Making network work by Lee Warren (PFS event) 11 March 2020 09.30-13.00

Overview:-

Almost all businesses will say that ‘word of mouth’ is crucial to their sales and business development, and everyone knows that having a strong network is key to personal and professional success. And yet almost no business has a ‘Networking Strategy’ for growth, and most people dread the idea of actively networking.

This highly-interactive keynote/seminar gives the audience key skills in two areas - face-to-face networking, and learning how to grow a network strategically. We cover all those areas of personal networking that so many people find difficult - meeting strangers, having interesting conversations, remembering names, and crucially - knowing when and how to move on! And we look at being strategic - using online tools and clear and easy structures to stay in touch and grow a thriving and powerful network.

Learning Objectives

By attending this event, delegates will learn:

• Learning why networking is so important for business growth
• How to create a strategic approach to networking
• Preparing for a networking event

• How to deal with different ‘personality types’ and awkward conversations
• Networking online - creating a ‘brand’
