Melissa Giovagnoli’s Summary
Over 17 years of expertise providing social networking strategy consulting and implementation in organizations such as Motorola, BF Goodrich, AT&T, American Express, Medtronic, CNA, UBS and hundreds of emerging companies looking to build key account relationships with large organizations, innovate new products or build their brands through social networking.
We offer a proven process for improving sales or marketing performance using the science of building networks. We also apply our process to helping companies prevent brand erosion. Recently Crains named me the best networker in Chicago.
Author of eleven books (now working on book twelve), four that have hit best-seller lists, including Networlding: Building Relationships and Opportunities for Success of which I named my company after and which was #10 on Amazon (in Chicago) for a year.
Our mission continues to be supporting socially responsible organizations and leaders to create "the greatest good for the greatest number."
I value connecting with people and working with them to make a difference for them, their organizations and their communities. To that end, I have developed these simple guidelines for connecting with me:
1. Email your request to melissa@networlding.com;
2. Tell me how you hope to benefit from our relationship; and what you would like to offer for support in return.
3. Set aside a few minutes for us to have a phone conversation.
I will talk with anyone, but prefer those who seriously network to those who simply collect "LinkedIn connections.”
*Ask about our world-class social media implementation team. We have one of the largest implementation teams in the U.S.
Currently licensing the Networlding program, certifying top business leaders to facilitate and coach the process. We now have licensed facilitators in Omaha, Columbus, Phoenix and Indianapolis. If you are interested in getting licensed contact me.
