Heather White has trained thousands of people on how to network and how
to work a room and one of the biggest problems people have is how to
network in an authentic way. If you are not a natural networker (and
over 80% of people are not) what is authentic? Discovering your
networking style will help you find a way of network that is right for
you. The benefits are enormous, you can relax more, feel more confident
and be natural - all of which leads to greater effectiveness and
success.
Back in 2004, Smarter Networking set out to find a simple but effective approach to networking that could be easily taught and that would help people discover what their natural networking approach is. Our extensive research into the differing approaches people use when networking highlighted 4 distinct networking styles which we named Developers, Explorers, Finders and Gatherers.
The Networking Styles Questionnaire™ (NSQ™) will:
-
Identify & explain your preferred networking style
-
Outline your strengths and opportunities
-
Explain how to recognise & network with the other 'types‘ and
- Give you some simple steps for developing a networking strategy
The NSQ™ reports are not psychological profiles, they are insights into people's networking preferences and will help you find a way of networking which is right for you.
Peter Miller-Smith, MSM Coaching - "I have been running my own business for eight years, and rely on networking, recommendations and referrals to get my business. I attend a lot of networking events, and have always thought I'm pretty good at it. I completed the questionnaire developed by the Smarter Networking because I know there are areas that I can improve on. My time is valuable and I want to make sure I make best use of all networking opportunities. The report I received was extremely insightful. It identified my networking style perfectly and most importantly identifies areas where I could possibly improve-and it was spot on! I would recommend anyone who is serious about their business to complete it. "
