Valuable Quotes from Our Attendees
Our topic of discussion inspired many of our attendees to share their tips on intentional networking.
Kim Knaak
“Read the room. (Also), invite your friends to the networking events you’re attending on Facebook, LinkedIn, via email, etc. Some people don’t want to attend a meeting alone, and will feel great to have a familiar face join with them. We all have different networks of people we trust. If we were to bring those networks together, we form a large trustworthy group to work together.”
Al Timm
“Share your knowledge about other Networking groups when attending other meetings”
Joanna Carlberg
“Cooperation between different Chambers (of Commerce) expands the area of reach.”
Laura Van Schyndel
“Relationships matter.”
Bill Sargent
“People don’t care how much we know until they know how much we care.”
Jonathan Heider
“Copy the right copycat.”
Shannon Ware
“It boils down to what can you do for others- who can you connect them with and how can you help.”
Lucas Nett
“Working in your business is different than working on your business.”
