Default Have you heard of BlitzTime?
Hey all!

I just heard about a service called BlitzTime that provides networking events that you can attend via your phone. You can attend 2 events for free, but after that you have to pay (although, unfortunately, there are no rates listed on the website). I'm thinking about checking it out...but would love to hear thoughts from others who might have used this service. Anyone?

I tried the free offer of Blitz Time and attended one session which consisted of a teleseminar on a chosen topic and then the blitz networking (like speed dating).

The experience was interesting and I could see if one was to use the service could provide valuable networking if you are paired with individuals within your niche.

I don't think that at this point in my business development that I would spend the money on membership. I am currently using Social Media, Client Referrals and Business Contacts to build my business.

Hope that helps

Hi Tammi,
Thank you for bringing this service up, I actually heard about it earlier today in a video posted on YouTube.
Thanks also Cindy, what you are saying would also seem to apply to me right now, although I will still check the site out myself, out of interest.

Blitztime is an interesting new idea that allows you to network from anywhere since it is all done over the phone. The trial call I tried did result in a professional connection that we followed up on outside of Blitztime. It definitely has potential to be another way to connect with new people but you have no control over the type of business you will be connecting with.

Hi ladies,

Thanks for your responses! I think I may have to give it a shot, just to see if it will work for me. It's nice to hear that others have gotten results - like I said before, I don't know what the monthly rate is, but I'm sure even one new client would more than cover the fee. Am about to head over to look for a call that fits my schedule now. Thanks again!
