SKIRTworking: How to Network Using SKIRT

The careers of Michelle Alberda, Michelle Balog, and Stacey Fleece all began at different times, but they came together over seven years ago when they began honing their business networking skills and building on referrals. These savvy women wanted to capitalize on this networking power exponentially, while teaching other small businesswomen the techniques to accelerate their business growth. The idea for SKIRTworking was born out of this collective desire. After reading this book, you will develop the skills to: Build your business entirely through networking by capitalizing on contacts you already have in your database. Effectively use women's natural relationship-building skills to take your career to the next level and beyond. Expand your production in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. Develop and manage your own networking group to support and help others grow in their business.

With combined experience of nearly 40 years in the financial services and real estate industries, Ms. Alberda, Ms. Balog and Ms. Fleece founded the women s networking group, SKIRT, in June of 2005. All three women reside in the San Francisco Bay Area and are award-winning, recognized leaders in their chosen fields. In addition to their professional successes and SKIRT, they are all active leaders in philanthropic and community organizations.
