Networking Skills Training Sessions
Networking works – but only if it’s used properly, including clear goals, skills and actions. Would you like your staff to develop their networking knowledge, skills and confidence so they can gain new opportunities for your business? Effective relationship-building leads to both personal development and on-going new business opportunities. But is that happening throughout your company?
Our networking skills training sessions cover the full networking process, including:
- Developing a simple networking strategy to match the company’s sales & marketing goals
- Choosing the right events to attend
- How to join groups, develop rapport and start to build relationships
- Key questions to ask – and topics to avoid!
- Building a short, sharp and memorable pitch
- Following up correctly after each event
- Blending offline and online networking to get the right mix
- Making relationships ongoing to develop new business opportunities
