Time to work on your networking skills!

Networking is part of your job. When meeting new potential business partners, ambassadors or clients it is essential that you can tell a story about your proposition especially for this audience. This requires a combination of listening and storytelling skills. In this workshop from Briskr & Mercator Launch we’ll work on both.

We start with finetuning and adapting your story for any audience. Then we practice how to tell this story to the right people in a networking setting. First defining the right people and then finding out how to get into a conversation with them and maybe even more important getting out when they turn out not to be the right fit. And how/when do you succesfully follow-up on the meeting?

This will be an interactive workshop with ample opportunity to try out new versions of your stories and tactics to tell them. One thing is guaranteed; At the end of the workshop there will be at least 10 people in your network who can tell a version of your story. #networkingstartsnow

This workshop preceeds the networking and inspiration event from the municipality of Nijmegen, which offers a great opportunity to put into practise what you’ve just learned about networking.
