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.
