WHAT AM I BRINGING TO THE TABLE?
Teaching people the value of networking , making power play connections , where to network , importance of follow up and strategy’s for effective networking.
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH:
Approaching people
Not knowing what to say
Not knowing where to find people
Not being prepared
Finding contacts to grow your business
Maintaining Relationships
Why? Because even high up CEOs like to eat, get coffee on the way to work and more just like you. They are still people.
What is the worst thing that can happen? The person you find can say “no” or perhaps give you their contact information and say “Not now” for you to come back by requesting their name and phone number to follow up. Remember, “not now” is not the same as “no”.
He or she may be having a bad day or a bad moment, even simply busy or over booked with meetings. NO means next opportunity.
