MC 2025 June Small Business Workshop: Effective Networking Techniques

Unlock the Power of Meaningful Connections
Effective Networking Techniques with Sharon Scott

Join us for an energizing and practical session led by Sharon Scott, owner of Fully Engaged and former President of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. Sharon brings years of real-world experience in relationship-building, business development, and strategic networking—and she’s ready to share what actually works.

This isn’t your average “pass out business cards and hope” kind of workshop. Sharon’s approach is built on intentionality, confidence, and value-driven communication—whether you’re a seasoned connector or still finding your stride.

You’ll learn:

• How to start conversations that go somewhere

• The #1 mistake even experienced professionals make

• Follow-up techniques that don’t feel awkward

• How to make the most of every Chamber event

Whether you're looking to grow your client list, build partnerships, or just stop dreading the phrase “networking event,” this session will give you tools you can put to work right away.

Ready to Invest, Connect, Engage—and actually Prosper?
This is your starting point.
