Lee County: The Art of Networking and Personal Relationship

The Above Board Chamber of Florida Presents

“The Art of Networking and Personal Relationship!”

Networking is 9 to 5; relationships are forever. Our December meetings will discuss the differences. People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.â Networking is one and done. Itâs where you shake someoneâs hand and give them a business card. Where does that leave you? With a stack of business cards on your desk. A relationship, on the other hand, touches your heart and creates an everlasting partnership. Our December panel will share with you how to develop business partnerships!
