There’s an old saying … “Your Network is Your Net Worth”.


If you really take a moment to think about it from your own personal history, your network of contacts & connects has been the source of the majority of your best opportunities for improving your:

· Marketing & Sales.

· Customers & Clients.

· Productivity & Efficiency.

· Systems & Processes.

· Technologies.

· Client Satisfaction.

· Testimonials & Reviews.

· Pricing & Margins.

· Cost Savings.

· Profitability

· Health & Wellness.

· Relationships & Communication.

· Finances & Investments.

· Lifestyle & Recreation.

· Environments & Nature.


Have you & your team truly made this a priority by building, maximizing, & optimizing your network?


I’m eager for the opportunity to train & coach your team, especially your GenZ & Millennial team members on how to do this, particularly when in Live in-person events like networking events, conferences, trade fairs, & others. Often, they are uncomfortable & out-of-their-depth in these situations, resulting in missed opportunities & limited growth & profitability.


Attached is a 1-Pager which outlines my BEYOND HANDSHAKES Live Training & Workshop where I share the distillation of my 2 decades’ experience in attending 3 business networking events a week, 50 weeks a year.
