This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 4-26

Some the events I'm listing here are a little farther afield than usual, but they looked too interesting to let go unnoticed. Fairleigh Dickinson University, for example, is holding its 2009 Innovation Summit. Closer to home, the Mashable/Indy Hall mashup is bound to be the place to be this coming Friday, followed on Saturday by IgnitePhilly, which apparently will feature a presentation by the ever-popular Two Guys on Beer.

This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 4-19

Wow! The is an unbelievable amount of great stuff happening this week.

First, you have a whole week's worth of meetings for the Empowerment Group's Entrepreneurship Week. If you're thinking of striking out on your own, or even if you're not, this is a great time to start and a great series of meetings to attend. Other entrepreneurship events in the area:

Philly Startup Leaders is holding its first Entrepreneur Unplugged, where you get the down-low and nitty-gritty from a successful entrepreneur who tells you what really happened in those early years.

The University of Delaware is holding its President's Forum on Innovation, an examination of the role of innovation and entrepreneurship in promoting economic growth and development, how to cultivate it, and its implications for Delaware and the region.

If that weren't enough, we have our first VizThink get-together for Philadelphia, The Innovators Club is having a meeting about Netbooks, and there's a BarCamp on News Innovation.

The Wayne Presbyterian Church is also having Safiya Edwards talk about using LinkedIn, always a popular and useful topic. The church holds a weekly support session for people looking for work and looking to network.

Networking for Champions

I went to a great presentation this morning by Steve Bauer of The Referral Academy that highlighted the difference between networking and referrals. Networking is about meeting new people so that you can begin building trusted relationships. Referrals is about leveraging your trusted relationships to meet new people, presumably new people that will become what Steve calls your "best-fit clients".

Note that trust and fit are key factors in the success of referrals. Steve discussed how referral-based selling is a three-way relationship, with a Seller, a Buyer, and the Referrer. All three are volunteers, and the referral has to be a "win" for all three or it will go nowhere.

Steve mentioned that the Referral Academy has an upcoming course on "Networking for Champions" beginning May 21. A champion is someone who will not only refer you to a potential client (or employer) but will be a supporter before, during, and after the connection is made. I've talked about the importance of weak ties in networking, but this is a time when strong ties are essential. Steve can help you build stronger champions in your network.

Here is a brief course description:

“Networking for Champions” teaches students to identify, attract and cultivate champions that are in the best position to refer them into good-fit opportunities. This course will help them develop a personally tailored referral marketing plan that is more comfortable, more strategic, and which yields better results than using scripted referral tactics, joining affinity groups, or attending broad-based networking events.

The course will entail five 3-hour classes. Tuition is $2,500 per student.

Students: The course is designed for those who have the responsibility of developing new business. Typically the students are busy delivering their service and are not having enough of the right conversations with the right people in order to move their business forward in the manner they desire. They are in need of a strategic plan to develop better, more effective relationships and they want to put their prospecting time to best use.
