Bottom Line Business Relationships:
Network Your Way to an Indispensable Role in Your Company
The ability to create relationships in today’s knowledge-driven economy is critical to your survival. WHO you know is every bit as important as WHAT you know. Your company’s leaders are focused on the bottom line — if they don’t think you provide value, you could be on the next endangered species list.
By building a series of meaningful transactions, you can create long-term business relationships that turn your company leaders into allies and your peers into a marketing task force. It’s nice to have friends but it’s priceless to have fans who rave about your value to the company to others.
You work hard to protect your company from danger. You invest in your continuing education to stay on the cutting edge of your industry. You have information that your CEO needs to know. Business relationships provide the platform for showing your value to those who hold your destiny in their hands. They can also connect you to next steps in your career, mentors, and valued friends.
If you’d rather be poked in the eye with a stick than network, this session is for you. Think you’re too busy to leave your desk for lunch? You’ll learn why you are stunting your career growth if you don’t. Even social butterflies with walk away with some tools for getting more out of their business relationships.
Join us on December 8. You’ll learn to:
· Create meaningful dialogue that creates lifelong business relationships.
· Make a confident and memorable impression on those you meet
· Strategically design a plan for your own business referral network that benefits you and your company.
· Show your value to your company’s leaders.
· Discover the most powerful communication tool of all.
