This video is between Sara Schreiber and Nicole Ivelevitch* and was created for training purposes, teaching you how to have genuine networking calls.

Some pointers:

• Ask questions about the other person first, and ask them follow up questions, highlighting how their services are valuable and thinking seriously about who you could refer to their practice.

• Make it as conversational as possible and try to relate about real life stuff. You'll see we related to each other around having kids of our own (it was a bit exaggerated here, I will admit - you don't need to go over the top in reaction the way I did lol)

• At the end talk about follow ups to the call, sending each other resources you talked about, groups you're running, next steps after your call

• And then actually send them a follow up email with that information!

*Nicole, who is the other therapist in this video, is the practice manager at Sara's group practice, Collaborative Minds Psychotherapy LLC, and sees individual clients and runs a group at the practice as well.
