From Small Talk to Big Opportunities

Making the right business connections are the key to success in any business or career. It's the contacts you make in your network who become customers, referral partners, mentors or even friends who can help you to succeed.

Networking can be intimidating and a bit daunting if you’re new to it, can’t it? Does the thought of meeting new people make you feel uncomfortable or unsure? Do you find it difficult to make yourself go to events and introduce yourself? Are you worried you'll sound silly or not know what to say? It doesn't have to be like this, you CAN learn to network without all the angst.

In this introduction to business networking course, you'll discover

· The benefits of networking.

· We’ll help you to recognise networking opportunities that will suit you.

· Know how to prepare for an event.

· How to follow up.

· And best of all we’ll help you to create your own elevator pitch with our Pitch Building Template.

This is your perfect introduction to the world of business networking, ideal for beginners who want to increase their confidence and feel more empowered.

We understand the power of a network. Our passion for networking and helping others succeed is truly contagious, and we can't wait to share our knowledge and expertise with you.

The main goal of this taster session is to help you overcome any fears or hesitations you might have about networking. We’ll guide you through the ins and outs of networking, leaving you feeling more confident about attending your next event, whether online or Face-to-face. Don't let your fears hold you back any longer.

The session is followed by a networking event where you can try out your new found skills.
