Business Networking Skills

A group of people networking
 

How to network effectively

 

Why attend business networking skills training?


Networking is about connecting with people internally and externally to share information and build mutually beneficial relationships. Getting one or two new contacts at an event can make it all worthwhile. Yet rarely do we make the best use of a crowded room.
 
We offer two half-day business networking skills courses: Strategic Networking and Working the Room. You can run both courses together or just choose one or the other.

Strategic Networking gives you the skills to develop your network and build relationships with people beneficial to your business.

Working the Room shows you how to network at an event: how to overcome feeling daunted when approaching strangers, how to project confidence and get the most out of conversations.
 

Who is this business networking skills course for?


Strategic Networking will benefit anyone who needs to expand their network.

Working the Room is aimed at those who find it difficult to get value out of networking or want to make useful contacts at events. It's for those who want to learn practical networking skills and techniques and build their confidence when meeting strangers.
