Learn how to use social media in the workplace.
Business networking is an effective and efficient way for business people to connect, develop meaningful relationships, and grow their businesses. These achievements don’t come through a direct sales approach, however. They come from being interested in helping others, in listening, and in purposefully meeting and introducing people to one another.
In this course, you will learn the essential ingredients for business networking, including in-person, people-centered connections and online spaces such as LinkedIn.
