It’s happened to all of us. You are at a networking event and someone walks up to you. You know the face, but you couldn’t say their name to save your soul. What do you do? Join Greg and Debby as they discuss the challenges they’ve faced and some of the solutions they’ve found that seem to have worked for them. Thank you to Kristin Meyer and Colleen Tankoos of the Maumee Chamber for the ideas that sparked this conversation.
