A lot of small business owners and sales people start to 'take their foot of the gas' during the summer months, and continue to do so during the fall. This can be fatal your business. Remember the story of the grasshopper and the ant?

The grasshopper wanted to play all summer while the ant worked everyday gathering food and supplies so that he would be prepared for the winter months. Long story short, the grasshopper froze and starved to death while the ant and his family prospered.

So, do you want to be the grasshopper or the ant?

The reason I'm here on FastPitchNetworking is to help others by introducing them to my network so that they can grow their business, and to share some of my networking and follow-up strategies and tools that help get the job done.

I'm such a huge believer and practitioner of sending people hand-written greeting cards (for business and personal reasons), people started calling me 'Ty the Card Guy'.

Got to tell you, folks, I'm pretty darn good at training people in relationship building, how to network, team building, and using certain tools to help them achieve success.

Also, I'm looking to get together face-to-face with people in the NYC metro area.

I organize and promote networking events and workshops in NYC that specifically target home-based entrepreneurs, commission-only sales agents, self-employed professionals, marketing directors and sales managers for companies with up to 5 employees.

I also have business associates in Newark, Charlotte, and Atlanta whom I work with to coordinate face-to-face networking events and educational workshops.

Stay tuned as I'm looking to release my first book on effective networking and follow-up strategies spring 2009. I welcome any and all advice and support.

Special thanks to Dr. Ivan Misner (founder of BNI), and Tom ('Big Al') Schreiter. Their teachings have changed my life.
