Testimonials

"We attended several Networking Extravaganzas. While at the 2008 event, we met several professionals and afterwards followed up with many of them. From it, we gained a new client, Customized Insurance Services. They are still a client and it has been a great partnership. The return on our investment from attending the event was temendous with this client. They have also been a great testimony to us and our work."

The GCNE is an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded contacts that appear to be looking to connect rather than sell a produce/service. I was impressed with the structure of the topics presented by Jason and Lillian. The event was very well attended, and I recommend it for 2011.

The GCNE was a fantastic networking event that brought in numerous professionals from various industries. I was able to not only take away great networking tips and strategies from Jason and Lillian, but to gain many great leads and networking partners. I was even able to establish a partnership with another sponsor, developing a combined service that takes advantage of our two firms' expertise. Surely I will be in attendance next year!

You have a total package that sets you apart. You provide relevant information, structured exercises, opportunities to meet new people and to practice what is being taught in a very comfortable, yet realistic, environment. Thank you for reminding me how important it can be to move outside my comfort zone to find solutions.
