"Networking is a hot topic in the training world today, and our staff at George Mason University asked for classes on the subject. After reading many books and doing a lot of research in order to create our own class, we decided that Contacts Countoffered us the best practical information on networking for our environment. Lynne Waymon, one of the authors, was very easy to work with. She answered the phone personally and provided such excellent service that we decided to license her material and hold a train-the-trainer class so that we would be certified to teach Contacts Count. Lynne met with us personally to train us and approve our organization of the material. She was always helpful, answering all of our questions and providing examples to help us build our customized "Networking at its Best" series. Why reinvent the wheel when an excellent wheel is available? Contacts Count proved to be a wonderful partner!" Lori Roth, Director, Training & Development, George Mason University
