Title: How HR Can Build Beneficial Relationships for Corporate Growth
The heart of Conversation on Networking is still the random event that led to our founding: The Show…an entertaining, interactive, educational, humorous program where you exercise your networking muscles while learning immediately useful ways to find and connect with all those people who wander by. You know the engineers or the marketers or the executive leadership in a way that gets them to want you to use your human resources knowledge to build a stronger organization.
The Show isn’t a boring slide presentation or a lecture that puts you to sleep. You get to ask your most pressing networking questions, you get to experience the joys of connecting with other participants; you get to walk around and get some exercise while learning how to talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Really!
Everyone needs to keep finding new and interesting people that will become clients and key contacts…or fellow employees…in the future. You probably already know some people destined for these roles but haven’t realized it yet. We hear all the time that people don’t have the time or the energy to develop these connections. Or is it just the fear it’s too much work…and they’re not sure what to do?
We understand the barriers to success that you face. That’s why we created the solution…Conversation on Networking. We guarantee “The Show” will help you overcome your fears and send you off with new skills and the confidence to become a better networker. You will learn skills that will benefit your company in ways that will help to achieve your strategic mission and help grow the organization. Just imagine:
· Getting the “non-candidate” to feel great about your organization and even advocate for it while understanding why it wasn’t the right fit for them.
· Hiring is a million dollar decision; learn to legally find out more about prospects with good networking skills.
· Discover how to be able to tap into the talent pool to find those hard to find skill sets.
· Learn the right way to stay in front of people you are trying to influence or sell to without being pushy
We know and share the time constraints you face, so our guarantee to you is that you will have an entertaining time sharing in a conversation that leaves you with immediately useful strategies for improving your networking skills, benefitting both you and your organization.
