- Business Development Training - How to Beat the Fear of Meeting People
Recently I presented a business development training session at a conference. The audience were managers from all across Australia. I gave them a 2-minute break and asked them to get up and talk amongst themselves. It can get scary when we have to meet new people.But – from a business development perspective – it is extremely selfish when we are not brave enough too reach out to people we don’t know.
