Initiating, developing, and strengthening relationships globally (with people you don’t know yet) can feel daunting. Yet, it is proven to be most crucial.

• According to HubSpot, 85% of jobs are filled through networking.
• According to Oxford Economics, 75% of customers either require or prefer in-person meetings and executives claim that they would lose 28% of their business if they stopped networking. 

Another study conducted by Forbes illustrates the top benefits of in-person meetings: 

• 85% said they build stronger and more meaningful relationships. 
• 77% noted it’s easier to read body language and facial expressions. 
• 75% confirmed their ability to bond effectively with better social interaction. 
• 49% said it allowed for more complex strategic thinking. 

If you’re having similar, polite, surface-level conversations throughout your important networking experience, how will your conversation and the relationship between two people stand out and last longer? 

In our latest episode of the Get Hired Up! podcast, I once again speak with New York Times best-selling author, my friend, and influencer, Denise Logan and we explore an advanced networking strategy that is truly unique, powerful, and sustainable.

It’s important to establish ties that connect at a deep level while crystallizing trust for the long term. Denise shares her technique on how to build meaningful relationships through not just a conversation, but an experience that often lasts a lifetime.

I'm delighted to share this one-of-a-kind strategy with you.

As I shared in my last email, I was in NYC this past week! It has been an exceptional experience attending ACG’s Mid-Market Week and I have had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful people. Here is a photo of me (left), Alicia (right), and one of the Board of Directors for ACG Global at the Lincoln Center.

I am very grateful to be attending these in-person events again and having Alicia (our Business Development Executive) available to join me.
