Course Description

Creating Profitable Connections - Networking Magically

It is very easy to network every day of the week, morning, noon and night and not create any business and to lose money as you invest a lot of time and energy when networking. Not all networking events are free and therefore before you know it, you might have spent £1000 a year and have no results to show for it. You do need to have a networking strategy and have a clear pitch yourself before you even start. If you don't know what you offer, networking can be a waste of time.

This course is designed to help you understand how to get the most from your networking by building relationships with other businesses. By helping others through networking, collaborations can happen and everyone can create more business. There is a series of videos explaining specific behaviours and habits which will empower your networking as well as a comprehensive guide to networking.

The course is aimed at business owners who are new to networking and what it entails, but more experienced business owners who are not getting the results they want will also benefit. Sometimes there can be unconscious behaviours such as being a loner, saying you will do something and not doing it or fearing rejection of others, which can affect results. Know, Like and Trust is essential in business and if you have any trust issues personally, this will affect how you bond with others and the results you get.
