What is success in networking? Is it coming home with a signed contract? Is it showing up for the Chamber of Commerce networking lunch? Something in between? It turns out, the measurement of achievement is something more personal. Join Debby (The Networking Guru) and Greg (The Reluctant Networker) as they respond to listener Ken Rates about how we can determine success in our networking practice.
