			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is truly a great group of people that make up the SMPS Connecticut chapter. I greatly enjoyed connecting with them this past Wednesday morning as I spoke on the topic of &#8220;Building a Culture of Rainmakers.&#8221; It seems that every time I meet new people at the regional SMPS chapters I am amazed at the caliber of people that make up this incredible organization.</p>
<p>SMPS CT, thank you to the numerous follow-up e-mails that I received after the meeting this past Wednesday, I was humbled by your kind words. Special thanks to <strong>Wayne Cobleigh </strong>of <a href="http://www.gza.com/">GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc.</a>who originally contacted me after my presentation at SMPS Build Business this year and who spearheaded the event. I hope to have the opportunity to speak with all of you again in the future.<br />

<p><em>&#8220;Thank you so much for bringing &#8220;Building a Culture of Rainmakers&#8221; to Hartford, and thank you too to William H. Gordon Associates, Inc. for sharing you with us. It was a great program and you are an engaging presenter. The response has been wonderful. By generously sharing your valuable step-by-step approach, you are extending the value of the program and giving marketers a great tool for training within their own companies. I highly recommend that other SMPS&#8217; invite you to present to their chapters.&#8221;<br />

<p><em>&#8220;I was so impressed with the clarity of your ideas that I had already gone to cofebuz and started downloading!  &#8230; You are an extraordinary person!  The myth of &#8220;networking is for extroverts&#8221; was the best.  &#8230;  your rules and tips were far better than some of the material I&#8217;ve read and seminars I&#8217;ve attended.  It is my job to coach my team into building relationships, and your material will be the basis of my new training program over the next month.&#8221;<br />

<p><em>&#8220;Thanks for the follow up and the assets Tim. We just had a Friday pizza/&#8221;Building a Culture of Rainmakers&#8221; lunch where I did my best impersonation of you with the aid of the presentation (I got it at cofebuz) for our staff of six. We&#8217;re a brand design consultancy in the Hartford area and your presentation was my first event with SMPS CT. I was taken with the folks at my table, the presentation and the SMPS board members. I felt quite welcome. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I believe you&#8217;ve achieve your goal with me &#8212; you&#8217;ve helped&#8230;&#8221;<br />

<p><em>&#8220;Your presentation was really great.  I am very excited to look through your links and materials and share with my colleagues.  Thanks so much!&#8221;<br />
