Many people join large networking organizations such as a local Chamber of Commerce, trade association, or business group. That’s great! The problem is, they don’t know the techniques they need in order to be successful in those venues. The end result? They either actually quit or they emotional shut down and even when they show up, they don’t expect to get anything out of their membership.

Join Greg and Debby as they discuss the simple activities you can pursue in order to stand out in the group and get the kind of results you want. Thank you to Kristin Meyer and Colleen Tankoos for the inspiration for our conversation.

Thank you to ConvoSparkers:
