Networking Terms: Educating the Client

It is very important to educate your small business prospects and clients on key small business networking terms and buzzwords. After all, in order to win them over, you need to be speaking the same language. In fact, you may even want to prepare a cheat sheet, based on the below definitions, to help you in your prospect and client pre-sales activities.
