Success. No MBA Required
Increase Your Net Worth with "Power Networking"
Why Attend? Two Benefits - Two Sessions
These two sessions will help attendees increase their confidence with real-time practical advice and on-the-spot practice.
Part 1: Attract More Clients Strategically
When you're asked, "What do you do?" is your first response awkward or does your mind go blank? Can you quickly and memorably describe what's unique about your business? Can you immediately recognize who your ideal clients are?
If you don't love to network, you're not alone. Look around at networking events; you'll see many business owners turn into shriveling, wilting flowers. Great news! If you're not getting the response you want at events, then learn how to turn your networking efforts around. People will ask you questions about your business and then hand you THEIR business cards!
In this best practices briefing, you will:
- Discover how to quickly set yourself apart from the competition with a USP.
- Design a 2-sentence Business Snapshot that will get you noticed by your ideal clients.
- Practice what you've learned immediately.

Part 2: Make Your Professional Presence SIZZLE!
It’s time to set yourself apart from other Interior Designers by presenting yourself with confidence and authority. Stop being tongue-tied at receptions and events or trembling at the thought of introducing yourself. Stop worrying about how to move from one conversation to another. Don’t let your business manners interfere with building relationships.
Turn your network into net worth. Polish your presence right down to that stack of business cards in your pocket!
In this important session, you will:
- Master expertise in hosting -- and attending -- events to your advantage.
- Build your confidence to engage in conversation.
- Learn how to avoid the 5 most misunderstood etiquette blunders.
