What was the main thing you learned about creating and maintaining business relations from attending a networking seminar?
Anders Ostlund,
business owner
“Trust is the one most important thing.
If you have trust with people, then you can ask questions, you can get closer in the relationship, you can share information, create projects, expect them to deliver on whatever you deliver.”
Yuriy Golovinov,
director
“At this seminar, I heard one very important thing: that in order to create your network of business relations you have to have an open mind.
In my opinion this is the most important thing besides the training you can receive. An open mind is crucial and quite difficult for us.”
Ivan Alyokhin,
managing partner
“The most important thing is to be interested in other people and to offer them something back.
Here at the seminar I learned about different methods of developing network of contacts, behavioral methods for events where people meet by their social and business interests.”
Khrystyna Mnykh,
business development director
“I think it’s important to meet people at events other than networking, like exhibitions and other popular events.
To promote yourself, so that people recognize you, this plays an important role. Here [at the seminar] I like the informal atmosphere, which is very important, because people can open up.”
Nataliya Sokolovska,
managing partner
“I remember that when Americans were asked who Russians were, they used to call them “closed bears.” This was surprising to me, but it’s fair.
Unfortunately we are concentrated on ourselves. We’re not open and therefore those kinds of seminars can teach us a lot.”
