Christine Smith, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of riplEFX is a returning guest on SharpHR Career Corner. I love when Christine is on because we have such a great conversation on a number of topics. We cover college students and networking, ripLEFX for college students, shifting your mindset, jar of gratitude and so much more.

Learn about how being a member of riplEFX can give you an edge in today's world of marketing and networking.

Why is networking so important? Is networking something you do because you HAVE to, or is there a greater purpose?

Known as the Obi Wan Kenobi of networking and master community building, Christine Smith shares how to find success building relationships.

Do you enjoy networking? Probably not, but maybe you would consider looking at the art of networking in a different way. Networking can be a more sincere, intentional and genuine interaction with people rather than always looking for something from the other person. Listen to Christine Smith talk about riplEFX and see how she discovered a more purposeful way to get to really know people and interact with them.

Focus my young padawans. Networking...hard it is. Opening your meeting with a sales pitch is the path to the dark side…the sales pitch leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering sales margins. A true networker that wants to make the sale of a lifetime will give more than they take. What better person to explain this than the Obi-Wan Kenobi of Networking Christine Smith of riplEFX. Christine is a 4 to 4 Expert, an Intentional Networking Coach, a Debt Terminator, and a Process Strategy Consultant. Come and learn the ways of the force with this Networking master. 

I hear it ALL the time. Before COVID, people would attend all sorts of "networking" type events and experience what I like to call the Sales Vomiter. They were in ANY industry, often approached you first, would then introduce themselves, followed by asking who you were and before you could respond they were already telling you how amazing their products and services are, and how they will solve all of your problems. Yea, how did you feel about that?
