  Learn to Network Like a Pro:

  
  

  Networking is a vital skill for any business owner, yet most of us make rookie mistakes every time we step into a mixer or a crowded event. Becoming a great networker is an acquired skill, and the good news is anyone can learn to do it successfully--even introverts! In this program you will learn some techniques that top networkers use to connect easily, authentically and memorably for building strong business relationships. Bring your business cards, your best handshake and willingness to meet new people.

  
  

  The Michigan Small Business Development Center provides consulting, business education and market research to help small businesses launch, grow, transition and innovate.
