09jan5:00 pm6:00 pmVirtual Connect & Learn: Building Relationships Through Networking

Event Details

Business is built on relationships, not 30-second commercials. Your ability to connect with people is essential to developing profitable relationships. You’re aware that people do business with those they know, like and trust; yet you struggle with maintaining good relationships with your connections -relationships that result in a referral or client. Not many people were taught how to network for business. They simply show up and pass out business cards without having a plan or strategy for building relationships. Women business owners are natural collaborators and connectors; but with a strategic approach to deepening relationships they can be more productive, effective and build a high net worth network. This session is essential for NAWBO members and leaders who want to strengthen relationships with members, sponsors and the business community. Tarsha Polk, helps attendees move beyond passing out a business card to strategically building successful networking relationships.

Key Takeaways

Learn the skills you need to build business relationships.
Strategies for developing and nurturing relationships.
Ways to leverage your contacts to gain contracts.

Presented by Tarsha Polk, NAWBO DFW

13feb5:00 pm6:00 pmVirtual Connect & Learn: When Generations Collide – Better Communication Strategies

Event Details

We tend to show up as we are, regardless of who we are meeting with. We assume that everyone is like we are. How often has someone started talking about politics to you, assuming that you are in their party, but you aren’t? How often do we put our foot in our mouth because of our assumptions?

To successfully influence others, we need to be intentional about who is sitting across the table from us and how we approach them. The first step is being self-aware, and then having a toolkit to learn to read and estimate others. Once we have a basic picture, we need to tailor our behavior and communication to meet them where they are. This is the best way to influence others. It is important in all areas of our lives, but this session will concentrate on meeting your prospects and clients where they are.

You will take away:

A broad view of the five factors of personality that academics and psychologists use as their standard
Very specific behaviors to look for in your prospects and clients
Very specific strategies to employ when communicating and influencing your prospects and clients.
