7 Steps To Networking Your Way To Personal & Business Success In 2014!

No matter what you do, whether you are building your own business, or you work for a company, it’s your network that is going to help get you from where you are to where you want to be. You never know when you might change careers, or change the path you are on to go and do something different.

When we try and go it alone, we make the journey so much harder. Plus, we limit ourselves and our success, and who wants to do that?!

If you are a networking novice, or an old-hand I’m going to show you how to build your network naturally and authentically PLUS it’s going to feel like fun! You won’t even know you ARE networking whilst you are building a genuine and STRONG network.

When people hire you or buy your services and what you offer, 90% of that is down to people knowing you and liking you and trusting you.

Over the years of being in business, I’ve seen it time and time again and experienced it for myself. 90% of people who work with me have met me, online or in person, and got to know me. It’s the same for you!

Through building my network, I’ve had the chance to work with some amazing businesses.

This didn’t happen by chance. It’s got nothing to do with luck. It’s all down to people. People meeting me, knowing me, talking about me, recommending me. It’s the same for you!

Learn how to increase your chances of success with my top tips from my experience and what I have seen and learnt over the years. Your skills and knowledge will take you so far. It’s your personal network that will take you the rest of the way.

Here's what you will learn in this half-day course:

Step 1. The single biggest mistake nearly everyone makes when it comes to building their personal and professional networks

Step 2. How to create a plan of action to help support your goals before, during and after events

Step 3. How to increase your odds of getting more YESES to your requests and learn who to connect with to get the best results

Step 4. How to get organised, stay organised and how to ditch that pile of business cards in your desk draw! Plus I'll give you my personal, and free, system for managing those cards and keeping in touch.

Step 5. Ettiquette and how-tos; practical advice to make your time spent networking more fun and less stressful.

Step 6. Developing a networking backbone. This backbone is what will support you and give you a bolster and sometimes a lifeline you can always rely on

Step 7. Creating a plan for business and personal networking success in 2014 so you don’t stay stuck in the same place and you keep moving towards your goals
