The All Star Weekend is over in Indianapolis.. Here’s what I thought of.. I’m in an industry where friendships & great connections overpower any cold DM. The know, like & trust factor is so important to establish when doing business like us here at Red Hawk. Many industries lack that genuine connection. I think this is why they struggle with keep clients onboard. It’s almost strictly transactional. Sometimes in a win-lose for some. Where the business wins, and the client loses. To what degree? That depends. During the weekend, I shook hands of people that I met from out of town, and others that live here in Indianapolis alongside me. The first thing I thought was, “Are they having a good time in our city?” Maybe not! LOL Indianapolis gets a bad rep sometimes for not being “as cool” as Miami for example! HAHA! Even so, building a connection on hospitality is key. We would almost call that the “value” of Indianapolis. Uniquely enough, at Red Hawk Technologies, LLC, we strive for creation of customer value. It’s a core tenet that I feel is beyond the transaction. It’s beyond the “just another company that does it.” How does all this tie into the Indianapolis All Star events? Well, Indianapolis does it well when it comes to big sport events! Like Indianapolis hosting events, Red Hawk hosts unique ideas for software development. Mid market companies benefit tremendously from the hurdles we help them overcome! There's also benefit in financial stability that having a team like this brings! For those of you who connect with me here on LinkedIn, let’s talk! While it doesn’t have to be about Red Hawk, we can guide you with our connections and friendships! If you were in Indy this weekend! Thanks for coming!

What are everyone’s favorite activities to help build your network? Recently, I hosted friends and future business partners for a ski trip in Utah, turning the slopes into a dynamic networking event. It was a powerful reminder that the best connections come from shared experiences, laughter, and the pursuit of common passions, not just business card exchanges. Networking isn't confined to formal settings. It's about doing what you love with those you find intriguing, transforming everyday moments into opportunities for meaningful connections. On that mountain, we didn't just share trails; we shared laughs, ideas, challenges, and visions for the future. Already looking forward to the next event Jacob Wagner Victor Corella Annia Quiroz Anna Eades!! Let's broaden our perspective on building relationships that not only drive our careers forward but also add value to our personal lives.

#TheyAskYouAnswer by Marcus Sheridan We The Business Culture HEY are often asked.... 'Can we come to one of your events before I decide to join'. The short answer is... 'No'. The reason: Which of the 8 different types of events we run would you like to attend before you make a decision to join us. Its like going to a new gym but only using the rowing machine - you then miss all the other equipment and benefits. We are not a traditional networking group that does the same thing week in/out. We run several different type of events. This then gives people options. Open Networking Speaker events Social events Masterclass events Sub-Group events VIP Private Dinning Round table support events Business Clinic drop-in sessions You are never going to make a decision about join us based on attending one event. https://lnkd.in/ewTwnSZD

IT'S SUPPORT MONTH 🎀 It's time to really focus on how you can gain further support from the members you network with... Not only that, but time to reflect and review if you are giving out support too. After all, you get what you put in. Some things for you to consider: 🎀 What specifically could the members and visitors support you with this month? 🎀 Have you spent time considering if your networking is supporting your bigger goals for the year - how can you communicate these goals to the group? 🎀 Are you reaching out and booking 121 to specifically talk about the support you are looking for? During this month's meetings, we have and will be spending time asking you to share these specific support requests and even buddying up with someone else so you can actively seek/give support to each other over the next month. This worked really well in Guildford this week and we will be doing this again at out Woking meeting, if you are not yet booked on, you can do that here >> https://lnkd.in/eP44emnh
