Ever wonder why you can’t connect with some people when you’re at a networking event — especially those that may be younger or older than you?
For the first time in our history, there are four generations simultaneously in the workforce and marketplace. Each generation works, communicates and even conducts their networking very differently from each other.
Tim examines the differences in perspectives, motivation and attitudes between the 4 Generations and gets the conversation started with your audience. Tim teaches how to approach, communicate and effectively network with members of each generation in order to build stronger cross-generational relationships, more valuable contacts and profitable referrals.
Most business people do not have a strategy or plan to make their networking effective. They leave word-of-mouth to chance and merely hope to get referrals.
Based on material from his bestselling books No-Nonsense Networking, Leads to Referrals and The Referral Rules and material from his forthcoming book, No-Nonsense Networking, Tim Houston will teach you battle-tested networking techniques and referral marketing strategies that will help you to grow your business, increase your profile, build strong, new relationships and put more money in your pocket by generating qualified referrals. No fluff. No untried theories. No-Nonsense.
*Also available as a half-day Master Class or workshop.
Based on his #1 International bestselling book, The World’s Worst Networker, Tim Houston brings to life the true stories (and some true confessions) about the ways that some people conduct their business networking, online and offline. In this very uncensored, humorous program, Tim will share the stories and experiences about these nightmares of networking will teach you the definitive way of how not to network.

For nearly four years I have been waking up Wednesday's at 6 a.m. to attend my 7a.m. BNI Chapter meeting. Each week we have a speaker presenting from our chapter for approximately 10 minutes about their chosen profession. Every few weeks our Regional Director Tim Houston gives a ten minute or longer presentation on networking properly (it's really so much more than just networking properly). I don't believe I have ever heard him speak about the same topic twice.
He is always presenting educational, fact-based, and motivational lessons that every member admits has only made them better at being a presenter themselves and therefore more confidant and successful. Tim's enthusiasm and yes enunciation of key points helps remind you that there are crucial techniques to being an effective speaker and as importantly when to be an even better listener while engaging with a prospective client. Important to mention is that he cites examples from his own experiences that so many can relate to. It really draws you in to a "hey that's happened to me too" experience. Sometimes I will hear his advive as "the little voice in the back of my mind" as I approach someone I have never met and believe I may be able to eventually do business with. It all starts somewhere and in many ways Tim gives you that confidence to take the first and most important step forward, stand tall, and speak with a smile in your voice.
Tim's "refusing to participate in a recession", motivational speeches and now a best selling author, wow, and not just writing about any rehashed networking topic either. The Worlds Worst Networker explains common pitfalls and will help even the most seasoned speaker. You will need to purchase the book (shameless plug) as I have to understand... or I could go on for a real long time writing.
Funny that others are now paying to learn what Tim has taught me over the years, I feel very fortunate and look forward to his further teachings.

I recently attended Get Connected 2011, a networking conference in Houston, Texas, where Tim Houston was one of the featured speakers. His topic on how to become "Productive, Profitable & Prosperous" was an amazing presentation. His energy on stage keeps his audience on the edge of their seats while he delivers a powerful message....he really "connects" with his audience. I highly recommend Tim as a speaker for your next conference.
