To develop new business, you need a targeted networking strategy. We help you do this.
Turn your Contacts into Clients in St. Paul and Minneapolis
Accountants, lawyers, financial service providers, professionals of all stripes constantly hear and read about the importance of networking to build their practice. But there is an art to effective networking and not many professionals “get” it.
Going to a networking event isn’t the time to sell your services to as many people as you can meet. Rather, it is a chance to connect with a handful of legitimate prospects. Knowing how to do this is a learned skill – and we teach our clients the right way to network.
We also work with our clients to select the best venues for them and their practice, and then provide ideas on the best way to choose who to talk with as well as how to disengage from other networkers who are not likely to need your services. Networking the correct way will help build your practice – but you have to know what is correct and what wastes your time.
