Melissa Giovagnoli’s Summary
Over 17 years of expertise 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. Additionally, we provide executive coaching for presidents of entrepreneurial companies and executives in transition. Coach at 6 Figure Jobs for the past three years.
We offer a unique, exclusive and cost-effective process to build leadership, sales and customer networks to grow revenue exponentially. Recently Crains named me the best networker in Chicago. I am also an author of eleven books, four of which 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.”
