"I attended David Makar’s ‘The Chamber is Your Goldmine’ seminar and I was thrilled to walk away with tools and ideas that will make me a stronger, more efficient networker. I have been networking my entire career and I still found myself hanging on his every suggestion. I learned after 25 years of sales and selling that even though we are excited and eager to make the sale, we never want to come across too aggressive. David told us ‘Never To Pounce’. He reminded us that the referral market is more about farming than hunting. I also learned that contrary to popular belief, Networking is more about helping others achieve their goals. I try to take the focus off the sale now, listen more and pass leads. This has been a tremendous help to me as I strive to reach my career goals!”
