			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our members share your positive approach to fast business growth.</p>
<p><span id="more-20"></span></p>
<p>How many &#8220;events&#8221; have you attended during the past year, where you felt you we&#8217;re among people that really shared your interest &#8211; and urgency &#8211; to build your business?  Likely, you answer is &#8220;not many&#8221;.</p>
<p>This is because so many networking events, chamber functions, association activities, Meetup gatherings and so on&#8230;lack &#8220;purposefulness&#8221;!  People are socializing &#8211; they are talking about &#8220;doing lunch&#8221; &#8211; and they&#8217;re promising to get back to you.  And often times there is a Presenter&#8230;who talks about experiences that have no bearing or insights for your business requirements.</p>
<p>This is where a network of self-selected individuals &#8211; all interested in growing revenues and cash flow and focusing on business development- makes all the difference.  And the fact that they are also paying to help underwrite the cost of managing the group&#8217;s activities&#8230;means that they&#8217;re as committed as you are!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Specific tactics we will be covering in Key #1 include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Identifying target markets</li>
<li>Selling more products and services to your past &amp; current customers</li>
<li>Raising your prices and packaging your offerings</li>
<li>Learning how to execute &#8220;product launches&#8221;</li>
</ul>

<p>No longer is web-based video a complicated, expensive and time-consuming proposition.  There are literally 100,000&#8242;s of videos available on the Internet&#8230;through such sites as YouTube, Vimeo and Amazon.</p>
<p>&#8220;Video Bursts&#8221; refers to the concept that effective videos today are NOT lengthy, boring narratives that meander from topic to topic.  There are likely to be focused on a single theme or concept, have a length of 5 minutes or less &#8211; and are &#8220;self-produced&#8221;.  And many of these videos include a &#8220;call to action&#8221; that involves making a purchase &#8211; or establishing a connection.</p>
<p>The Team Leaders of Biz Dev Network are all committed to learning about the latest techniques of deploying video.  These activities include: webinars, website videos, managed webfomercials, video production and editing and much more.  Much of the insights gained&#8230;are shared during the weekly Coaching Calls.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Specific tactics we will be covering in Key #1 include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Producing your videos</li>
<li>Videos using PowerPoint and voice-overs</li>
<li>Website videos and eMail videos</li>
<li>Hosting videos at YouTube, Amazon and elsewhere</li>
<li>Editing videos using YouTube and Sony Vegas</li>
</ul>
