Event description
Over the years I have found that a large percentage of business is found through networking! Needless to say, effective networking is vital to your continued business success. Rarely does business just “fall into our laps.” Instead, successful business partnerships are created when we target potential customers, establish communication and cultivate long term relationships.
This workshop concentrates on how you can excel at the skill identified as the top reason for entrepreneurial success. Understand the importance of networking; why to network and how you network like a pro. Learn how easy it can be when you understand why networking is important, what you should be trying to achieve and how you can be a skilled and sparkling conversationalist. You will learn how to carry on a conversation with people you’ve never met with ease. Understand and refine those all-important listening skills, eliminating the road blocks to good listening. Finally we will concentrate on what to do before, during and after the networking event.
Attendees can expect to...
The take home result of this workshop will be the ability to professionally network any event you attend and build the relationships that positively impact your bottom line.
Top reasons you should attend...
Learn effective listening skills and the techniques to become a sparkling conversationalist. How to prepare before a networking event. What to do at the event and what to do after the event.
The speaker will share...
Skill building techniques, handouts and a PowerPoint presentation.

Carola point your event out. (She says hi). Grabbed the calendar and was saddened to see that you did not invent an 8th day of the week where I could squeeze it in. I am sure you will provide perfect people pleasing ideas and tips at the -The Art of Effective Networking - Powerful Professional Networking for Small Business-. It will be a perfect compliment to your book at http://www.ideal-companies.com.

Aug 08, 2012 John! Loved your presentation. It was a nice shot in the arm. All of those things I know I should be doing and wasn't. Can't wait for your workshop.
BTW..."I am a ball of FIRE!" as well. I think I was telling myself that all afternoon. Then it started again this morning. I can't stop myself.

Aug 08, 2012 Anna, Your notes just blew me away! What a super talent you have. What app do you use on your iPad for this work? We need to sit down over coffee and get to know each other!

Aug 08, 2012 John, I used SketchBookPro and coffee sounds like a good idea.

Posted by Bob Boulware, Seattle, Washington |Aug 09, 2012 John, very well done and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I left inspired. One issue that there wasn't quite an opportunity to comment on is: along side your useful insights re: initiating & executing a conversation while networking is how best to proactively and respectfully conclude/close a conversation, particularly there's a need to move on due to time and/or lack of strong compatibility. Looking forward to gaining more real world practice at that, but I'm sure you'd lend good insight to that common occurrence. Thank you for your insightful and thorough talk, time well spent!
