How to Make Online Networking Work for You

---

Are you an SME owner or professional who’s role includes representing your organisation at online networking events and forums? Do you sometimes feel held back by shyness or out of your comfort zone? If you do, this dynamic and practical session is the perfect way to learn new skills and techniques, to help you overcome the nerves and start networking with confidence.

Right now, it’s probably more important than ever for businesses to maintain and strengthen their professional networks. As we all know, with movement restricted, this has now become challenging in terms of meeting face-to-face, leading to a surge in online networking opportunities.

As most of us know, engaging on screen presents a whole host of new challenges, so it’s more important than ever to understand the techniques for making an impact and getting your message across succinctly and memorably. Interacting via online networking platforms doesn’t have to be nerve-racking, on the contrary - done right it can be fun, rewarding and most of all instrumental in building relationships and doing more business.
