Deflategate is over for now and football is underway across the land. College teams played this past weekend, and the NFL kicks off on Thursday night, with the Defending Champion Patriots raising their Championship Banner at Gillette Stadium, prior to the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Excitement and money both surround NFL football and now its time for all the talk to stop and the play to begin. Time for Number 5 Tom!

5 Ways to Leverage Greater Boston Referral Networking

GBRN1.jpg

Greater Boston Referral Networking continues to grow quickly, as our Meetup group closes in on 400 members. So how do we as members and followers of the group cash in or leverage GBRN? Here's 5 ways you can start to turn network meetings into business opportunities....

1. Attend the Events - can't stress this one enough. Just being a member on a group list won't get you anywhere. Attend all the events and get active in the group. All Events are Free in September.

2. Become a Connector - meet and get to know all the members and facilitate introductions of new members who can potentially help each other.

3. Invite Others to Attend Our Events - especially those that are in your sphere, so there's natural collaboration. Remember, invited guests attend our events for free. All Events are Free in September.


4. Share Referrals - Ask everyone you meet, what they need for home life and business to get better, and actively listen. If someone in GBRN offers a product or service they need, refer the GBRN member to them. It's simple!

5. Buy Products and Services from GBRN Members - a thriving group will buy and sell to each other frequently, and offer testimonials on their experience with these members. Help each other out and use member services when you can.

Video Tips For You

Focus is a very important factor in good video. Try to zoom your camera all the way in on the subject you are video recording, and focus, then pull out and frame your shot. This is called back focus, so that everything between you and the subject are in focus.

Doing videos yourself and need some help? Why not try our video consulting calls. HBSU can get on the phone or skype with you, and guide you through the process of creating great videos on your own!

  • "Hi Michael,
    Just wanted to reach out and thank you for videoing our daughter's wedding in VT last Saturday!
    And thank you for being so unstoppable when your car broke down!
    We hope you were able to get to your next wedding and also resolve your car issues with the same unstoppability!
    Thanks again for persevering and making the wedding video possible!!"

  • "I am extremely pleased with the videography work of Michael Connell at HBSU.  I contacted him just a few days before performing in a live symphonic concert at Boston's Wilbur Theater, hoping to find someone to film the show.  He was very quick to respond and not only captured excellent HD footage from multiple angles, but also took care of recording audio directly into the live mixing board - something I hadn't even thought of!  He was a professional in every sense of the word, and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again."
    Best, Jillian

  • Thank you for all  your help here in DS the week of January 12!  You have gone above & beyond to help make the event a great one!  It was chaotic, and you helped us keep it under control.  Thanks for everything, Scott & Marie

  • I was initially overwhelmed with the project of scheduling and shooting videos of 16 of our doctors and providers. But working with Mike was extremely easy--his flexibility and low-key professionalism made the entire project come together easily over 4 separate shooting days. He put the subjects at ease which allowed them to talk easily about their passion for medicine. I am happy to have found such a great resource for future video projects.

  • Easy set up and cordination. The quality of the video was excellent and the finished product was handed over in a short turn around! Would use his expertise again and would definitely recommend his services.
