So I was reading Travel Trade Magazine recently and came upon this article by Joanie Ogg. http://tinyurl.com/c4s5h4

It really gets to the point.  Joanie is more politically correct than I.  Joanie says “Now, more than ever, we need to stay connected to our peers and our business partners. It is not the time to shelter oneself away and simply wait for the phone to ring. We have to make it ring!”

I would say “What the heck are you doing just sitting there?  Get out there. Move around!  While networking with peers, you’ll find two types of people; the complainers and the movers & shakers.  If you find yourself in the midst of a group of complainers, move on.  I promise within ten yards you’ll likely find people that have some neat ideas.

On June 4-6, the Travel Trade Show featuring Cruise-a-thon is taking place in New York City.  Make sure you register and make sure you show up.  I know there are a hundred reasons to stay hold up in your office.  However, you really need to get to this show.  Get out and mingle, exchange ideas on how to drum up business and how to cut costs.  Register now - just click here: http://tinyurl.com/tripTTshow
Happy selling.
