When you register for a conference, it's a big investment.
The cost might be covered by your company, but you will still need to be out of the office for a few days. Are you planning ahead so you'll use the time away strategically? Do you feel confident about making the most of the opportunities at the event?
This book will help you stop wasting time networking and start building great relationships.
Rather than collect an overflowing stack of business cards on your desk, learn how to follow up effectively. Collecting business cards is not building relationships.
