The Housatonic River Job Network will be hosting author and networking specialist Rob Thomas as its guest speaker on Thursday, Dec. 5 at the Case Memorial Library in Orange.
Networking is the cornerstone of finding profitable business connections. Why do even the most seasoned professionals hate it? They don’t know how to find the right contacts – or how to turn them into profitable and enjoyable relationships.
In his presentation, which begins at 7 p.m., Thomas divulges his underlying networking mindset, breaking down the simple and strategic rules for going beyond the business card exchange that will ensure you find and foster profitable business connections.
Thomas is the creator of the Rob Thomas Method of Networking, which is the basis of his new book, Who Do You Need to Meet?
Thomas’s three-step strategy gives professionals a new perspective on how to use the who, what and where of networking to cultivate business. First it’s about identifying your best prospects. Second is having warm, strategically focused conversations. Third involves holding meetings in places that represent the heartbeat of America.
Thomas will share the backbone principles of his method – plus his most successful secrets and success stories. Learn how to better connect with those both inside and outside of your business network and build stronger relationships.
“It’s always who you know. I can teach you the secret to uncovering the hidden value in your network,” Thomas says.
