Networking-The Vital Link!

It has been said many times that if you have contacts, you’ve got it made. Certainly, the names and numbers of the right people are critical.  Consider this: the real issue is not who you know, but who wants to know you.  Some people talk about how important it is to build a large database of business contacts.  What is more important is the number of people who have you in their database.  The best business people figure out ways to attract more business.   Networking is a tool you can use to create ongoing success.  Attend this PROPEL workshop to pick up vital tips for before, during and after a networking event.
