CIMA – Improve your networking skills

Across every continent networking both within and between organisations has become the key to continued business success and collaboration.

Being a ‘good networker’ is a key skill in order to bring in new business or even get into the job market. Networking is not about selling. It is about building relationships and trust. However, attending networking events is dreaded by many, if not most.

This highly interactive, practical and fun presentation will give participants:

• the confidence and knowledge to be able to walk comfortably into a room of strangers
• know who to approach and how
• know who to avoid or move away from politely
• know what to say and what questions to ask
• how to deal with the one minute presentation and how to gain follow-up opportunities.

By the end of this workshop participants will:

• be able to attend networking events feeling in control and prepared
• build stronger and long lasting business relationships
• create more effective business opportunities
• feel more confident in business situations
• know how to answer the “what do you do?” question
• ask great business related questions
• spot the opportunities and deal with them with ultimate professionalism
• avoid the ‘gollum’ moment.
