Peach · Strategic Networking
Slow down and finish faster.
Strategic networking for Sales Engineers: walk into any room and leave with real opportunities — without being salesy.
Hook clip (placeholder)
“I have a particular set of skills…” — but Peach-style: authority without pitching.
We’ll swap this for Apryl’s actual clip when ready.
Primary CTA
Book a 1:1
That’s where the magic happens: we build your room strategy, your 30-second commercial, and your follow-up system.
Secondary CTAs (talks, waitlist, coaching) can live below.
Strategic Networking in 4 easy steps
A simple system you can run every time. Slow down, then finish faster.
1 · Prep
Know your currency
- Who you can introduce
- What opportunities you can open
- What credibility you carry
- What information you can share
- What you can sponsor / host
Divide the room: Buyers · Partners · Amplifiers.
2 · 30-sec commercial
Say it clean
- Who you are
- What problem you solve
- Who you want to meet
- Tagline / CTA
3 · Engagement
Ask the right questions
Start with: “It’s nice to see you.” Then:
- Who is a good strategic partner for you?
- How do you find new logos / projects / partners?
- Do you belong to any professional networking organizations?
- How can I help you?
4 · Follow-up (1:1)
24-hour rule
- Email or call within 1 business day (don’t lose inertia)
- Rules of engagement
- How we communicate
- What value I bring to you
Philosophy
Osmosis matters.
You have the potential impact the livelihood of everyone you support, work with, and touch — even indirectly. Strategic networking is not manipulation. It’s responsibility.
Why me
Coached by people who live this
Just enough teaser to prove lineage — without giving away the secret sauce.
Primary coaches (teasers)
Rodger Blaker
Taught me one change that doubled my income in less than a year. (I’m not giving away the whole move — but I’ll teach you the principle.)
Debbie Mrazek
The bar I aspire to — a phenomenal speaker, a woman in tech, and a motivator who moves rooms.
Jeff Klein
My sounding board. Every great idea I’ve had in tech for 20 years — he’s been part of it. He’s in my DNA.
Coach Hess
Teaching me how to maneuver this new version of me in a world consumed with AI — and keep the human in the human experience + technology.
Want the deeper story? That’s what the 1:1 is for.
