it is not posted, just go to the counter and ask for the internet password.

How about if you walk your kids to school? Eventually your face will become familiar with other parents. A great way to engage in conversation.

How many of you grocery shop? I would venture to guess just about everyone. Go to the same grocery store each and every time, to get yourself noticed as a regular. Then when they say "Hey your back! How are you today?", you reel them in with some type of conversation pertaining to your business.

Some of you may take your kids to the park. Take some time and observe where the other parents are. Especially if your child has made a friend, find the parent, and make a point to engage in conversation.

It's the weekend, and your friends are having a BBQ. But your reluctant to go, because you have so much work to do. Not only is this a GOOD idea to go, but another "in", on finding new leads for your business. 1) you can relax among friends and have fun, but 2) you have an opportunity to meet someone new.
