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

What they are saying about Greg Peters and The Reluctant Networker

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.

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

I brought Greg Peters, The Reluctant Networker, in to speak to the June 2013 meeting of the Southeastern Michigan chapter of the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP). As the President of our Chapter, I recognized that our members, while highly skilled in their areas of expertise, definitely were not comfortable making simple conversation and connections with those around them. While most of us don’t need to seek out clients, the lack of these networking skills definitely made ou… Read more

Greg Peters, The Reluctant Networker, makes networking approachable and fun. We hired him to present a program to our students at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Networking skills is essential to the success of our students in the job market. Many networking experts focus on developing relationships as a means of growing a business — a tact which wouldn’t mean much to our students. Greg, however, took the time to customize the presentation to focus specifically on situat… Read more

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

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
