Building and Keeping Relationships That Count 
Presented by Andy Ebon, The Wedding Marketing Authority

Friends, connections, contacts, memberships are just some of the buzzwords used in networking. Whether on Facebook, at a local networking group, on a phone call, over dinner or attending a national conference, you are developing and maintaining relationships. Building and keeping relationships is the lifeblood of successful professionals.

Lately, with the advent of warp-speed communication and new social media, the lines have become blurred. Often texting is confused with having a real conversation, telephone conference calls substitute for face-to-face meetings, or one-time acquaintances become ‘friends’ or ‘connections’ online.

With infinite methods of connecting and finite time to connect, one must understand the purposes and styles of relationships. At the opening session, Andy Ebon will hold up a mirror to our collective patterns of action, and help each of us examine and clarify our various business and personal relationships.

Be there for a little soul searching, contemplation, and the occasional in-your-face wake up call.
