Want to know what it looks like to take a strategic approach to networking? I for sure do.

Tune into this special interview where I'm in the hot seat! I asked Contacts Count President and Networking Guru Vern Schellenger to do an on-air coaching session with me to help me craft my own personal and business networking strategy.

I recently moved to Colorado from Orlando, where I lived for 31 years. So, I need to build a new network. I can build my new network haphazardly, as I'm used to, or I can get strategic like my client Vern suggests, saving me time and making the whole process more enjoyable.

Which is what we all want from your networking, right? Who has extra time going to endless networking events or emails that yield lukewarm responses like "Ummm, sounds interesting, good luck with that."

In this episode, you'll hear:
