Networking for Competitive Advantage

 

This is a half-day practical workshop where you will learn 10 critical networking and sales skills as well as how to overcome networking roadblocks.

Background:

Everyone talks about being a better networker in their own business or career but we never learned the “how to” in school or university. Many of us think we are good networkers if we arrive at a function, such as a cocktail party or presentation, walk around the room, hand out a couple of business cards and exit as quickly and as politely as we can. In reality anyone can do that!

What is more difficult to do is understand our personal strengths as a networker and play to those strengths in order to build our personal brands.

In this practical half-day workshop the participants will:

  • Meet new people
  • Practice and develop their elevator speech, i.e. value proposition
  • Build their brand
  • Maximise their visibility
  • Know their power as a networker
  • Understand the principles of good networking
  • Develop skills to overcome networking roadblocks
  • Manage their personal and business networks
