Our Speaker: Thom Singer
Some Assembly Required: How to Make, Grow and Keep Your Business Relationships

Building a network of professional contacts is one of the most empowering things you can do to help your career. Whether you want to grow in your current job or position yourself for a new opportunity, it's hard to make that leap on your own. Anyone can train themselves to build relationships, regardless of their comfort level in social interactions. In a world where products and services are becoming commodities, having the advantage of being liked is becoming more and more critical to professional success.
 
You will learn to:

  • Know the difference between networking and making connections.
  • Make people and developing real friendships a priority.
  • Write memorable thank you notes.
  • Put others at ease in social situations.
  • Keep track of who you've met and what makes them special.
  • Turn your network into real dollars.
