When it comes to networking, have you thought, "I know I need to network, but I just can't bring myself to do it?" 

If so, don't worry; you are not alone! However, if you are experiencing those thoughts, you are networking wrong!

Today, I am talking to Vern Schellenger, president of the premier networking training and coaching company Contacts Count. 

My team and I have worked with Vern for the last few months on his brand positioning, messaging, copy, and website design. My work with him has permanently changed how I see and approach networking. 

Vern showed me with a few minor tweaks in mindset and skills that I could not only get good at networking but come to enjoy it!

I invited Vern on the show because I want you to discover simple shifts that will help you fill your network with potential clients who are the perfect fit for your business!

In this interview, you'll hear:

  • A better way to network that builds authentic relationships, regardless of your personality type
  • How to approach networking strategically so you get better results
  • Big mistakes consultants and coaches make when networking
