Shumaker Chamber University: Knock Out Networking! More Prospects. More Referrals. More Business Presented by Michael Goldberg

July 29, 2026 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM (EDT)

Description

Knock Out Networking!

More Prospects. More Referrals. More Business Presented by Michael Goldberg 

Boxing, like networking, is about the connection. 

More and better connections (in or out of the ring!) means greater success.

Sales producers MUST have a “knock-out” networking approach to making great connections otherwise they will fail. Simple as that! It’s important to have a strategy for chambers, cocktail parties, golf outings, conferences, networking events, and of course through virtual platforms like social media, blogs, webinars, and online meetings. 

Most sales producers are not born networkers; they develop the skills and confidence through education, training, practice, and having a positive attitude. 

Improve your networking fight game in this “main event”!

    Confidently meet and greet new people in business settings.

    Further define Target Market to establish more and better connections.

    Deliver a “knock-out” elevator speech (not a script!).

    Generate more prospects and referrals from current client base.

    Leverage virtual meetings and online platforms.

    Establish important relationships generating more business opportunities.

Bottom line, networking is the most effective way to attract more prospects, more referrals, and more business to your corner. Remember - keep the left up!
