Networking to Build Your Business

Making and Leveraging Contacts

Networking is more than just meeting people.  It’s about working a process that helps you make more worthwhile connections and it’s about leveraging those connections to build your business.  This program will review the networking process along with strategies for approaching strangers, making conversation and identifying opportunities.   Hear examples of what techniques have worked for others and come away with ideas you can use the next time you meet someone new.

“If I had to name the single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people I’ve met over a lifetime, I’d say it is the ability to create and nurture a network of contacts.”  Harvey Mackay, Author, Dig Your Well Before You’re Thirsty
