Got Champions? Transforming Contacts Into Advocates

While most professionals have a network of business colleagues and associates, few people know how to maximize the value of these relationships. This session is not the typical “How to develop a network.” Instead, this interactive session demonstrates seven proven steps for developing advocates. Advocates are “champions of your cause” - individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty on your behalf. Advocates say great things about you to their own influential contacts, while opening doors for you to new meaningful opportunities. Cultivating advocates is one of the most effective means for career-minded professionals to: (1) Advance their personal and career goals; (2) Reduce the time needed to meet key decision makers; (3.) Influence others to their point-of-view; (4.) Generate new business in less time; and (5) Increase their sphere of influence. In today’s complex and challenging business environment, these Seven Proven Steps will place audience members on the direct path to greater business, career, and personal success.
