SUMMARY:Grow Your Network this Holiday Season
DESCRIPTION:Making the Most of\nNetworking Opportunities…Holiday Edition\nNovember and December are the busiest times of the year for networking. Celebrations\, special get-togethers\, events\, and parties are everywhere\, presenting unique opportunities to make important connections for your business. It’s also a real challenge…with so many events how do you decide which are the most important to attend? \nMaking the most of this unique time of the year means choosing which events are the most important and which you can afford to skip. To help you figure out how to maximize your impact\, join us for a frank discussion about networking during the holiday season. \nLed by Eric Byrd\, SBDC Manager and Lead Business Advisor\, this informative and entertaining session will help you: \nLearn why (and how) to plan for the holiday season’s events\, so you can prevent being overwhelmed.\nDiscover simple\, actionable techniques for meeting the right people and engaging in meaningful conversations\, rather than wasting time with the same old chit-chat over and over again. \nCreate your own plan of action to evaluate activities so you connect and expand your network\, instead of winging it and realizing later you’ve just recycled old conversations that lead you nowhere. \nEric has taught over 10\,000 professionals how to improve their networking skills through his online and in-person training programs. As the manager of the local Small Business Development Center\, he works with small business owners every week on ways to improve outreach to customers and partners alike. In this entertaining talk\, he will share practical ideas and information that he has learned from 25 years in sales and insights he uncovered from eight years as a business coach and trainer. Register today and make the most out of this holiday event season for your own business.
