“Emmy Vickers teaches new, aspiring and seasoned professionals networking and relationship building techniques, and provides a platform in which to use those skills. What impresses me most, however, is that Emmy practices what she preaches in her own business model.  She is extremely organized and believes in the “follow up” necessary to move you from a business card pusher to a true networker.  I commend Emmy and would especially encourage those lacking the patience, knowledge or know-how, as well as those simply seeking to network in a new format, to reach out to Emmy Vickers and the Network to Net-Wealth™ team.”

“The difference between an Emmy Vickers networking event and other networking events is Emmy takes networking events to another level by mixing business and social aspects.  Attendees know they are there to make business acquaintances and to have fun.  By making her events social after the structured part of the event is over, gives attendees an opportunity to interact in a less serious nature, which is a great way to get to know a person.  At a typical networking event it’s all about business, which is fine and has it’s place, but in my opinion, getting to know someone on a personal and business level in one event is very beneficial as you get to know them in 2 ways!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Emmy Vickers and the Network to Net-Wealth™ business mixers/training she hosts.  Through my Meet-up group, DC-MD Small Business Owner Networking, I have partnered with Emmy for cross-promotion of several events.  Emmy does a phenomenal job of hosting events that appeal to a variety of networkers.  Ever the trainer, her events always include strategic networking tips to help those who are new to networking or those who want to strategically grow their referral partnerships.”

“As a speaker and trainer, Emmy is dynamic, engaging and adept at tailoring her presentation to fit the needs of her audience.  She’s also formed strategic alliances with national speakers whom she enlists to inspire, motivate and share business practices with the attendees of her events.  Everybody benefits from a Network to Net-Wealth™ event!”

What Dawn has taught me over the past 8 years is that effective networking is a process which takes time and effort. First, it begins with meeting as many people as you can, anyone and everyone. Next, it is important to narrow it down to people who truly understand the importance of mutually beneficial relationships. Finally, it’s crucial to do the work necessary to maintain and build your network.
