Build professional networks that generate sales opportunities
What you'll be able to do
•Build a referral and connection network deliberately instead of waiting for chance introductions
•Ask for and give introductions in a way that respects everyone's time
•Follow up after meeting someone so a first contact becomes an ongoing relationship
•Identify which existing relationships are most likely to lead to real opportunities
Who it's for
Salespeople who depend on referrals and relationships to generate pipeline, and reps who find networking events awkward or unproductive and want a more intentional approach.
What changes on the job
•A growing set of warm connections that produce introductions over time
•More opportunities sourced from your network rather than cold outreach
•Follow-through that turns one-time meetings into durable relationships

A self-paced lesson of roughly 18 minutes, part of the Selling Essentials track.
How is this different from the general networking courses in other tracks?
This one is aimed squarely at generating sales opportunities: sourcing referrals, working relationships toward pipeline, and asking for introductions. The professional-development networking courses focus on career growth more broadly.
Do I need to be an extrovert for this to help?
No. The course emphasizes deliberate, low-pressure habits and follow-up systems, which tend to help quieter sellers more than working a room does.
