- Why Attend Exceptional Connections^® LIVE and VIRTUAL Networking Events?
  
  At Exceptional Connections we believe that everyone should be seen, heard and witnessed:
  
  – At Live events attendees will offer a 45 second Spotlight Commercial in front of the room.
  
  How to prepare for our LIVE events:
  
  – Be ready to offer your 45-second Spotlight Commercial. Share your name – your business category – Your ideal referral partner…end with your name – your quick connect statement
  
  A Quick Connect Statement is: 5-10 words describing what you offer. ie. I’m Cyndi Dady, I help Businesses Attract & Keep Customers.
  
  Here is an example: Hello! – My name is Cyndi ONeill-Dady, I’m a Relationship Marketing Strategist for the past 16 years, now offering Mailbox Power – My ideal referral partners are savvy business owners who know the power of thanking, acknowledging and appreciating their customers… – I’m Cyndi Dady, I help Businesses Attract & Keep Customers.
  We offer our Spotlight Vendors added visibility of 90-seconds to show & tell what your business has to offer, plus the added bonus of sharing 1 screenshot to promote your business and products.

One of the greatest compliments we can receive at Exceptional Connections® is when a guest or Spotlight Speaker leaves inspired—not only by the connections they made, but by the culture they experienced.
