Ethics in the Film and TV Business." & "Networking and Marketing
This month's meeting was held at Access Pinellas studios in Clearwater. People signed in, had a bite and networked.
Networking and food . . . who could ask for anything more.. Except a great program.
Barry Bienstock, MPFI's president, welcomed everyone to the meeting and introduced the first of two speakers.
Stan Kozma's program was "Ethics in the Film and TV Business." Stan claims to have “absolutely no credentials, academic or professional in ethics, therefore, I am as qualified as anyone else to discuss the topic.” And he was. 
Stan's presentation used humor and role-playing to give the audience examples of ethical questions that could arise in our business. Our group then worked out the answers with a little help.
It was more than fun – it was quite informational. Stan presented more than a few questions to think about.
Jim Marshall, President of Sandler Sales Institute of Tampa Bay, presented the program "Networking and Marketing." Both topics were covered well.

Jim gave us more than a few great tips to maximize our networking efforts and how to turn time spent marketing into a more effective way to generate business. 

He asked tough questions of how the audience marketed themselves. Then took the answers and showed us several ways to improve that marketing effort.

Jim had the audience talk with one another without using I, me, us, we... It was hard and really made you think about how you interacted with others.
