What Andrea Nierenberg Talks About:

 

The Nierenberg Networking Method
After moving to New York, where Andrea Nierenberg knew no one, she networked her way to 1,500 new business contacts. Now, based on the principles she learned, The Nierenberg Group speaks to businesses around the world about why networking is the most powerful business development tool you can have.

 

What's the secret? It comes from a simple strategy of finding out how to be a giver through networking. How many trade shows or business events have you noticed people only focusing on their own personal gain from meeting new people? What The Nierenberg Group will show you is how to visualize ways to make a positive first impression that has the potential to turn into lifelong business relationships.

 

Overcoming Obstacles to Great Customer Service
What would you do if you were in a car accident, broke 38 bones, and were lying flat on your back in intensive care? Would you call the client you were on your way to see, and apologize for missing the meeting? That's exactly what Andrea Nierenberg did. Most of us never have that type of dramatic situation affect customer communications. However, when on-the-job obstacles and issues in our personal lives pop-up, our enthusiasm for delivering consistent exceptional service to our clients can be compromised. We need to know how to process things 'real-time.' Overcoming Obstacles to Great Customer Service is a must see for managers and their staff who know that handling difficulties in healthy and productive ways is a major key to setting themselves apart from their competition.

 

Business Relationships that Last
After three years of rejection, a conservative securities business became one of the Nierenberg Group’s biggest customers. The call finally came for a single project. That single project turned into 30 projects all across the company. How did it happen? By always remembering the person who initially got us in the door and nurturing each and every relationship we formed thereafter. In this keynote The Nierenberg Group will demonstrate how to bond with customers, before, during, and after the sale
