presentation: “Creating Customer Satisfaction to Retain Customers”

10 Minute "Power Mingle"
By networking, you expand your base of people who can provide you with services you need, people who might be your next customers or even a new business partner. NetWorks! is a monthly event that combines an informative speaker with structured networking and alternates between breakfast and lunch, with time allotted for full audience introductions and the popular “Power Mingle.” Tom Denk, NetWorks! Committee Chair, invented the 10 Minute Power Mingle. At the start of NetWorks! every attendee gives a 10 word introduction to the entire audience. While introductions are fresh in everyone’s mind, the group has 10 minutes to approach the people that most intrigued them. We call it a “Power Mingle" because these minutes are for one purpose – to move quick, meet people and exchange information and contacts. With a room of 75 to 150 people, networking is easy for even the quietest people to mingle.
