Hi Sri
Thank you for sending me the very helpful program, “5 Simple Ways to Network Successfully”. I received it in time to go through it before attending a “Speed Networking” event, and it proved to be very useful.
Again, many thanks.
Best regards,

Because of discovering your website and getting the ideas to really change about the way I approach potential business contacts, it has helped me as well on a personal level over the past 6 months. The amazing amount of people I have met and the opportunities have been greater than you can imagine. If I ever venture into my dream of doing freelance writing fulltime, then I feel I have a wonderful network of people behind me that will support me, speak for me and be referrals for me.
Thank you again for your very accessible website!
Thank you for your consistent follow-up. Your advice has been great. I just need to incorporate the strategies more consistently. I really appreciate your ideas and experience. Keep it coming!

Thank you so much for the wealth of information. Right now I am mapping out my next move as far as career wise.
The information that I have received gives me something to think about. I guess I could actually call it food for thought, if you will.
Sri, how did you know that this was your calling? Or do you consider what you are doing your calling? Right now I am at a stand still as to my calling.
Thanks for your help.

The information is helpful and encouraging and I am thankful for the time you are taking to offer it to us –J
Hi Sri
I enjoy reading your articles – they are of real help.
In reality it is all so simple, but it is great to have someone spell it out. I find your explanations very logical and they are full of something that is lacking these days – common sense!
I think I will buy your book
Thanks again

I read quickly through the five lessons, and will definitely read them again more slowly.
I recognized the mistakes I have made in the past when I have attended leads groups and other networking events, and you made so clear how to correct those mistakes.
I have several events coming up in my specific area of interest, and will be sure to keep your tips in mind.
Thank you for one of the most informative series of this type I have ever received.
It was particularly helpful that they were short and quick to read. I’m always overwhelmed by a lack of time when I start a new project, so if the articles had been too long, I would never have read them.
Thanks one more time,
Cheri
Hi Sri,
Many thanks for the five lessons, I found them most useful. Having recently started up in business for myself after many years as a policeman I am finding life very ‘different’ as you may expect.
The tips you give in those five lessons were most enlightening.
My thanks again,
Barry.
Wonderful information, and great action steps!

Hi Srirupa,
I have only worked on Lesson #1 and it already hit the nail on the head for me.
I didn’t realize how vague I was being in my networking attempts until now and I have worked out a different focus. I now know that what I was doing was only half of the task. I’m a network marketer and I was giving out catalogs and making a personal connection with people and have made it very easy for people to contact me but I wasn’t getting their contact information so I have not been able to follow up my efforts.
That will all change now, thanks to you. I am looking forward to working on lesson 2.
