The Art Of Networking

Just a little head’s up that tomorrow night Robert Gervais, President of Pre2Post Technologies, and I will be giving a one-hour-plus presentation entitled, The Art Of Networking. The event is taking place at YES Montreal (Youth Employment Services) on Monday, November 8^th, 2004 from 6:30 – 8:45 pm. You can find the full details here.
We’re going to interact and discuss how to foster, create and nurture business relationships that create value and grow your business. There will be plenty of opportunities to understand how working with these simple skills can put you ahead of the pack.
I can attest that helping others grow their business by providing them with sales leads, competitive information or just discussing areas of mutual interest has helped position myself and Twist Image as key advisors and, at the same time, enabled me to never make a cold call.
There’s a lot to cover and a good time will be had by all. I’ll probably debrief here in the coming days but here’s a teaser: if you think that talking to them about what you or company can do for them will win you business, you’re dead wrong. Come and find out why. I look forward to seeing you there.
