Networking (Boost)

What's the oldest and most proven business growth tactic? People who love your work tell other people. Now, networking is supposed to be a chance to find more people who don't know you but might love your work. However, it's gotten a bit of a bad rap. Back when industry events were happening in person, there were always the pre-event or post-event networking opportunities. Fortunately, some people love the hustle and bustle of meeting new people. However, some people (looking at you, sweet introverts!) would much rather leave as soon as possible than have to talk to a stranger! Now that events are happening virtually, we are all on even ground. We have an opportunity to revolutionize how we connect with new potential customers and partners. Join this session to learn how to make the most of this networking revolution. We'll cover: - How to find networking opportunities that fit your business goals - How to leverage your personality traits when you are networking - How to build authentic relationships with people you just met - How to follow up in ways that actually get a response - How to take a new networking contact from a stranger to a hot lead to a raving fan (Now THAT is worth knowing, isn't it?)
