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
