A Day in the Life of Enoch Print Management Specialist John McKay

Friday, March 1st, 2013

Last week, we told you about Performance Plus, A Print Management Service from Enoch Office Equipment. Through Performance Plus, Enoch provides a one-stop-shop for all of your printing and device needs allowing for one point of contact for every device in house, all while saving you, the customer, money.

 

This week, Enoch’s Print Management Specialist, John McKay, spent the day networking with former Salesman of the Year Rick Donovan. It was Rick who once famously said, “At Enoch, it’s networking morning, noon, and night.” Well, on Friday, March 01, 2013, it was networking morning and noon, at least.

 

John traveled with Rick to his Friday Pikesville Breakfast BNI Platinum Networking Group, which meets every Friday at Springhouse Assisted Living in Pikesville from 7:30-9:00 am, and the Sales Promotion Association of Baltimore, which meets at noon at the Country Club of Maryland.

 

Last year, the Friday Pikesville Breakfast BNI Platinum Networking Group generated more than $1,500,000 in referrals between its 27 members. Meanwhile, the Sales Promotion Association of Baltimore, which was founded in 1940, is among the oldest continually operating sales promotion associations in the United States.

 

During each networking event, John was given a few minutes to go over what Print Management is and the ways it helps companies, both large and small.

The Power of Networking: BNI Networking Group sees $1.5 Mil in Referrals

Friday, January 4th, 2013

If we have told you once, we have told you a thousand times: Joe Enoch, Rick Donovan, and the rest of the employees at Enoch Office Equipment believe in networking. As Rick once said, “at Enoch, it’s networking morning, noon, and night.” But what’s the big deal? What makes networking so great?

 

Networking, when done right, can be a powerful business tool. And if you don’t believe us, just take a look at the numbers reported by Rick’s Friday Pikesville Breakfast BNI Platinum Networking Group, which meets every Friday at the Springhouse in Pikesville from 7:30-9:00 am. In July, we reported that this networking group, of which Rick is the president, had already generated $1,001,393 in referrals. Well 2012 is over and the final figures are in.

 

In 2012, the Friday Pikesville Breakfast BNI Platinum Networking Group generated more than $1,500,000 in referrals between its 27 members.

 

“That’s a lot for just a little networking group,” said Rick. “We have an unwritten rule: referrals must be warm because just throwing out a name doesn’t help anybody.”

 

After all, that is what networking is all about, helping one another generate business. And no one benefits from a cold lead…NOBODY!

 

Interested in joining the Friday Pikesville Breakfast BNI Platinum Networking Group?


“We are always looking for members,” said Rick. “Commercial Realtor, Property Manager, Moving Company, Payroll Service, Electrical contractor and Commercial Janitorial Service are a few of the categories we are looking to fill.”

Rick Donovan’s Networking Tips: Networking Morning, Noon, and Night!

Friday, November 30th, 2012

As a third generation, locally owned family company, we at Enoch Office Equipment have learned a thing or two over the years. And as a family business, we pass this way of doing business down from generation to generation. And one of the most important things we have learned, as 2011 sales representative of the year Rick Donovan is about to explain, is that networking, when done right, can be a powerful business tool.

 

Enoch Office Equipment President Joe Enoch, Rick, and the entire Enoch team strongly believe in networking!

 

As Rick once said, at Enoch “it’s networking morning, noon, and night.”

 

Rick Donovan’s Networking Tips

 

  1. Build Trust: Be genuine and authentic, always building trust. Always ask how you can help your fellow networkers. After all, networking is about building relationships. You are there for them, not yourself…
  2. Be Prepared: Preparation is key. Think about the people you might be meeting and check Google and LinkedIn to gather additional background information. Also start thinking about some open ended questions you might use.
  3. Show you Care: Remember your fellow networkers’ names and what they do.
  4. Don’t be all Business: Start a conversation on a light note and try to find common ground. You want the conversation to feel relaxed and casual.
  5. Give Referrals to get Referrals: Be sure to give good referrals and if possible contact the referrals to inform them of person contacting them.
  6. Have a Clear Message: Have a clear message of what your company does and what differentiates you from everybody else.
  7. Your Actions have Consequences: When given referrals quickly follow through. Remember your actions reflect on the person who gave you the referral.

 

There are several reasons that have allowed Enoch able to evolve along with our industry, from the typewriter of the 1960′s and 70′s to the fax of the 1980′s to the digital color output devices and document management systems of today. And one of these reasons is networking!

Enoch Networking Groups: Koffee Talk

Friday, August 10th, 2012

 

Enoch Office Equipment  President Joe Enoch, 2011 sales representative of the year Rick Donovan, and the entire Enoch team strongly believe in networking!

 

“It’s networking morning, noon, and night,” said Donovan.

 

Because of this strong belief in networking, it is no surprise to learn that several Enoch employees attend numerous networking events throughout Timonium, Maryland and its surrounding areas. In fact, Enoch recently had the privilege of hosting a Koffee Talk Breakfast Meeting, bringing together marketing and sales professionals and suppliers in a professional, comfortable and non-competitive atmosphere.

 

The event was a lot of fun and included a great presentation from guest speaker Sharon Nevins (pictured below), the Vice President of Marketing at the Maryland Athletic Club, who spoke about the importance of social media in today’s business community.

 

 

These breakfast meetings are held at a new location on the first Wednesday of every month.

 

What is Koffee Talk?

 

Established in 2002 by “Lovey” Suzanne St.Pellicer-Stofko, Koffee Talk is a business to business (B2B) resource group focused on developing enduring relationships within the community of marketing and sales representatives, providing a unique platform for members to connect with like-minded professionals in the Baltimore/Washington area to:

 

  • Network
  • Exchange ideas
  • Increase their circle of influence
  • Generate and extend referrals
  • Advance their careers

 

Koffee Talk has taken the intimate experience of two people sharing a cup of coffee and created an organization focused on doing business the old fashioned way; face to face, with a handshake and forming a relationship.

Enoch Spends the Day with Brian Billick

Friday, April 20th, 2012

On the morning of Wednesday, April 18th, several Enoch Office Equipment executives and members of the senior sales staff attended the Accelerent Breakfast hosted by Howard Bank. This great networking event not only connected hundred of Baltimore’s key business leaders, but it also featured a dynamic guest speaker – Super Bowl-winning NFL head coach Brian Billick.

 



 

Later that evening, following the Accelerent Breakfast, Enoch employees attended the Enoch Office/WNST networking affair at the Tilted Kilt in White Marsh. And guess who was there? Brian Billick!

 

 

Enoch employees – including Sherrie Jones (pictured above with Brian Billick and his Super Bowl ring) – rubbed elbows with the Baltimore Ravens’ former head coach. Then, from 7pm-8pm, Coach Billick joined the WNST crew, hosting a pre-draft radio show.
