“Ho-Ho-Holiday Networking Time” by Betsy

‘Tis the time to fill your calendar with good cheer–

Holidays are the best networking time of the year!

Your inbox is filled with holiday receptions,

You must go to all–there are no exceptions.

 

So remember, On Donner, On Dasher and Vixen,

Your New Business coffers will surge from holiday mixin’

You’ll look back with joy, but perhaps need Mylanta ®,

Still no one would blame you, not even Santa.

 

Say Yes to every opportunity, don’t want to be rude.

You simply must go–even if tired, or not in the mood.

If you’re not on the guest list, find out when is the bash,

At holiday time, it’s okay to crash.

 

Take hundreds of business cards stuffed in your pockets,

Knock the holiday lights out of their sockets–

Make new friends galore, impress with your charm,

Your personality, your brilliance, your clever jokes will disarm.

 

Lock in your January new clients with glee

and remember these words as you sip egg nog for free…

Hallelujah for business parties –never you fear–

You’re just workin’ the room toward a profitable New Year!
