"Connect-Working":  How to Create Profitable Business Relationships
 

Sarah Woods Executive Coach & Senior Communications Consultant Bates Communications, Inc. bio

If you know how to "connect-work", you can attract the right type of clients, customers, and business colleagues.  In a rocky economy, “connect-working” with the right people can help you retain a positive attitude and build mutually beneficial relationships that bring business in the door. 

"Connect-working" starts with the interpersonal skills that are essential to building business relationships. This isn’t networking 101 – “connect-working” goes far beyond working a room and handing out business cards.  In this program, Sarah Woods will share techniques for creating profitable business relationships, being memorable, making small talk, and making the most of networking opportunities.  You'll walk away with tips for getting real results from “connect-working”, specifically on how to:

• Have productive conversations
• Build and use favor banks
• Make strategic introductions
• End conversations with grace
• Follow-up with gusto

In this climate, when we’re glued to our desks and often don’t have time for attending traditional face-to-face events, it can be hard to connect with others.  Sarah will share tips for building profitable relationships without leaving your office.  You’ll learn how to "network from your desk," a tried-and-true process, by learning how to:

• Become a prolific note-writer
• Use industry publications to stay on top of who to connect with
• Build and use your favor bank from the comfort of your office
• Develop a reputation as a "go to" person for clients and business colleagues
