One of the biggest complaints about developing a networking practice is "It takes too much time/money".In truth, most people are just plain inefficient in their networking behavior.- They attend too many events.- They belong to too many groups.- They don't know what they do or who they serve...- ...and they are surprised when no one helps them succeed.Behind all of these failures is an underlying failure to focus their efforts. They take a scattershot approach to networking, when instead they should be focused like a laser scalpel.Over the course of this workshop attendees will learn the process to...- ...narrow their target market -- and know the words to avoid when describing it.- ...develop the list of emotional reasons their clients choose them.- ...develop their personal story for why they do what they do (and why that is important).- ...give their referral partners the information they need to provide better connections and referrals.
