Moving from Famine to Feast: Networking That Doesn't Make People Run From You
Growth to Greatness: August Session
Trainer: Heidi Kirk, The Brilliant Division
Have you ever met someone at a networking event that makes you feel like they are a starving lion and you are the gazelle mean to feed them? Yep, me too. And, how does the gazelle react to the lion? RUN!
Famine networking makes people feel like you have been starving for decades and they are the only answer to your desperation. Would you do business with that person? The answer is NO!
Feast means there is enough business for you AND for the people around you. Now, that is someone I want to do business with! What about you?
Be trained on:
- You will learn practical steps on how to move from desperation based networking, AKA famine, to creating a place where you can feast on the abundance around you.
- Employees in sales, marketing, business/nonprofit development.
- Anyone whose success is based on attracting new business and retaining it.
