In the tradition of the SMPS Education events of past, join SMPS Atlanta for this first in a series of pre-recorded webinars, sponsored by U.S. Cost and presented at their office. Networking comes naturally to some, but most of us have to work at it. This is the perfect opportunity to round up your technical staff and bring them along to this informative, insightful program to help all of us unlock our inner networkers!
Introverts are innately great networkers. The Introvert's Secret to Networking is a fresh perspective on networking for introverts and extroverts alike. Leave the sales pitch at home and learn to network by being yourself.
The Introvert's Secret to Networking will discuss the keys to real networking by looking at the stories of several introverts that have learned to succeed at networking and what extroverts can learn from their success. We will see how these individuals have succeeded by embracing their personal strengths, and eliminating the pressures of sales-driven networking. Come away with a fresh look at how you can use networking to succeed in your career and in life.
