Hidden Gems of SE MI Networking
While many of us are warm, outgoing and high profile networkers, who are the people who may the hidden gems in your travels? These four come to mind for me:
• Aaron Biels of Ring Ring - If you take any volume of calls, having a toll free number as clever and memorable as your url is essential. Aaron is low key, but very professional. See what number is available before your competition snatches it.
• Dave Bilbrey of DBC Systems/The Sales Mechanic. The free trial of SAGE CRM is worth it alone ... but Dave is worldly wise and very astute on how to succeed using the life blood of your business - sales! Time spent with Dave is time well spent.
• Carol Lieberman-Rich of The Staubach Group - As serious a networker as she is sweet and wonderful. I've seen her pass four fold as many real referrals in a meeting as everyone else at the table. Add her husband Ed and you have one of this town's power couples.
• April Pochmara from The Rosh Group - Don't accuse me of playing favorites because of my friendship with Rosh. April is someone who has taken the Creative Rep responsibilities and built that business in to a solid media support organization by a warm and sincere style that makes her the one in the room you want to meet or wish you had!
Ok MCC ... tell me the people who you think are the Hidden Gems of SE Michigan Networking!

This is a tough topic to start! The Motor City is home to a slew of fantastic networkers. So let me look outside of MCC for a couple of hidden gems (because MCC members are gems that aren't hidden).
Pat & Doug Dalton - Two of the most genuine, top shelf people you'll meet. They own Dalton Commercial Cleaning, the carpet and air cleaning company that cleans most of the corporate headquarters in town.
Brian Hare - A CPA that goes far beyond keeping score. Brian loves looking under the hood of businesses and finding new ways to crank out more horsepower. He is a first class connector.
Michael Matthews - The grand poobah of employee benefit plans. Michael's rolodex is so deep, it's maintained by team of drivers from the Calypso.
That's just the tippie-top of the ice burg. Who's on you list?
