Most marketing and business development professionals do not have a networking problem. They have a memory problem. The relationships that will drive your next pursuit, teaming partner, or conference success are already in your network. In this hands-on working session, you will use AI on your own LinkedIn data to find them, and you will leave with work products you can use the next morning. The method works on any relationship data you keep including LinkedIn or any other client dataset. Bring a laptop. Registrants will receive further instructions prior to the program.
