BOSS-Talks Business Tools: Standing Out in the Crowd

By

If you are in business or you are the business, this program will show you how to stand out in the minds and hearts of your market. It takes some planning, decision-making, and sticking to a system – all of which will be discussed.

Standing out combines networking with prospecting and mentoring. So you will also get a good understanding of how these words differ and relate.

Your Takeaway: This short program is not to teach you “hype sales”; it is part of a systematic approach to give your market the opportunity to buy what you have to sell at a price you can both agree on.

Who should attend: business owners, business owners who hate sales, business owners who love to learn new sales processes, independent sales people

Networking skills are not the exclusive property of extroverts. Introverts have them, too.

Not the belle or beau of the ball? Don’t do well in groups? Are you kind of shy or just hate playing the networking game? You can still be a great networker. The best part is, you don’t have to and shouldn’t change you.

Networking Rules

You do have to play by the rules. Networking is a balancing act; give and take. It’s not just about sales or prospecting. Although these can happen.  You can also use it for finding friends, jobs, fun places to go or avoid, and a million other things. Think about it as a combination of a “net” which gathers things in and keeps things out and a lot of hard “work”. Believe me, it doesn’t come easy to extroverts either although it may seem that way.
