It’s always who you know
I can teach you the secret to uncovering the hidden value in your network.
Whether you are business owner, salesperson or part of a large corporate organization, success thrives on a foundation of strong business connections. Finding and cultivating those connections is the role networking plays. Why do even the most seasoned professionals fail at networking? Because they don’t know how to connect with the right people, or how to turn those connections into profitable relationships.
That is the reason I created the Rob Thomas Method (RTM) of Networking. Over the course of my career in business development and relationship management, I perfected the process of turning “It’s nice to meet you,” into an interesting, productive and strategically focused method for cultivating business. The principles work for individuals who need to sell, as well as for those who need to gain support from stakeholders within a corporation.

Networking is the cornerstone of finding profitable business connections. Why do even the most seasoned professionals hate it? Because they don’t know how to find the best connections, or how to turn them into profitable and enjoyable relationships.

“Rob Thomas is an outstanding mentor and co-conspirator in my professional map for success. There are times professionally when we all lose sight of the key pillars of success along the path, and disregard our own intuitive guide, in favor of pursuing the ever changing landscape of sales. With his mentorship and matter-of-fact methodology, I’ve been able to harness my creative sales functions to singular tasks that make sense and add value to my prospecting. By nature, connecting to people is how I first developed my wings in advertising sales, and somewhere along the way, I departed from those core practices and started “pitching” my products or, as I call it, “opening the raincoat” and offering a smattering of overwhelming choices of what I thought my prospects wanted to buy. Well, with dedication and structured practices, Rob has helped me “flip that iceberg” so i spend 2/3 of my time making connections and only 1/3 of my time actually talking about my services and products. It has made all the difference!”
