Networking Tips

  • Always remember the 3 E's: Make an Effort, Bring Energy, Exude Enthusiasm. Smile when introducing yourself and say your name with energy.
  • Make use of the nametags. Use the information on them as conversation starters. Always place the nametag on your right side. People read left to right and when extending your hand for a handshake, the nametag is then directly in the line of sight.

Case Study - Action Pest Control

Challenge: Action Pest Control did not have a web presence and felt that a website would enhance and increase their business.

Solution: We developed a design that focused on the three major pests they control with high quality photos, text-rich information and rollover photos on the home page.

Results: Action Pest Control is pleased with the look and functionality of the website.
