8-week virtual course designed for the business owner and
solopreneur who does his/her own marketing, lead generating,
networking and sales. Foundational concepts of Relationship
Marketing are the focus of this course.
NEXT SESSION STARTING WED, MARCH 17th [limited spots]
The biggest challenge most business owners face is lack of proper marketing.
In the world of those who network in order to generate leads ...
Marketing includes:
A shocking amount don't understand who their "Avatar" is. They think they know who their "ideal client" is, but the reality is most of them have a bare minimum understanding. And to no fault of their own ... they know their business and their trade; not marketing.
This course was developed after being repeatedly asked to help solve the same marketing and networking challenges by members of my networking community ...
"Gelie, where do I meet the right people?"
"Gelie, how do I get them to respond to my emails."
"Gelie, how did you build a network of over 40,000 ... and can you help me with networking?"
I put together this comprehensive 8-Week course that answers all the above questions and more.
The psychological and marketing aspects of what "networking to grow your business" actually looks like.
The proper term for this is "Relationship Marketing."
But now we're dealing with another challenge ... due to COVID, most of us haven't been to an in-person event since Spring.
My prediction is that 2021 will see very similar trends, and it's my intention to give my community the best tools possible to shine at what I'm dubbing: Digital Networking.
This course is designed for those that network in order to generate leads.
It's not as simple as showing up on a zoom call and checking off the "networked for the week" box.
Real networking requires time, patience and a deep understanding of people.
After all, when it comes to networking, you're dealing with people -- not businesses -- it always comes down to people. So if you don't like people, this whole networking thing might not be your best option :)
I launched NetworkingPhoenix in January of 2008, during the economic crisis, and quickly grew my own network to over 40,000 local members.
This wasn't an accident.
It was a lot of hard work and understanding my clients better than they understood themselves.
I provided them with real, authentic, genuine value that helped them sleep better at night and most importantly -- make money.
The 8-Week course is designed to help you grow your own network, client base and presence.
When executed properly, your network will be one of your best referral sources.
If you find yourself resonating with any of the above and you'd like to truly understand the ins-and-outs of how to turn perfect strangers into paying clients ...
... then, I invite you to join my course.
In the world of those who network in order to generate leads ...
Marketing includes:
- Knowing your ideal client
- Knowing where to find them
- Understanding of how to engage the prospect
- Having techniques to build a relationship with a perfect stranger
- And ultimately, being on top of mind so that they remember you when they are ready to buy

8-weeks at a glance ...
Week 1: Meet everyone in the group. These people will be your "networking buddies" along the way. We will also experientially learn the "template" conversation to have with anyone in order to authentically connect.
--
Week 2: Arguably the most important lesson of this session ... defining your Customer Avatar.
If you don't have your customer clearly defined, you won't know which events to attend, how to speak to your potential clients (face-to-face and via email), how to set up your LinkedIn page, etc etc. Creating your customer Avatar is not as easy as you'd think. Participants will have the opportunity to be in a hot seat.
"The avatar focuses on one person and outlines everything about them. It goes into much greater depth than a regular marketing persona, providing marketers with many more targeting tools.”
--
Week 3: How to stand out on zoom calls and be memorable.
After visiting countless other organizations' virtual networking calls, hosting my own since March and observing many of you in the break out rooms ... I had a total "Aha!" moment.
I compiled the best of the best tips on how to stand out and be remembered and will share with you on this call.
--
Week 4: How to create engaging social media posts on any platform.
The "secret" to this is writing your post in an "Episodic" storytelling technique.
You've heard me talk about the importance of sharing your story over and over ... but how do you do it in a way to establish an immediate emotional connection with your audience?
Your story posts will resonate with the people you need to serve the most. By the time this 8-Week is over, you will have your core story completed along with an understanding of how to create future social media posts.
--
Week 5: How to write and structure individual prospecting emails and LinkedIn messages that get a response.
Most of us are not copywriters ... but in order to write the kind of emails to actually move your prospects to take action, you need to step into the copywriter role.
Various templates and sample emails will be shared along with subject lines and sequence of when follow up emails should be sent.
--
Week 6: Continuation of week 5's topic, hands-on.
Participants will be asked to volunteer for hot-seats and submit emails geared at potential clients/referral partners so we can optimize the emails as a group.
This exercise is a favorite amongst the participants because we go through the entire process as a group, hands-on.
--
Week 7: Gone, are the days of your LinkedIn being a "resume to the world."
Your LinkedIn profile is your brand's mini-landing page. We will go over the formula in order to re-create your Linkedin profile and cover what's trending on LinkedIn RIGHT NOW.
LinkedIn participating has gone up over 55% since COVID, so you no longer have the option to NOT have an optimized profile.
--
Week 8: How to properly communicate with your connections via mass email platforms (ie - Mailchimp) in order to establish/deepen/nurture relationships and generate new business.
This is one of the most important parts of the process as this is where you generate sales.

I wasn't quite sure whether the 8-week Networking Certification was for me however it's a great value so I decided to jump in and take part!
It has exceeded my expectations - I learned something new in every class and have lots of action items to work on to refine my networking efficiency. Our group was incredibly diverse in terms of industry, however Gelie was able to instantly hone in on the exact issue that needed addressing as she worked through real-life examples for each of us. Whatever your experience to date, you'll learn how to be better at networking and have more fun doing it! - Jane Wotton, Founding Regional Leader of Neal's Yard Remedies |

I'm a good poster child for your tutelage! Happy to write recommendations and or speak at events in your behalf. Love working with you. - Rick Daugherty, Principal Architect & Owner of 3rd Story |

Gelie’s networking formula just makes sense. What she provided was an enormous amount of tools to use, not only at events, but leading up to, and after events as well.
You want to MEET that ONE PERSON who you think will open doors for you? Gelie teaches you how to do that. It’s about being the most interesting person in the room and she GIVES YOU the formula! Gelie is incredibly interested in the success of all her students. Not only did she review content and the HOW TO of connecting in a real way, she offered courses that helped out with our social media content, telling meaningful stories and how to construct an email that people will actually open! Sign up. I promise it will make a difference in your business and in your life. - Phaedra Earhart, Regional Sales Manager Alpha Video Surveillance |

Simply, Gelie gets it. She helps entrepreneurs because she is one and lives in our world every day.
From a marketing and communications standpoint her training is unique because everything you learn you use on a regular basis; she just helps you do it better and more effectively. I highly recommend her training and networking groups. Time and money well spent. - Robert Grossman, Financial Representative at John Driscoll & Company, Inc. |

The program is for the solopreneur that is at the beginning of their journey ... to well on their way in their journey. There is something for everyone that can flip the light bulb and jump start you to your next level.
Did I mention the confidence building and the team building that was absolutely amazing? I am working with 2 of my program teammates on a business level now and have made connections that I know I can call on and count on! Love our group and love Gelie! I would highly recommend! - Schanell McCoy, All Things With Love |
