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.
