About the Creator

Hi, I'm Benj - this is me ages ago, just after uni, travelling the world on a shoe string. Like a lot of people I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I did lots of things, I worked in wine shops, I worked for charities, I herded goats, I tried to launch a business on the world wide web... in 1996. That failed! But I developed a work ethic and attitude which has stood me well. In 2001 I launch a consulting business - my partner was a real consultant, I was giving it a go. My main role was business development. It was here I worked out I was good at networking and relationship selling. Its something I was born to do. I now run workshops for services companies learning about realationship and consultative selling, as well as help people between jobs learn the skills to get themselves in the right place to get a job.

”
I've never been a fan of networking and I'm not sure I've ever really truly understood it's value. This course helps you understand what it can do for you, gives practical advice on how to approach it and gives you the confidence to go out and build your own network. Would highly recommend.

”
I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course. Its structure was clear and made a lot of sense from the outset. It outlined key ideas and principles, followed by some tangible & actionable ideas to improve your networking ability. I especially enjoyed the parts where former course participants gave real-world examples, and the stories from Benj were great at bringing the principles to life. I would highly recommend this course and have already shared it amongst my own network.
