First Impressions...

[Josselyne Lugo]

Hello BP. 

I don't even know how to start and it might be because this is what my post is about..Introductions. I am in the process of starting a wholesaling business and next month will be my first time attending my local REI meeting. From my understanding, REI meetings are a good start to meet investors and build my buyers list. The problem I am having is I am not sure how to properly introduce myself to investors. Can anyone give me any suggestions for good introductions that will make a good first impression? I don't just want to introduce myself, I want to be able to build bussines relationships for the long run and give off that impression. So face to face introductions and also introductions through email. Can anyone give me suggestions tips or any advice on this? Also any experiences of your own and what seems to work for you. Or even bad experiences you've had with people leaving off a bad first impression with you and what made you feel that way. Thanks in advance.

Welcome and congrats on getting started. What does every investor want? More deals! If you present yourself as someone who can help with that you won't have a problem building relationships. Beyond that try to find common ground with whoever it is you're meeting. It's the first step in building rapport which is essential.
