Train your people to know more people
We teach professionals how to turn contacts into colleagues
“Keep your network warm at all times” is outdated advice. In today's workplace, one must have the ability to convert strangers into allies on an as-needed basis.
Informational meetings are the single best tool for accomplishing this, yet few employees are ever trained to effectively utilize them. This skill is what helps personnel earn promotions, sell new business, and acquire knowledge, benefiting both employee and employer.
I’m Steve, founder and CEO of Contact2Colleague, a corporate training firm that helps organizations increase retention, drive sales, and develop internal expertise by teaching their employees to proactively and systematically build better professional relationships.

Strategic Benefits
Better talent retention
Well-connected employees are happy employees. They tend to perform better, stay longer, and get promoted more often. Informational meetings will help them both better integrate into new teams and make the teams they join stronger.
Improved sales
Sales pitches—both delivering and hearing—make many potential clients uncomfortable. An easier way to interest potential clients is to listen. Despite this, few are ever trained how to do so. Teach your team members to listen systematically to better engage potential clients and leave a positive impression with all they encounter about your organization.
More institutional knowledge
So much expertise exists only in employees’ heads. Investing extensively in online knowledge management is one option, but a far more affordable one is simply teaching your employees to ask smart people who’ve solved similar problems in the past how they did so. Help your talent leverage the knowledge of both teammates and external experts to achieve maximum results.
“Employees who can consistently turn strangers into advocates will always be ready for what happens next.”
– Steve Dalton, CEO of Contact2Colleague
