Have you ever felt a little “reluctant” when it comes to
networking? I know I have. As an introvert, it can be daunting to
go out and do the whole networking thing. It feels awkward and
sometimes forced.
My guest, Greg Peters,
totally understands. A computer programmer by training, Greg was
the original reluctant networker. Through study, practice, and lots
of trial and error, he has been able to transform himself into a
true networking professional, using the skills he learned to build
a thriving Web development business.
Now, as the co-founder
of Third Generation Networking, Greg coaches individuals, trains
staff, and presents to associations and other groups on how to get
past their reluctance and start building better connections and
stronger networks.
Greg is a past Chapter
President of the National Speakers Association, the author of HELLO
AND A HANDSHAKE: A RELUCTANT NETWORKER’S GUIDE TO SURVIVAL AND
SUCCESS AT YOUR NEXT BUSINESS GATHERING, and the co-host of the
THIRD GENERATION NETWORKING PODCAST.

in sell mode.In this episode, Greg reveals a great secret that
helps him make connections from the stage for his speaking
