Jon Torrens – How to Enjoy Networking (and Be Good At It)

Cambridge Network Event

Networking's horrible, isn’t it? And you have to do it promote your business. Jon Torrens will share how his approach can be effective and enjoyable. In his talk, he will share some gems of wisdom on how to make genuine connections with people that might lead to actually getting some work.

In this session Jon will cover:

  • What to say
  • How to say it
  • How to navigate the physical space

He says: I find this approach wonderful because it works really well as well as being much easier. No cringey, 60-second pitching like a shark or pushily pressing your business card into every available hand.

People may forget what you said — but they will never forget how you made them feel’.

My approach will make the people you meet feel good. And after my session I think you will, too.
