A morning talking Networking with the Buford Business Alliance and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker

Networking That Actually Converts: Body Language, Trust, and the Follow-Up System That Gets ResponsesMichael explains that while most people understand the sales cycle and their product, many are not taught how to network properly, and argues that follow-up is more important than the initial meeting. The episode covers the purpose of networking (to build business and make money), the idea that people like to buy but hate being sold to, and practical in-person networking techniques such as smiling, eye contact, politeness to everyone from janitor to CEO, confident posture, clear enunciation, active listening with a pause, and avoiding distracting phone use. It outlines how to approach groups at networking events by listening first, contributing thoughtfully, then shifting focus to others using the FORM framework (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Message) to find common ground and build trust—emphasizing the mantra: know you, like you, trust you, do business with you. The speaker contrasts extroverts and introverts, recommending introverts bring a “wingman” to help with introductions until they gain confidence. The core system is a structured follow-up process: send an initial thank-you message that evening, mail a handwritten thank-you note the next morning, wait three days, then email again with reminders of where they met and what they discussed, aiming for multiple touches (noting it often takes 8–15 touches). Additional follow-up ideas include connecting on social platforms, providing value through relevant articles before asking for coffee, tracking contacts in a CRM with consistent outreach, and avoiding spammy mass emails in favor of personalized messages. The speaker also discusses post-pandemic networking as more relational than transactional, limiting the number of business cards collected to ensure proper follow-up, practicing continuously, and using AI as a tool (not a replacement) alongside content like articles, podcasts, and courses to stay visible. The episode closes by stating that lack of results is usually a communication problem—how someone sells and presents themselves—and reiterates the importance of handwritten thank-you notes.00:00 Why Networking (and Follow-Up) Beats the Traditional Sales Cycle01:11 The Real Goal of Networking: Solve Problems and Create Value03:18 People Love to Buy, Hate to Be Sold To (Sales Approach Shift)04:10 First Impressions That Win: Smile, Eye Contact, and Respect Everyone06:43 Confidence & Body Language: Posture, Hands, and Clear Enunciation09:44 How to Work a Networking Table: Listen First, Then Join In11:33 The FORM Method + Servant’s Heart: Get Them Talking13:31 Build Trust Fast: Find Common Ground in Events and 1-on-1 Meetings16:13 Introvert vs Extrovert Strategies: Bring a Wingman and Practice18:04 The Follow-Up System: Email + Handwritten Thank-You Notes + Touches23:02 Scale Your Network Online: LinkedIn, R

Networking Unleashed: An Interview with Calvin Schwartz and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker

Calvin [email protected] share a brief Bio.Meet Calvin Barry Schwartz: 6'5" tall, and impossible to miss, literally, which is why sneaking into a scene in Meryl Streep's movie, "One True Thing," was such an achievement. This Jersey guy has nine lives and receipts to prove it: survived a VW rolling over five times at 65 mph (walked away without a scratch), got mysteriously healed of a devastating knee injury walking out of a church in Nazareth (four witnesses), and once lost 100 pounds in 2½ months like he was possessed. After selling eyeglasses for a billionaire for 25 years, this Newark ex-pharmacist watched "Casablanca" for the 54th time and thought, "I could write something like that." So, he did. Twice. His second novel, "There's a Tortoise in My Hair: A Journey to Spirit," earned the Kirkus Star and comparisons to Philip Roth, Kurt Vonnegut, and John Irving, transforming a midlife crisis into a deeply personal and darkly humorous meditation on meaning, mortality, and the mysterious forces that guide us through our darkest moments. Not bad for a guy who started his teaching career at Rutgers at 74, when most people are perfecting their golf game. Speaking of Rutgers, Calvin is on the Advisory Committee of the Women’s Health Institute at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. These days, Calvin practices what he preaches: flexitarian since 1975, zero coronary artery plaque, LDL cholesterol at 45, and sharper than ever. He's conducted seven paranormal investigations (ghosts, orbs, the works), turned down Steven Spielberg twice (still regretting it), almost tried out for the Chicago Bulls in 1976, and hosts a global podcast with 700+ interviews/videos. He recently wrote to Pope Leo XIV about his "inexplicable spirituality" because why not? If anyone could understand it, this Pope could. Calvin's third book is "Ten Things I Learned from the Billionaire." Spoiler: longevity techniques work. He's living proof.What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?Networking leading to positive life changes; career changeS Longevity.

Networking Unleashed: An Interview with Andi Shaughnessy / Danielle Carter and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker

Andi Shaughnessy / Danielle [email protected] share a brief Bio.In 2011, our father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. At the time, Danielle was a full-time mom, raising three kids while helping with the business when she could, and Andi was building a career in sports television. As our father’s health declined in the spring of 2012, we faced a life-changing decision—whether to take on ExpressIt, the company he had built. When he passed that summer, the business entered a period of uncertainty, and we made the choice to step in. At that point, ExpressIt was operating with just 13 drivers, two operations managers, and a handful of accounts across Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Despite having no prior business experience, we leaned on what we knew: hard work, resilience, and a people-first approach. Fast forward to today, ExpressIt has grown into a thriving operation with over 200 drivers and a 14-person management team, servicing customers throughout the Northeast. Our journey has been anything but traditional, but it has reinforced what we believe at our core: success is built on trust, strong relationships, and always delivering on our promises.What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?Personal Growth Tactical Instagram: @expressitdelivery; @unlikelybossesMichael is a business networking expert specializing in enhancing professionals' networking and communication skills to drive profitability.

For the past five years, she has focused on helping busy leaders escape work overload by building self-sufficient, high-trust teams. She does this through a mix of team and leadership coaching, organizational consulting, assessments, and an AI-powered coach she developed.What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?A strong team is a connected team — especially in times of pressure: The best-performing teams don’t operate in a bubble. They’re connected — to other teams, to clients, to key partners. In this topic, we talk about why external collaboration isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s a business advantage. Leaders can play a key role in helping teams build those bridges. Great leaders aren’t just well connected — they build networks around their teams: When only the leader has the contacts, the team stays dependent. But when a leader acts as a connector, everyone grows. This conversation explores how leaders can open doors for their teams — introducing them to people, opportunities, and insights that increase trust, motivation, and business impact.What are 2-3 things you would like to gain as a result of being on this podcast?Share my knowledge and tools with a wider audience and promote my book CLICKING.Any website you wish to share with the audience?https://dariarudnik.com/Any social media links you wish to share with the audience?https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariarudnikhttps://www.youtube.com/@dariarudnikcoachingMichael is a business networking expert specializing in enhancing professionals' networking and communication skills to drive profitability.
