Michigan Family Business Center Workshop - The Art of Networking


When: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 from 7:30 - 9:30 a.m.
Where: Metropolitan Hotel (formerly Ramada and Troy Hilton), 5500 Crooks Road, Troy

Details:

At networking events have you ever felt dismissed by someone "working the room" because you're not a prospect for them? Or "pounced-on" by hungry aggressive people who think you could be a prospect? Or worse yet, have you ever done any of the above to someone else when you were networking? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, learn The Box Step, a simple four-step process that makes networking fun, easy and productive, even if you are an introvert.

A previous banking attendee produced $13 million dollars of additional business during a 12 week pilot using the Box Step process. Subsequent training of 800 additional staff members resulted in another $140 million dollars in additional business. Another attendee, an international shipping company, increased its volume of shipments by 39.6 percent over a 90 day period.

Complimentary breakfast included.

Reservations are required at m-f-b-c@umflint.edu or 810-762-0001.
