Show Objectives - The Why

There have always been an abundance of opportunities to attend network sessions, conferences, and a wide variety of other meetings and sessions.

The effectiveness of those leaves a lot to be desired.
We will talk into some areas of networking and what we can do to improve our effectiveness.

By the end of our time together you will...Understand why it is important as a Business owner or Entrepreneur to know where, when, and how to network, build relationships, and be more effective with your time.

Key Issues - Owner Perspective

1. Not networking strategically - wasting time attending networking meetings that do not have potential strategic partners in the room
2. Not knowing how to use contact spheres
3. Failing to focus on relationship building

I have seen many positive outcomes from relationship building as my partner, Arthie Moore, who is also a host on this Radio network…in fact, she is on 2 hours after I finish today. She is an absolute master at this and has gained a lot of benefit from continuously connecting and communicating with people.
