Keynote: ‘Making Networking Work’

Almost all businesses will say that ‘word of mouth’ is crucial to their sales and business development, and everyone knows that having a strong network is key to personal and professional success. And yet almost no business has a ‘Networking Strategy’ for growth, and most people dread the idea of actively networking.

" We had an incredible 350% increase in sales after working with Lee "

Lee uses audience interaction to demonstrate key skills in two areas – face-to-face networking and learning how to grow a network strategically. Lee covers all those areas of personal networking that so many people find difficult – meeting strangers, having interesting conversations, remembering names, and crucially – knowing when and how to move on! With an emphasis on being strategic, Lee shares how using online tools and clear structures to stay in touch will grow a thriving and powerful network.
