Many people in sales and other types of business use networking to help build and grow their client base. Whether networking on a daily basis or once a month, this aspect of your business can help you expand and grow your current clientele. To get the most out of your networking and help reach your goals, there are some tips you can follow when it comes to networking.

1. Determine who can help you expand your business. Before you can use networking to grow your business, you need to determine who you think can help you. Make a list of individuals and companies who you would like to pursue, whether or not you have a current or existing relationship.

2. Reach out to these contacts regularly. Keep in touch with them on a regular basis and see what you can do for them rather than always asking for something yourself.

3. Give back to your contacts. Find out what the interests of your contacts are and make sure to ask and always keep these interests part of your conversations. If you read an article, meet another contact or become aware of an event you think they would enjoy or benefit from, reach out to them about it.

4. Contact them through social media. Reach out to your contacts through social media and stay connected to what is going in their careers. Congratulate them on achievements and keep a dialog through the social media site.

5. Make time for updates. Periodically update and maintain your contact list to reflect any changes. Perhaps some of your contacts have retired or changed direction in which you don’t gain as much from each other anymore.

6. Show appreciation. On occasion, take the time to send your appreciation and thanks. This can be done through a handwritten note, fruit basket or other form of recognition.

The latest installment in the collaboration between DC Entertainment and RIDES Magazine has come to life with the next super hero to join the team.  Wonder Woman has joined the line up of the super hero Justice League inspired Kia’s, masquerading as the Kia Sportage.  Wonder woman joins forces with the Optima Hybrid Superman, Optima Batman, Rio Hatch Aquaman, Forte Hatch Cyborg, Forte Koup Flash and the Soul Green Lantern.

The latest edition of Wonder Woman was built for charity to raise awareness for DC Entertainment’s “We Can Be Heroes” campaign.  This campaign effort is meant to help fight and relieve hunger in the Horn of Africa.  The Kia Sportage Wonder Woman made its debut at the New York International Auto Show, which takes place March 29 through April 7, 2013.

The Wonder Woman Kia Sportage is painted in red and blue with silver star accents, to resemble the super hero’s outfit.  Gold trim also rims the vehicle to represent the gold Lasso of Truth that Wonder Woman’s also dons.  The tiger nose grille of the Wonder Woman Sportage also features an eagle emblem, the same as the chest plate Wonder Woman also sports.  To complete the outfit, you will find Wonder Woman’s tiara as a sticker on the top of the windshield.  The headlights emit a blue beam, which match the color of Wonder Woman’s eyes, and chrome side panels symbolize her invisible jet.  The wheels of Wonder Woman’s Kia Sportage also resemble the silver star accents.  The interior of the super hero Sportage features red upholstery accented with blue LED lighting and Wonder Woman’s logo graces the custom seats.  And the cargo area has stars and an eagle decorating its interior.

This isn’t the last of these vehicles, however.  There is one more edition to the super hero themed Kia’s, a consolidation of all the previous super hero models.  For more information on the Wonder Woman Kia Sportage, visit wot.motortrend.com.  And if there are any similar modifications you would like to make to your Kia Sportage, visit your local New Jersey dealer, Sansone Jr’s 66 Automall, and stop into 66 MVP.  We can modify your Kia Sportage to suit your favorite super hero today!

Get The Salt Out Of Your Floor Mats New Jersey!

With snow and rain and ice, comes the use of salt to melt these gifts of winter storms.  And of course trudging through all of this salt, slush and snow, you pick up a lot of it on the bottoms of your boots and shoes, which then transfer to the places you walk, stand and sit.  One particular spot where you may be seeing the reminder of this salt is on the floor mats of your Nissan or Kia. If you are tired of seeing the remains of winter on your floor mats, there is an easy and inexpensive way to say goodbye to the salt stains of winter.

First, you will need the following items:

  • A bucket or spray bottle
  • Distilled white vinegar
  • Hot water
  • A scrub brush with hard bristles
  • A shop or auto vacuum

Next, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare a 1:1 solution of the distilled white vinegar and hot water and place in your bucket or spray bottle.
  2. Spray or pour this solution onto the affected areas of your floor mats.  You can also use this solution on your automobile’s carpet if salt stains have found their way under your mats.
  3. Let the solution soak into the area.
  4. Scrub the area you have wet with the scrub brush.
  5. Use paper towels, a sponge or a clean cloth to soak up any remaining solution.  Repeat steps 2-4 as needed for more difficult areas.
  6. This portion is optional, but you can now use a shop vacuum, preferably a wet/dry one, to remove any left over salt that was loosened in the cleaning process.
  7. Once you have finished, hang your floor mats to dry.  You can also roll your windows down to let the car air out, but only if your vehicle is inside a garage or under an overhang.

For more information about removing the salt stains from your floor mats, visit cars.com.  You can also visit your local new and used New Jersey auto dealer, Sansone Jr’s 66 Automall.  Our parts and service department would be happy to help you with any stubborn salt stains that may remain.  After all, aren’t you ready for Spring New Jersey?

Increase Your Productivity New Jersey!

Many of us wish that we had more hours in the day. Sometimes it seems impossible to get everything done on your list with the amount of time you are allotted. Time management can take you a long way however, in crossing everything off your list. You may have also heard it referred to as productivity management or environmental control, but whatever you want to call it, there are three areas of your life you can tweak to increase your productivity.

