| | | | “Networking is about developing multiple mutual relationships for mutual benefit – it’s been around for ever - A network doesn’t have to be huge, but it has to be deep” -Rick Mamros | | |
| We all hear about how important networking is and as small business owners or self-employed individuals, that it should be our principal means of increasing our visibility and developing referrals. A lot of people when they are first starting out get frustrated when attending networking events, particularly the ones that are very short and don’t provide enough time to really get to know the others in the room. If you’re like I was a few years back, you wind up leaving with a stack of business cards but not too sure of what to do next.
If you feel that you are not getting the most out of your networking activities, and perhaps have become a bit frustrated with attending networking events or organized groups, then the good news is that there is actually help out there for those who want to improve their skills and network better.
Rick Mamros started out in the life insurance business over 25 years ago, and noticed that although there was great training out there on product and concept, there was something very important missing in that training process that had to do with making connections and building your contact base. As Rick explains:
“There was a gap – and I built up my insurance practice through networking – when we understand what networking is and how we do if effectively, we can sustain ourselves in business if that’s what you’re interested in doing” | | |
| Training and Consulting Services  This core concept is how Rick’s company Learn 2 Network got started over 5 years ago, and since then, they have provided training and consulting services dedicated to helping people develop their networking know-how. Training takes place at both public and client-specific sites, and can be tailored and applied to any organization, regardless of size and product. The consultants at Learn 2 Network are adept at working with clients to evaluate their current networking activities and recommending measurable performance improvement strategies.
Rick’s practical and positive style has won him numerous speaking engagements, leadership roles and awards for his ability to engage people to contribute as part of a group or individually. His earlier background in music studies, performance and teaching, coupled with his public speaking experience make him a natural in front of a group. His focus is on developing and augmenting relationships.
On a recent interview appearance, Rick talks about how he got started and how his company Learn 2 Network can help others add structure and purpose to their activities to become effective and confident networkers.
