Networking 101: Making Networking Work For You

If you think you’re great at networking because you hand out plenty of business cards, here’s the real question. Are you actually growing relationships that turn into business? If not, this workshop is exactly where you need to be.

This event is built for people who are ready to stop “just showing up” and start networking with intention. We want:
• New entrepreneurs getting their footing
• Salespeople who rely on relationships to hit their numbers
• Business owners who want more visibility, more referrals, and more growth

In this 90 minute workshop you’ll learn how to introduce yourself clearly, start real conversations instead of awkward ones, build rapport fast, and follow up in a way that feels natural. You’ll leave with strategies you can use immediately

Seating is limited to 25 people so everyone gets a focused, high value experience.

This event is FREE.

The workshop will be held at The Riverview Center, 103 Watson Road in Chesapeake on Wednesday, January 7 from 3 to 4:30 pm.

If you want your networking time to actually pay off in 2026, this is where you start.
