I'd rather a poke in the eye than go networking!

Do your sentiments match these from self-described introverted/shy persons who responded to the Networking Effectiveness and Enjoyment Survey?

- “It is difficult to get past the superficial level.” (A.P.)
- “I feel my ability to network is poor compared to my colleagues/friends.” (M.C.)
- “Networking is a painful process for me, and takes effort to engage in.” (M.J.)
- “It’s awkward making small talk with strangers making small talk, beating-round-the-bush as to why you’re really there.” (B.R.)

If you resonate, you’ll appreciate the Business Friendship Mindset — aka B’Friendship!

In our ever-changing and competitive economy, building a functional professional network is one of the highest value activities one can pursue — whether for new clients, for present or future need of employment, for good employees, for various kinds of business partners, even for dating or workout partners!

This workshop on DVD (almost two hours long) has evolved from the work of Certified Management Consultant, Paul Aaron Travis. Its promise is to assist shy/introverted people become conscious, confident, and proficient in their networking!

Normally $197.00, this DVD has been reduced to just $97.00 because it will go into second edition in Spring 2011.  The return on this investment is an easy case to make, when you consider the average $145 total expense people make regularly:

  • the cost of the networking event (including whatever food is provided) averages $30
  • the value of your time, whether you are unemployed or you/your employer charges $10 to $500/hour
  • the cost of mileage/tolls/ferries/parking to attend an event downtown could exceed $30

Like breathing, networking is something we do every day — and like breathing, we rarely every focus on improving our skills to get better results! But consciousness is 51% of the work in addressing any problem…

Applying any one of the ideas/techniques in this virtual classroom could be worth tens of thousands of dollars/pounds/francs/euros in a career, in a new job, in pure satisfaction and good karma from referrals.

PS. Give this present to yourself or someone you love for a Better 2011! I look forward to hearing the results you create as a result of this home-study workshop.
