“The Rules of Networking"
Join us for the April Small Business Forum to learn the finer points of being an effective networker.
How many times have you been left waiting by the phone wondering what went wrong? You wore your nice suit, you paid for lunch - and still that business connection seemed to fall flat. Why? We've always been warned not to mix business life and personal life, but this is one case where it pays to double-dip. We've all gotten advice about dating, but how often does someone tell you "The Rules" when it comes to networking.
Sharí Alexander of the Expert Message Group, LLC unlocks the secret to why you might not get called back. In both business and dating, people are trying to put their best foot forward and make a good first impression. In this program, you'll learn how to walk the fine line of networking by applying the lessons everyone remembers from dating. With some body language techniques, influential communications, and some good old fashion common sense, learn the do's and don'ts of successful networking to establish strong relationships right from the start. Just like dating, there are certain rules that will lead you to the (business) relationship of your dreams.
The forum is scheduled for 7:30-9 a.m., Tuesday, April 26 at the Hillcrest Oklahoma Heart Institute, 1120 S. Utica Ave. (in lecture hall I located on the corner of 12th and Trenton). Click here for a detailed map. Check-in begins at 7:30 a.m., and the event will start promptly at 7:45. Small Business Forums are free for Chamber members, and members are welcome to bring non-member guests and principal employees who can benefit from the event. (First-time guests of members are free.) Non-member price is $20.
Click Here to register online or contact Warren Unsicker at 918.560.0235 or warrenunsicker@tulsachamber.com. Seating is limited, so attendees are encouraged to register by Friday, April 22.
The Small Business Forum is a monthly workshop series designed to help small businesses by bringing together experts from various fields to offer insight and answer questions about issues important to area small business owners and their principal employees.
