Networking: Get Results - There was a great turn out for the refresher workshop on 7th July, at El Castizo in Chichester, which took place in conjunction with First Friday's amazing 'Event in The Tent'.
With a group of people that included three "newbies" to networking and others who wanted a reminder of what networking's about, we covered the dos, don'ts and etiquette of networking, before joining the crowd at the Event in The Tent straight afterwards!
“I realise now that it’s not about pitching to people and selling my services. It’s about staying in touch with people, building contacts and seeing how you can help each other”
If you're interested to attend the next Networking: Get Results session in the Autumn, let us know here.
