Hello everyone,
Last year while I was just starting out my business, I researched and scouted around for any opportunity to network. Being an entrepreneur, of course I wanted to make sure I attended all of the free events. The SHARP UpSwing event had the best of both worlds…networking, expo tables, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails for sale…. and it was free to attend.
If there are any start-ups/entrepreneurs out there, I highly recommend attending. It was a great event to get you into “networking” without any pressure to join a group or do anything more than just “schmooz” and enjoy the evening.
I usually don’t promote events, but this is a good one and thought everyone in the group should be aware of it. The next SHARP Upswing event (5x/year btw) is next Wed at 5:00-7:30 at the Metropolitan Ballroom. I recommend showing up just to do a walk through and see who you meet, you never know unless you go. Make sure to bring plenty of business cards as the other folks with booths may also need your business!
I will be doing a booth this time around by the back bar with the Pink Call That Girl t-shirt on. There are tables still available if you’re interested in doing a booth.
Please see the website www.sharpupswing.com for more information.
Hope to see you there and come by and say hi if you show up!
Lisa

Many of my clients are just that…owners of home based businesses. Are you taking full advantage of the technical needs to help your work day be much more at ease? Do you have an IT person to rely on for your technical questions?
Yes, even as a home based business, you do need to have an IT budget. You do use a computer and will have technical needs at some point. IT support is essential to keeping your business running smoothly.
Call That Girl offers a bit more “assistance” to the home based business owners than just technical support. I can also assist you with technical gadgets…
Do you have a smartphone? (Treo or Blackberry)
Do you have a business contact manager program? (Outlook?)
Are you Linkedin? (www.linkedin.com)
Do you use email marketing? (Icontact or constant contact)
How many databases do you use for keeping track of your clients and contacts?
Now you may ask…why would I need a smartphone? Do you travel to clients homes and need address/contacts/email with you on the go? Did you know you can download the map to a clients house and view it on your smartphone? I use those tools everyday when I have a home visit. It’s great to know that I have the info as close as my phone and do not need to boot up my laptop or constantly print all the information out.
Call That Girl today for a free phone consultation and let me help you get more out of your business tools today!