1.Your Calendar. Are you constantly overbooked with appointments? Do you forget conference calls that you were supposed to be on? Are you constantly running from one meeting to another, and always showing up late no matter how hard you try? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then your calendar is definitely in need of some re-arranging. If you don’t, then you will constantly be stuck in the same predicaments.
2.Your Commitments. Have you ever sat down and listed all the commitments that you have agreed to with others? Also, think about some of the casual commitments you add on a daily basis. If you find yourself unable to deliver on all the commitments that you have agreed to, then you will be unable to grow professionally and as a leader.
3.Your Communications. Does it seem as though your email inbox never goes down? Perhaps it even grows and you find that you can’t keep up. Do you have stacks of papers on your desk that need your attention? Does it feel as though you have reports and presentations every day? With all this pressure, your ability to lead and effectively run your business is compromised.

If you could use help effectively managing your time and productivity, perhaps the EZ Referral Network can help you. Get in touch with other business leaders in your area and learn their secrets to staying ahead of the game. For more information on productivity problems, visit inc.com.

Your Car Can Look Like It Stepped Out Of A Magazine New Jersey!

It seems the same with all professional pictures that we see.  Whether you are looking at homes, boats, yards or cars, the pictures always seem to make these objects appear so perfect, clean and appealing.  Anyone can snap a picture, but getting it to look good and somewhat professional, will take a bit of work.  Nissan has some tips from the professionals if you want to get the best shot possible of your car, and freeze it in history.  So, if you don’t want to have to rely on photoshop after you’ve taken a picture of your car, follow these tips to get the most out of your photos.

  1. Rise and shine.  The best light for photography is one hour before sunrise and one hour before sunset; this is called “sweet light.”  Getting the best shot may require some early mornings, but it will make the photos of your car that much better.
  2. Get dirty.  Be sure to wear kneepads and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.  Some of the best photos of cars are taken at low angles where you will have to get on your hands and knees or low to the ground.
  3. Keep it clean.  This may seem to be a no brainer, but the cleaner your car is the better it will look.  Bring some cleaning equipment with you so you can make any last minute touchups.
  4. Don’t be gray.  Avoid taking pictures of your car with gray skies as a backdrop.  Unless your photo is going to black and white, the gray skies will put a damper on your photo and your mood.

Whether you are a car enthusiast or you want to have a keepsake of your first car, these car photography tips will help any vehicle look its best for its big photo shoot.  For more information on getting the best pictures of your car, visit autoblog.com.  And if you are looking for that special car to shoot, visit your local new and used New Jersey Nissan dealer, Sansone Jr’s 66 Automall.

Clean Up The Family Car New Jersey! Part 1 of 2

With the New Year, comes the need to clean things out and organize. One of the areas of your life that may need some attention is the family car. If it’s anything like mine was when my kids were little, you probably have books, drinks, toys, blankets, jackets and food remnants strewn all over. Not only will cleaning out your family car possibly fulfill one of your New Year’s resolutions, it will also give you peace of mind and some added safety. Try the following to get your car clean:

1. Practice the 6-month rule. You may have heard this rule before when it comes to cleaning out your closets, but if you haven’t used it in 6-months, ditch it. Although some items you carry around in your car, such as ice scrapers or sand toys may not be something you want to throw away, you don’t need to be carrying these around when you are not using them. Store them in the garage until the season comes back around.
2. Throw away all trash. Get a big plastic trash bag and throw away all those wrappers, cans and plastic bottles, pieces of paper you don’t need anymore and anything else that is cluttering up your vehicle. Not only will it look better, it will probably smell better too!
3. Remove all jackets, toys and electronics. It doesn’t take long for the items your kids tote around with them, to pile up in the backseat. Clean out all of these items and anything that is not standard equipment for your vehicle, and make it a rule that everyone has to bring it their items each day. This will not only help to see the floor, but you won’t have the hazard of something sliding around under foot or flying through the air when suddenly braking.
4. Take down any items hanging from the rearview mirror. Any items you have hanging from your rearview mirror are a distraction and can pose as a hazard. So take down any air fresheners, necklaces or other mementoes you may have hanging there.
5. Check bins and storage areas also. Don’t forget to check all those hidden bins and cubbies in your vehicle as they may hold some hidden gems too. Throw away any trash and of course get rid of anything you haven’t used in the last six months.

What Do You Keep In Your Glove Box New Jersey?

The glove box of your vehicle can hold many items from important papers to CD’s. It is also a great spot to throw things that you’re just not sure where you should put. Don’t let your glove box become littered with unnecessary items however, when you can use it as an easy access to important and crucial items. Be prepared when you are driving by storing the following items in your glove box:

License and registration: Keep any important papers you may need while on the road such as proof of insurance, automotive registration and a copy of your driver’s license in your glove box. You can keep them in a plastic bag or clipped together.

ICE Card: AAA recommends that you keep an ICE card or In Case of Emergency card with important information about yourself and your passengers. Your card should list emergency contacts, doctors and any medications currently used or allergies for yourself and your passengers.

Slim down your owner’s manual: Many vehicle manuals take up a lot of room in the glove box. If your owner’s manual is a combination pack with other materials, take out just the main manual and store the other information elsewhere.

Tire pressure gauge: A tire gauge is an essential item to keep in your glove box, unless your vehicle has a built in sensor.

Flashlight: If you ever need to do anything in and around your car in the dark, a flashlight will come in handy. There are several small models that emit a great deal of light.

Fuses: A box of fuses will take up little room in your glove box but be a big help if your car’s taillights or power windows go out.

Wheel-lock key: If your tires have wheel locks, you have to have this to change a flat tire. This will also help to keep your tires on your car and avoid someone stealing them.

First-aid kit: You can keep a small pouch or container with some basic first aid items including band-aids, tissues or cotton balls and pain releivers. You can also store your ICE card here.

Phone charger: Cell phones can run out of battery when we least expect it. Keep a charger in your glove box so you can charge yours if it dies.

A map: Although with technology today it seems as if a paper maps are obsolete, it is a wise idea to keep a back up paper map in case technology fails you.
