Is Your NETworking NOTworking?

Are you getting a worthwhile return on the time, effort, energy and money you put into networking ?

Perhaps you turn up at events but struggle to turn conversations into business. Maybe you’re unsure whether you’re meeting the right people, or you find the whole process frustrating.

For PBN Glasgow’s first anniversary, we’re joined by Colin McKeand for a fully interactive session exploring how to make networking more effective.

Colin will cover :
-Knowing what you want to achieve from networking.

-Preparing and planning before attending events.

-What to do and say when you’re in the room.

-Following up after meeting someone.

- Building long-term relationships that lead to support, referrals and business. 

Whether you’re new to networking or have been attending events for years, this is an opportunity to reflect on your approach and pick up practical ideas you can put into use.
