Networking Coach

Who are the people behind Networking Coach? What motivates them to help people and organisations to network better?

The name of the founder of Networking Coach is Jan Vermeiren.

Jan Vermeiren is the founder of Networking Coach and Europe's foremost expert when it comes to networking and referrals. According to HR Tribune he is one of Belgians top 10 speakers.

Besides that he is also regularly interviewed about networking and referrals by different media like Belgian national television (De Zevende Dag, Lichtpunt), newspapers, magazines (Forbes), job sites (Vacature.com, Jobat) and the magazines of several Chambers of Commerce.

Jan is the author of the networking books "Let's Connect!" and "How to REALLY use LinkedIn", the networking CD "Let's Connect at an event!" and the "Everlasting Referrals Home Study Course".

Both "Let's Connect!" and "How to REALLY use LinkedIn" were best sellers on the US website of Amazon.com. This made Jan the first Belgian author to reach this position. In the Netherlands the Dutch version of "How to REALLY use LinkedIn" reached the number 1 position on the website of Managementboek.nl.

Jan is also a guest lecturer in the international MBA programs of Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School (Belgium) and RSM Erasmus University Rotterdam (the Netherlands).

Our Master Trainer is Bert Verdonck.

Bert Verdonck is a living example of what networking is all about. Next to that he is an inspiring and humorous speaker and trainer.

Bert teaches people how to be more comfortable when networking and how to get results from networking, whether it is online (on LinkedIn and other business networks) or offline (receptions, mixers, conferences, fairs and other networking events).

Next to delivering practical networking training courses and personal coaching, Bert also hosts the Networking Coach webinars together with Jan.

Besides Jan and Bert there is a whole team of trainers, actors and coaches.

Why focus on Networking?

Jan noticed in his professional career and in his private life that lots of people are looking for ways to become more successful (you may have your own idea of what "success” means in your own situation).

Most people and organisations look right over what’s lying right there under their noses: the networks they already belong to. Instead they look around for expensive and complex solutions. Just by paying attention to these networks, by mapping them and then taking action, every individual and every organisation can make big leaps forward.

Moreover, the team of Networking Coach gives you tips and advice on how to deal with your contacts in an easy and pleasant way. This can even be reinforced by using the software that is available to every one.

So, networking can be made more fun and more successful!

Nice to know: the Networking Coach team has been selected by LinkedIn to be the first worldwide certified LinkedIn training partner for their LinkedIn Live sessions.
