BE CONNECTED™ to Effective Networking
A Guided Networking Experience
Wednesday, May 19, 2010
The Networking Workshop for People That HATE to Network!
You know you need to network. You have to build relationships to find your next opportunity, or to build your business, or to land new prospects and clients. You need partners and alliances, resources to strengthen your ability to meet your goals.
But you’re just not networking, or at least you’re not doing it as much or as well as you need to be. Maybe you don’t know how, or maybe the thought of doing it makes you uncomfortable. Maybe you just don’t know what to say.
BE CONNECTED To Effective Networking resolves all of the uncertainty and all of the questions with a fun, stimulating and eye-opening event. Combining a highly interactive skill-building training presentation with networking practice, BE CONNECTED shows you how to:
- Bump your networking skills up to the next level of effectiveness and productivity
- Forge valuable new professional relationships
- Generate high-value leads and referrals on the spot
- Discover how to network with ANYONE – ANYWHERE
BE CONNECTED instantly gives you the ability to forge new connections and professional relationships, even if you’re introverted, shy, or just not interested in networking.
“Transformational…That’s the only way I can describe it.”
-- Stephanie Menning, VP, Midwest Energy Association
"Pete & Dean's energy and the interactive exercises created a sort of 'instant community' among those who attended. Never again will I pass up the opportunity to connect with people well and give them access to me and the depth of what I have to bring to a conversation or interaction."
--Patricia N., College of St. Catherine
