Stay Networked: The Catch-up Call

Broadview Coaching

In August I wrote an article entitled “Getting in Front of Decision Makers” where I talked about the three primary conversations that help us generate business. As a reminder, they are: 1) Discovery/Enrollment Conversations — These conversations are for when someone has expressed a need and wants to explore working with you.

Getting Speaking Opportunities
