How to Make Networking Actually Work to Gain More Clients Spring 2019

How to Make Networking Actually Work to Gain More Clients :  

When we are meeting people for the first time in a networking situation, these are high stakes conversations that can make or break the relationship. It’s critical to have tools to be able to turn to, so that each of these interactions is more successful. The end result can be a long-term relationship with a great referral source, or better yet, a client!

 

Because they are high-sakes conversations, we often find ourselves being fake, or trying to be more of an extrovert when we’re really not. In this highly interactive workshop, you will learn networking strategies that you can tailor for yourself to bring out the best in you, while at the same time helping you to really connect with others and make an impact.  Learn how to be strategic with your time and efforts and learn how to influence others so that each connection “bears fruit.”

 

Learning Objectives:

1)     Prioritize contacts to make every meeting matter

2)     Manage your time effectively before, during and after meetings

3)     Build meaningful connections and build your network

4)     Learn the 10 approaches to influencing others

5)     Improve communication skills
