Sow the Seeds of Business Now- Part One: Networking Protocols

Date(s): Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Time: 2:00PM (EST) U.S.
Duration: 60 minutes

Description:

Networking is the set of communication skills required to build relationships, inform others, and learn from and about co-workers and clients. Managing the impression you make and maximizing your ‘like-ability’ are the keys to making every networking opportunity consistently profitable. First impressions really are important. The way you greet people can set the tone for the entire interaction that follows. If you make a poor initial impression, you may spend the rest of your time overcoming it.

In this interactive webinar you will be given tips on putting your best foot forward with the right handshake, effective introductions, and presenting and requesting business cards with confidence. You’ll master the principles of impression management by exploring perceptual tendencies, the ins-and-outs of small talk, and the subtleties of social diplomacy.

Also, remember why you’re attending. Be sure to be well prepared to create business opportunities through pre-contact planning: personal objective, agenda items, questions to ask, and referrals to get.
