The Society of Professional Consultants

The Society of Professional Consultants (SPC) is a professional development organization for consultants, solo professionals, and entrepreneurs. We offer networking, mentoring, and education for our members. The SPC facilitates virtual networking and workshops for both new and experienced consultants from around the world.

We encourage our members to collaborate, share best practices, and learn from each other. The SPC is not a referral network and we don't require our members to refer business to each other.

The SPC welcomes and encourages participation in our community by consultants of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. We are committed to promoting and sustaining a culture that values mutual respect, tolerance, and learning. Our standards of conduct page has more information about our policies and member responsibilities.

Remember to Wear Pants - Transitioning From
Virtual to In-Person Networking

The SPC and the Society for Women Environmental Professionals (SWEP) are partnering to bring you this workshop.

Business networking is back!

How will you connect with people at in-person events?

Dust off your business cards, hop in the shower, and put on grown-up clothes.

Then join us for a dynamic and interactive workshop where we’ll knock the rust off our Elevator Pitch. You’ll learn icebreakers for meeting new people and conversation starters for re-igniting dormant connections. Then we’ll do a live speed coaching round to polish your Elevator Pitch for in-person events.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a clear and concise Elevator Pitch that you can use immediately to meet the right people, strengthen relationships, and get better referrals.

You’ll also learn advanced techniques you can use to start business conversations, discover relevant connections, and inspire people to call you.

There's no charge for this workshop.

About Our Speaker:

Andrew Winig loves teaching. He thrives on the energy and excitement in a room where people are learning new skills. Andrew uses his improvisational, musical theater, and business backgrounds to make his virtual and in-person programs fun, entertaining, engaging, and practical.

Andrew found that the typical advice for creating an Elevator Pitch, studying attendance lists, collecting business cards, and following up didn’t lead to any referrals for his businesses. Over 8 years he applied his engineering mind to identify and test new skills in search of a simple approach that works consistently. His ground-breaking book “Elevator Pitch Handbook: The Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Conversations” condenses what he discovered into 51 readable pages that will forever change your approach to business networking.

Life is too short to sit through boring presentations, so Andrew is on a mission to change the way business people learn. He wants you to get better leads from your Elevator Pitch and shares his unique and effective techniques through email newsletters, virtual and in-person workshops, private coaching, and keynote speeches.
