Networking is a curable condition

Bill Snow relays his fast paced, insightful, and often humorous story about how he turned career stagnation and frustration over a lost business opportunity into a self-published book, a column with an online periodical, job opportunities, business ventures, a book deal with a large publisher, and a career as an international speaker. And most importantly, quite a bit of networking know-how that he continues to use to further his career. Key subjects include:

· Marketing

· Networking

· Differentiation

· Communication

· Creativity

· Personal-branding

Bill encourages his audience to stop being myopic in their marketing and networking and instead focus on the other person (“stop asking, find something to offer”). Managers should encourage their people to use their personalities and be unafraid of being memorable (“you’ll never stand out if you strive to be the best at fitting in”).

 Are you dissatisfied with your networking? Are your sales people struggling to connect with prospects? Bill explains what he did to jump start his career, connect with others, and create opportunities for himself (and others). Members will examine their strengths and weaknesses, learn how they learn, replace their elevator pitch with a golf ball pitch, and will be given some fresh ideas about job titles and descriptions. You’ll never look at the term “business development” the same way again.
