"I have already put my training into practice. I have used your techniques with my existing internal network and have found that I am being received very well by colleagues and suppliers, particularly being conscious of my "anti-rapportising." The very next day, I was introduced to a few key customers, whom I had never met, two weeks later we already have a relationship where we can ring one another for information.
