Are You Tired of Getting No Results from Your Network?

We all know that networking -- or word-of-mouth -- is one of the best ways to grow a business. But what if you don't know where to start?

We can help.

When our clients come to us they are often experiencing many of the symptoms of networking reluctance. They:

  • Panic about attending networking events.
  • Hate to "sell" themselves.
  • Drop the ball on following up after an event.
  • Feel like networking is a waste of time.

With a little bit of coaching and a few tools, our clients tell us that they've not only been able to achieve the goals they set for their networking practice, but they also feel better about being a networker.

If you want to be more effective with your networking right now, start by requesting your free 52 Connection Tips program at 52ConnectionTips.com

I had the good fortune of attending one of Greg’s networking seminars as part of the Michigan Shifting Gears program. Whenever I attend such seminars, I hope to have at least one “golden nugget” takeaway. Regarding business networking, Greg’s highly enlightening and engaging session allowed me walk away with a wheelbarrow full of golden nuggets. His common sense suggestions can be easily implemented. I strongly recommend Greg’s effectively interactive training style.

I originally heard Greg Peters of The Reluctant Networker speak at LA2M, a local event, and immediately knew I wanted to have him present to my Search Marketing Practicum students at Eastern Michigan University. Networking is an important component of my Search Marketing Practicum class. My students are hard working, smart, and accomplished in the classroom, but they have had only limited experience as business networkers. They felt overwhelmed by trying to put themselves forward at a network… Read more

One of the prime benefits provided by the Waterford Area Chamber of Commerce is the opportunity to network with fellow members but it doesn’t always come natural for everyone. Especially younger professionals new to the networking arena! Understanding how to network, building confidence and proven techniques is critical for business growth. At a recommendation from one of our members, we contacted Greg Peters, the “Reluctant Networker” to speak at one of our lunch and learn gatherings. Wow… Read more

Professional networking is an art, and it is clear that Greg Peters studies and practices it with great passion. Because of his expertise in current trends, in addition to traditional methods, his instruction is valuable for both reluctant networkers (as the company name suggests) and seasoned schmoozing veterans. We presented him with a formidable time disadvantage, as we only had 40 minutes to work together on our first session. Nonetheless, Greg did an excellent job assessing our group’s ne… Read more

I have attended a number of Greg’s networking workshops. It has been a mantra in all the job seeker groups I’ve attended that we need to network more, but no one there really tells you how. Greg really clarifies and demystifies the process and provides guidelines of good etiquette that will help me build a mutually beneficial community in which we all help each other move forward.

Shifting Gears is a program which helps professionals to transition into new employment opportunities. One of the big challenges our participants face is a lack of skill and confidence in networking, some to the point of actual panic. We are tremendously grateful to Greg for coming in to share his networking expertise with several of our cohorts. His approach is very skills oriented and particle. He teaches how to prepare for events, how to behave while there, and tools for proper follow-up. Our… Read more

I had the privilege of attending one of Greg’s sessions at one of our Association events. His professionalism shined from the instant I met him. However his talent extends much further, and was exemplified in his keynote speech regarding networking. Greg made a topic that often seems boring, dry, and overdone very exciting, personal and interactive. Our group was laughing, conversing and building relationships just minutes into the presentation. Many participants stayed after the meeting netwo… Read more

Greg’s presentation at the Central Michigan Purchasing Conference in November provided great insights for attendees. Not only were there tips for professional networking, Greg also demonstrated the same tips can be used at home at well. Greg’s presentation was a great way to kick-off the conference that eased tensions associated with a large group of professionals who do not know each other! On top of a great presentation, Greg also provides on-going support and useful information to help re… Read more
