Get More Business with Networking - Guest Speaker Talk Show Host Mike Bratwaite

“Casual/social networking simply does not work. Try BNI instead. BNI serious business networking, with more than 100,000 members in 44 countries. We meet early and often to grow our business and make money...an average of $25,000/year per member.”

Please join the Manhattan Business Network weekly meeting on Tuesday, 4/12 @ 7:00 am for the acclaimed radio talk show host Michael Brathwaite.

Michael Brathwaite is the host of the daily radio show “Money Talk” which airs in New York on FM radio 93.5 at 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday. He discusses the economy, interest rates, oil, the stock market, politics, elections, and more. It’s a great way to reach out to his clientele, and attract new clients. Because after the show wraps, Braithwaite works as a financial advisor with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.

Brathwaite’s positive perspective has also given him a deeper understanding of the hidden value inherent in the current down economy. “Very senior people don’t feel set in their occupation, location, or business. Most people are just battling with their prior success – trying to match themselves, their own prior level of success in 2007 as a minimum standard,” he says. And the change and the need to re-establish themselves provides opportunity. Why would a CEO want to meet you, he asks. And the answer is that you may have something to give them today, tomorrow, or two years from now when their business is back on track. The first step is getting to know someone and really understanding someone’s needs. Ultimately, says Brathwaite, “a referral is social capital.”

To attend, please RSVP to the Meetup Group - Manhattan Business Network.
