You are in business to solve problems. But if you don't know where your clients gather or what problem you solve, you won't be in business long.

In today's training Patti Keating will show you how to identify the problem you solve, determine exactly who your clients are, and uncover where they hang out, so you can get in front of people who want to solve their problem and are willing to pay you to help them.

I love this training. I'm excited that Patti will show us how to attract ideal clients!

Come prepared to work; this will be interactive and full of gems!!

Struggling to get referrals from your networking efforts? There's an easier way.

I Take the Lead proudly presents our first networking webinar of 2026 with special guest Veronika Noize (Ronnie,) one of our most-requested speakers who consistently delivers practical strategies that actually work.

In this brand-new presentation, Ronnie reveals her breakthrough "Referral Magnet Introduction," a 60-second framework that transforms how strangers perceive you and positions you as the go-to referral source in any room.

Here's what makes this introduction different: Instead of pitching your services (which causes eyes to glaze over), you'll learn to flip the script and make your audience eager to connect with you. The result? Referral partners approach YOU instead of you chasing them.

In this power-packed webinar, you'll discover:
• The exact introduction model that makes strangers want to send you referrals, starting with your very first networking event
• How to identify your ideal referral partners in any room within 60 seconds
• Key strategies from Ronnie's new 5-star book "Quiet Networking in a Noisy World" that turn networking into your most profitable marketing strategy
• Live Q&A to get your specific networking challenges answered

Your Exclusive Attendee Bonus: Show up to this live event and receive a complimentary copy of Ronnie's new networking book "Quiet Networking in a Noisy World" PLUS her special bundle of proven networking tools. (Bonus available to live attendees only—not available for replay viewers.)

We'll also be accompanied by Lynn Gray Vankka Merchant Management, LLC, long time member of i Take The Lead - always fun and witty!

Are you having back to back meetings, attending all of the networking events you can find, and getting burned out? Sometimes we don't see the value because we are spending LOTS of time with no apparent results.

That can happen. So we think networking is NOT working and quit!

But before you throw in the towel, take a step back and reassess your approach. Networking isn’t just about attending events and collecting business cards—it’s about building meaningful relationships and creating long-term opportunities. If you’re feeling drained and seeing little return on your efforts, it may be time to refine your strategy.

Here’s how to make networking actually work for you:
Be Selective – Not all networking events are created equal. Focus on groups and gatherings that align with your industry, target audience, or business goals. Quality over quantity will save you time and energy.

Follow Up and Stay Connected – Attending an event is just the first step. The real magic happens in the follow-up. Send a quick email, schedule a coffee chat, or connect on LinkedIn. Consistent communication is what turns acquaintances into valuable business relationships.

Give Before You Get – Networking is a two-way street. Instead of only looking for what you can gain, focus on how you can help others. When you become a resource, people are more likely to reciprocate.

Be Patient and Persistent – Strong networks take time to build. Keep showing up, nurturing connections, and adding value to your community. The results will come, but consistency is key.
