Business and Beer - Presented by Startup Women NC
Old-school networking. New-school thinking. Always on tap.
Business and Beer is your new favorite throwback to when deals were made over drafts, and ideas flowed as freely as the pours.
Each session packs 40 minutes of sharp, practical business wisdom- served casually, not corporate. It’s totally free and open to anyone: the business-minded, the business-curious, and the business-adjacent.
This month's session is "Follow-up Magic for More Wins, Referrals & Relationships," presented by Annie Franceschi.
When cultivating your network and growing your business, having a clear, confident way to describe what you do and how to connect with you can make all the difference. At our April meeting, join us to learn from a former Disney storyteller exactly how to follow up fast and turn new connections into authentic lifelong relationships and referrals, just like magic!
