Networking has evolved in many ways in recent years, but the underlying principles remain unchanged. Networking in now a necessary competency in corporate America and most of the world, but it has always been a required competency for any successful consultant.
This talk will show how networking for a consultant can be easy, even for introverts. To get what you need, you need to give first – the terms “pay it forward,” “boomerang effect” and “reciprocity principle” are all important in effective networking.
This talk will also teach you five easy steps for networking, building on LinkedIn and other social media. You will learn how to boost your productivity 30% in 2013, and you will also learn a few networking tips for the holidays.
