Chamber University: Little Black Book presented by Grand Canyon University

Have you ever wondered how to take that random business card you received at a networking event and turn it into a new client? “Little Black Book” is an interactive session that discusses the ins and outs of networking, how to achieve the most from attending a networking event, and the steps to take in order to continue building relationships with potential new partners. Attendees will learn the basics of networking, how to work through the room and maximize contact-building, and most importantly, how to turn those that you casually met while networking into business partners, contacts, and customers.
