Stop Wasting Your Time

... with useless networking that doesn't grow your business and

​learn how to effectively cultivate profitable connections.

You've gone to networking events, have had countless of conversations about your business, met new people, exchanged business cards ... yet, you have no new clients to show for it. 

It's super frustrating. 

You spent all that time driving in aggravating traffic to an event and forcing yourself to have small-talk with complete strangers when you could have been spending precious time with your family.

BIG WASTE OF TIME.
 

Not only were you not able to get new business, but now you're getting annoying phone calls and emails from people that you don't care to associate with. 

"No, I don't want to buy your stuff, stop contacting me," you think to yourself as you keep dodging their invites to meet for coffee.

Networking might work for others, but it definitely doesn't work for you and you're ready to give up. 

But the fact that you're on this page and reading this, tells me I might have a small window of opportunity to make your life easier by walking you step-by-step through the process of how I built the largest network in the Valley, from scratch, and how you can replicate my model. 

The reality of the situation is that networking is one of the BEST ways to get new clients and grow your business. 

After 12+ years of being a professional networker and building a 42,000+ membership organization while simultaneously building and living my dream life, much due to my ability of knowing how to connect with the right people ... I've created a program to teach you how to do the same. 
​


If you're reading this, chances are it's because one or more of the following apply to you:

  • You know networking is good for business, but you don't know where to start

  • You don't enjoy networking, because let's face it, it's not everyone's favorite activity (but you NEED it)

  • Or maybe you do enjoy networking and connecting with people, but you have a hard time balancing your current commitments (work/family) and making time to attend events

  • If you can finally find the time, you don't know if those events will be worth your time. What is the ROI per networking event? 

  • You want to connect to the right people with the least amount of time WASTED

  • You want to establish referral partners that help you generate more leads and connections, but how?

  • You don't have a big marketing budget, so you need to optimize and maximize your marketing efforts

  • You need to either create and/or nurture your email list (existing clients and potential clients)
    ​
  • You know I can help you with all the above points, and more, but engaging with me 1:1 is not in the budget

You're on a journey and you need the fastest, most efficient, and budget friendly way to accomplish all of the above.

I got you! Welcome to Next-Level ​Networking 

Picture
By joining Next-Level Networking ... you receive guidance from me on all of the points mentioned above (and more) as well as consistent interaction with other successful business minds to exchange relevant information and form business/referral partnerships that can last a lifetime.

It's a networking group, mastermind and educational platform all in one.

Format.

Your monthly membership will allow you to join 3 calls a month. You can join all 3, or pick and choose the calls that you would like to participate in.

Three zoom (virtual) calls per month:

Three times a month, we will meet via zoom (virtual conference platform) for 1 - 1.5 hours (depending on how much we need to cover each week).

  • First call of the month will focus on a networking topic. 

  • Second call of the month will focus on a marketing topic.
     
  • Third call of the month will be an open forum discussion for participants to ask questions, discuss challenges, offer advice, connections and network/engage with each other. ​

All zoom calls will be highly interactive in order to allow participants to network and build professional relationships. 

After your first trial month, you will have the option of being assigned a networking buddy. The goal of a buddy system is to help keep each other accountable, offer assistance and share insight. 

Focus of the discussions will center around, but not be limited to the following topics ...
​

Networking Topics 
  • Highly strategic networking 
  • How to find the right events for YOU
  • Working the room
  • Following up after the event in order to build the relationship
  • Psychology of truly connecting with people
  • Using the networkingphoenix.com website to search/connect with people
  • What to talk about at networking events and how to share your story
  • How to properly ask people for a meeting 

Marketing
  • Knowing and owning your story
  • Creating an avatar for your ideal client
  • Building an email list (strategies, landing pages, etc)
  • Community building (beyond just the email list)
  • ​Creating content
  • Nurturing relationships
  • Your digital footprint
  • Discovering your niche and who resonates with you
  • Building your brand (speaking opportunities, podcast interviews, etc)


Open Forum Discussion

  • Third call of the month is an open forum discussion for participants to ask questions, discuss challenges, offer advice, connections and network/engage with each other.

  • Your questions will be answered by me, your peers, and you will forge the professional connections you're seeking.


Connections Call (Exclusive)
  • This is an exclusive call that is by invite only
  • Participants must have a deep knowledge base of networking in order to participate
  • My vision is that if you're not ready to start here, you will be able to "graduate" into this call after working with me
  • All topics revolving around high-level connections and are specific to the members of this exclusive group
  • When you get to the point that you're ready to participate in this call, I'll reach out individually​ ​​

​"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African Proverb

There are four simple goals ...

1. To create a platform for business owners and entrepreneurial professionals that understand the POWER of networking, in order to collaborate, learn and connect.

2. To be able to share my knowledge, insight and experience with those that want to learn from me and be guided by me in order to arrive at their goals faster.


3. To create a peer group that contributes to each other's success and holds each of its members accountable to achieving their highest potential. This can be a lonely journey, but no one should do it alone. 

4. To nurture this community and increase the level of success and lifestyle of every person involved.

What it's like to work with me ...

Picture
"Gelie brings her true authentic self to every situation.  She is personable and so extremely intuitive that she pulled the real me out of my guarded shell during our initial meeting – no small feat.  At the end of our meeting, I felt that I could call her my friend – she is not just a business colleague or networking connection.
 
Quality connections are key to success in my business. Gelie helped me put together a roadmap to network in the right places to connect to the people I need to meet.  She is generous and has personally introduced me to her friends and people in her network who are on my roadmap.  She is my advocate to get me in the right rooms to meet the right people – and she will go there with me.  Warm introductions are golden! 
 
I am excited to be working with Gelie and for her guidance and support.  Our time together has been so valuable!  Thank you, I love working with you, Gelie!"


-  Helen Jordan, Owner of Jordan Luxury Travel

"Gelie is the consummate professional! She demands attention in any public interaction, whether a networking event or meeting C-level executives to further your business.

She taught me how to work a networking event crowd for optimum efficiency while developing quality relationships with easy introductions. Gelie knows how to bring out the best in a business person. She has a true intuition with human behavior and help you better understand how to use your best qualities to develop longer lasting, more productive business relationships.

This has helped me personally to foster some tremendous personal friendships as a real bonus. Thank you Gelie for keeping it real, very real!"

- Dave Jackson, Owner of Jackson Insurance Group (a small business with exceptional customer experiences for our clients)

"I really love the authenticity that Gelie brings to the table in EVERY situation. Simply by being herself, she frees the people around her to do the same. And then, if you aren’t feeling comfortable in your skin, she will PULL it out of you in the best way. 

I really was inspired by how she taught me to market myself rather than focus on the brand of my previous employer. Focusing on being the physician I was meant to be really changed my ability to connect with people. I was getting more patients in my office simply because I believed in the message I was conveying. Thanks Gelie! Love working with you." 

-  Dr. Beth Bendokaitis, NMD

Connections in business, as in life, make the magic happen ...
