Networking with Attitude! |
|
More than "Schmoozing!" Are the contacts in your network file working for you, or are you a business card collector? Networking is defined as a group of co-operating individuals. It is not defined as a large number of contacts made over a short period of time! Our verbal conversation accounts for only 7% of our communication - What are you really saying? Do you have a purpose? A strategy? A plan? What are those elusive little tricks that will help build a relationship in 5 minutes or less? How do you break into a "group" or break out of a conversation and move on? What do you do with all those business cards, once you have collected them? Learn how to literally "jump" out of your comfort zone and really have fun networking! |

You Don't Get a Second
Chance If the words I speak are only 7% of what people hear, what am I saying? What is their impression of me? Am I confident? Arrogant? Fearful? Do they see trust? Knowledge? Learn to see yourself and others without the "mask". Being able to read others gives us a competitive edge. Being able to read others helps us to listen better and to communicate more effectively. Watch for the barriers we create and that others put before us. Learn how to deal with those barriers and break down the walls. Making a presentation? Learn to watch "your room"! Working in retail? Learn to pick out the different personalities and communicate a message specific to their needs. In sales? Learn how to read your potential buyer and know when to stop, when to listen, when to close, and when to celebrate. This Program is so much FUN! Learn to laugh at yourself while you are laughing at Barb! Great for your business relationships or your personal relationships. You may even find a self you didn't know you had! |
