“Nothing Good Happens After 12am!” ever heard that? Watch This!
What you are about to see takes place Wed night after a phenomenal Wealth Building Annex event where our Governors Dinner ended after 11pm. It was back to work for me and I am writing this at 4:50am and still going. But I’ve got to share this with you!!!!
I feel very fortunate to have a very timely buiness selling Bank REO properties with a system that is easy to automate and for which “monkeys” could be trained to execute. Unfortunately, in the early stages of our business, Denny Santana and myself (Steven Klein) don’t have the capital to pay for “monkeys” , so WE are the “Monkeys” and WE EXPERIENCED SOME CRAZY STUFF putting out “bandit” signs from 12am to 3:15am.
Check it out! I am putting up parts I and II from Wed night/ early Thursday morning and will put parts III and IV on Sat with a great serendipity video for you on tomorrow!
The videos are a little dark even with a flashlight because we are out “in field” starting at 12 midnight. Good stuff!
Here is part I as we begin our adventure:
And here is Part II: Attack of the Pit Bull and the Crazy Hispanic who had a fight with our Sign!!!
Parts III and IV on Sat and you will Love # III! It’s one of the funniest “in field” videos I’ve seen, much less, been a part of! so Tune in!
Pinging!!!!
Pinging means briefly contacting with someone in your contact database. As you gather a lot of contacts, it’s good to occassionally reach out to everyone, but certainly to those who are centers of influence and good people.
A lot of customer relationship databases (like Outlook, Act, Salesforce, etc..) can be programmed to notify you to reach out and contact people and even send out an email automatically!
I keep a running list of people that I’d like to contact and I carry a printed copy that I take with me every day. That way, while I’m driving, in line, or doing any thoughtless task that doesn’t require my complete attention, I can call someone, text them, or email them and PING!
I highly recommend everyone get a “cardscan” machine to scan business cards into your “crm” so you don’t have to type them in manually.
I’d also suggest that you look over your database monthly to see who you should add to the list to PING!
Please add your own suggestions or comments to this post, and as always, ADD VALUE!
Thanks,
Steven Klein “SuperKonnector”

www.monstermixers.com Networking Tips
Correction on yesterday’s blog entry: Carrie said “If you sell, You Smell!” – Very appropriate for today’s posting about networking tips.
Big event tonight at the Venue at 5:30pm in Clearwater as www.monstermixers.com kicks off it’s first event! Here are some fun networking tips borrowed from one of my favorite movies, “Wedding Crashers”. Who would have thought that some of their rules are actually very good suggestions!
They are great tips, but don’t practice all of these crashers’ rules. Here are the good ones in reverse order:
Rule #86 – Shoes say a lot about the man.
Rule #82 – Always think ahead but always stay in the moment. Reconcile this paradox and you’ll not only get the girl, you might also get peace of mind.
Rule #80 – Stop, look, listen. At weddings. In life. Applies to networking events also!
Rule #73 – No excuses. Party like a champion. Make this one “Play” like a champion!
Rule #72 – Studies have shown that women have a more developed sense of smell. Breath mints – small cost, big yield.
Rule #66 – Smile! You’re having the time of your life.
Rule #60 – No “chicken dancing” – no exceptions.
Rule #37 – At the reception, one hard drink or two beers max. A drunk crasher is a sloppy crasher.
DON’T GET DRUNK AND WASTED!!!!! YOU ARE MEETING BUSINESS PEOPLE! Have fun, but don’t go off
the deep end!
Rule #29 – Always be a team player. Everyone needs a little help now and again.
Rule #18 – You love animals and children.
Rule #6 – Do not sit in the corner and sulk. It draws attention in a negative way. Draw attention to yourself, but on your own terms.
Rule #7 – Blend in by standing out.
Rule #8 – Be the life of the party.
Wow! Look at how many wedding crashing rules apply to networking! There are a lot more that apply, but they also include some verbage that wouldn’t be appropriate to list for networking.
As always, have fun and ADD VALUE! Make notes about the people you meet who can help you or who you can help. And make notes about anyone extraordinary. You never know when that contact could be useful to you or others in your center of influence!

Insight on “Konnecting” at Business Networking Events
Yesterday I attended the Free Networking International “Boom! Your Business Expo and Networking Extravaganza!” – the brainchild of David Doerges. The event ran from 10:30am to 8:30pm, so imagine how sparse the venue could look even with over 1,000 people coming and going throughout an entire day!
Some would think there wouldn’t be a great opportunity to network upon seeing less than 100 people any given time, but WATCH THE VIDEO for the real deal!
There were 10 TOP NOTCH Presenters whose expertise was relevant to ANYONE! These presenters included my good friends Chris Krimitsos, Bruce Anderson, and Kathy Perry along with Certified Speaking Professional Sheryl Nicholson, Shawna Vercher who did the Web marketing for the Obama campaign, and Jolie Gonzalez who knows how to market to the hispanic community as well as anyone.
In addition, there were 3 sessions with 5 expert panelists (SuperKonnector was 1!) for 3 important business skill sets. Some of the panelists included Carrie Byrd, Joe Malinowski, Michael Lauer, the fantasitic Linda Burhans, my boy Bob Brumm, Linda Olson, and Jim Cheatham. There was even a business expo area.
PS – Think of someone you’ve met in the last couple of days and someone you can introduce them to who can help them achieve their goals!
PS II – Remember to Add Value! Carrie Byrd made a comment on the panel we were on together that “Sellin’ is Sellin’ “, so don’t try to jump off the boat and try to shove the worm in the fish’s mouth!
Get there 15 min early!
When you attend networking events, arrive 15 min early! Watch the video to hear and see why!
PS! Go out there today and consciously raise people’s self-esteem. With every interaction, you have the power to help lower or raise everyone’s self-esteem. Have a great day!

Reminder, always take your digital camera with you to capture videos. I missed 3 great opportuities this week for great videos, because I didn’t have my camera with me!
PS! You’re NEVERÂ too old to learn new stuff!
Create the Habit! and make sure I do too! What, no video today?
Steven Klein here. Well, it’s April 24th and I still have not created the habit of blogging every day. To get visitors to your site and make sure they keep coming to your site, you’ve got to have consistent content (kind of talking to myself there!).
I recently “googled” Steven Klein and I didn’t show up until the 41st page! There is a very famous photographer named Steven Klein and some dude with an LSAT course who dominate my name.
Well, given what I know about blogging and social networking, I’m going to be my own case study now and see how quickly I can move up to the 1st or 2nd page.
I’ll use my blog, facebook, twitter, and linked in to a lesser degree and see what happens.
My main focus is selling the best priced wholesale properties in Tampa – visit www.etampadeals.com and putting a couple of big deals together with my SuperKonnector business, but I’ve got create the habit of blogging and using the social networking sites daily!
And I would suggest carrying your digital camera around with you to capture short video clips for your blog also. That’s right; No video today. And I could have had some great footage if I’d had my camera with me when I put out signs for www.etampadeals.com this week!
Create the Habit and let me know how it goes. If you don’t see a daily blog from me, get on me!
Thanks, Steven Klein
