Cradle-to-grave job security is gone. Building relationships is your key to controlling
your career, your business and your destiny from your first job until you retire. You have
one thing in common whether you are self-employed or work for someone else: People like to
do business with and hire people they know and trust or people referred to them by people
they know and trust. To be “the” one to get the sale or the job, you need to
create, develop and maintain relationships with the right people to build social capital.
Just knowing people is not enough! More than ever, you need to hone and enhance your
networking and communication skills to make your interactions meaningful and you memorable.
This series, based on what you do before you work an event, at the event and after the event,
was created by the woman the Chicago Tribune calls a networking expert and the Association
Forum of Chicagoland calls the business networking authority.
CP002 - Introduction to Laying the Relationship-Building Foundation
(3 hrs)
Building social capital is key to amassing financial capital. Advanced degrees and experience
won’t help you get ahead when you lack “knob turners” to get you the
appointment or interview. You invest money and earn interest to get more money; this process
is about investing time to gain more contacts to build a new kind of wealth: relationships.
You’ll get an in-depth look at what constitutes networking, the noun that has been
turned into a verb and is a mainstay in business worldwide. Then you’ll start the
networking process at the beginning by learning more about your natural networking strengths
and limitations and improve your interpersonal knowledge as you also learn what makes others
act and react the way they do... and, importantly how to improve your interactions with them.
This first course in the series will lay the foundation for building relationships that last.

CP003 - To Catch Trout, Don't Fish in a Catfish Pond
(Target Your Market and Set Goals - Before the Event)
(2 hrs)
To achieve maximum results from your networking efforts, you need to target your market and
set goals. This can be a daunting task without proper guidance and, therefore, many people
never do it. They lack the advantage that this vital tool can give them in their business
and career success. This course will help you complete your personal relationship-building
plan and help guarantee that the networking process works for you. Further, keep this plan
handy so you can continue to refine it as you move throughout your career, either at the same
company, or as is more likely, as you change jobs or become self-employed.
Prerequisite: While not absolutely necessary, it will be helpful for you to have taken
"Laying the Relationship-Building Foundation" in this five-part "Building
Relationships for Business and Career Success" series.

CP004 - Create Effective, Powerful Verbal and Printed Business Cards
and Know How to Use Them Effectively (Before the Event)
(2 hrs)
Your initial words in any face-to-face networking interchange are so important that you need
to craft them so they inspire, inform and intrigue others enough that they want to know more
about you. This course leads you through the process of creating your Verbal Business Card,
the front end of your elevator pitch, which also serves as the basis of your top-of-the-mind
positioning statement, a must for every business person. It also gives you vital delivery tips
that lead you into meaningful conversations so you will be memorable later. Your Printed
Business Card also plays a crucial role in your relationship-building activities because it is
often the first impression of your business. This course also provides myriad tips on how to
create and use this powerful tool.
Prerequisite(s): While not absolutely necessary, it will be helpful for you to have taken
"Laying the Relationship-Building Foundation" and "To Catch Trout, Don’t
Fish in a Catfish Pond" in this five-part "Building Relationships for Business and
Career Success" series.

CP005 - Work an Event with Ease (At the Event)
(2 hrs)
You can do your homework, yet nothing can simulate actually working an event. This is when
reality hits, and you have the face-to-face opportunity to build or strengthen relationships
that will help increase your sales or get you the job or promotion you want... or to miss the
chance because you don’t know networking etiquette or didn’t engage in meaningful
conversations that made you memorable. There’s so much more to working an event than just
showing up. This course details what to do from start to finish, giving you the framework to
adapt to your style so you can succeed much more easily.
Prerequisite(s): While not absolutely necessary, it will be helpful for you to have taken
"Laying the Relationship-Building Foundation", "To Catch Trout, Don’t
Fish in a Catfish Pond", and "Create Effective, Powerful Verbal and Printed Business
Cards and Know How to Use Them Effectively" in this five-part "Building Relationships
for Business and Career Success" series.

CP006 - Follow Up Is Golden (After the Event)
(2 hrs)
You did your before-the-event preparation. You worked the event with ease, and now you have
a handful of business cards. What do you do next? You follow up, of course! You’ll learn
how... from the importance of collecting and recording information on business cards for
populating your database to follow-up methods from email, handwritten notes, e-zines or
newsletters to the time-proven telephone calls, business meals and referrals. You’ll
also learn how to recognize and respond online and on the telephone to the four styles of
behaviors I described in detail in the first course.
Prerequisite(s): "Laying the Relationship-Building Foundation" is mandatory. It is
also strongly recommended that you have completed "To Catch Trout, Don’t Fish in a
Catfish Pond," "Create Effective, Powerful Verbal and Printed Business Cards and Know
How to Use Them Effectively," and "Work an Event With Ease" in the five-part
"Building Relationships for Business and Career Success" series. This will have given
you the basis for what to do before and during an event.
