When you give a presentation to a networking group, what makes you stand out from the next person? Not only is it giving unique and well prepared information, but takeaways can have a lasting result.

You are correct about the chocolate, Brian. When I can find them, and it’s getting more difficult, I buy the foil covered chocolates that are shaped like lips. Since I’m the mouth in word-of-mouth advertising I give them to potential customers when I do sales presentations. It helps them remember me and what I do.
