Networking
Introduction
Professionals tell us they could fill their diaries almost twice over with business events and networking opportunities. Networking has been a faithful tool of the professional services business development kit bag for many years. Done well, it can be a great asset to a professional’s client portfolio growth. Many, however, tell us they are not confident networkers. They look at impressive colleagues or contacts and wonder how they too could replicate that success. They want to build a valuable business network that will provide a steady flow of great business opportunities.
This module gives you the toolkit you need to become a confident networker and, perhaps more importantly, how to best use that valuable skill to build your own network and stimulate new instructions.
This Module:
- Step 1 - What is Networking – read our definition of what networking is (and what it isn’t) and what ‘working the room’ really means
- Step 2 – Watch our video to see how some professionals perform
- Step 3 - Lessons to learn from the video
- Step 4 – Action points to take away – how best to put this learning into practice.
