Cohort-based Course

We live in a digital-first world now. 4-week sprint to get more opportunities, clients, or partners faster. Principles, skills, & processes.

Course overview

Are you future-proof for the digital-first world?

Think of networking as a way to make valuable connections for future opportunities. In the past, it meant meeting people in person. Now, it starts online, before any virtual or in-person meetings.


This course teaches you how to excel at digital networking, which can lead to fantastic chances. E-networking is a skill you develop with practice. In parallel, you also build your professional online presence, starting on a platform like LinkedIn.


One new connection, a referral, a relevant comment, or a shared post can open doors for exciting opportunities.


This approach will work for you even if you don't like to stand out or brag, are an introvert, or don't like writing.


This 4-week sprint course is for you if you are:

01

Early-stage B2B founder, responsible for founder-led sales and business development. Networking also helps you get partners and employees.

02

Business developer or a career-shifter with a weak online professional identity. Forming digital-first relationships is not easy for you.

03

The same principle applies to any in-person networking event.

        Jasna gave me the confidence to develop business and attract potential clients from the comfort of my own home. I was reluctant to announce it on LinkedIn I will be speaking at SMARTCITY EXPO. After just a few posts I got invited to women networking event and secured another speaking opportunity at World Future Energy Summit.

        I thought I was above average in networking online, but Jasna helped me in places where I didn't even realize I needed help. Through her clear course presentation, she was able to offer the insight and tools to raise my efforts another notch. It just goes to show you can teach old dogs new tricks. Thanks, Jasna.

        I have been one of these digitallydead people Jasna talks about. I never thought a whole new world will open to me when I polished my LinkedIn presence, started to digitalize my network, and publish on LinkedIn before heading off to Anuga, Cologne, the world's leading trade fair for food and beverage.

        Jasna’s course comprises simple, effective, and straightforward strategies and worksheets with the tools I needed to help grow and monetize my network, nurture my clients, and connect me with insider expertise from established professionals in my industry. Networking and “virtual events” in a post-covid world have changed. Preparation is key.

        When I took Jasna's masterclass I realized I was barely scratching the surface of what it means to be successful in the digital world. Jasna gave me a deeper understanding of the importance of online presence to foster new collaborations, digital communities, and professional online identity building, especially related to virtual events.

        My collection was supposed to be shown at Milan Furniture Fair that has been canceled. I've been procrastinating in building my network and professional identity on LinkedIn. Jasna pushed me out of my comfort zone to share my work beyond my website. One post was enough to be contacted by an editor of a magazine that I would never reach otherwise.

Helping scale-ups & startups with go-to-market, launch, and growth | #LinkedInLocal host

Hi! I'm Jasna, on this mission to help digitally invisible experts, founders, and creators.


Working in scale-ups and startups has enabled me to design a repetitive process of infiltrating any market, globally or locally, launching more than 20 new products in 7 different industries in B2B and B2C. Building your professional brand can be one of the very efficient ways to research new market opportunities or just start selling.


I bring years of hands-on experience exhibiting and coordinating business development, sales, and marketing at world-leading tradeshows such as CES, Integrated Systems Europe, ICE London, Embedded World, spoke at IFA and ISE, and did business development at Orgatec, RedDot, and distributors' roadshows through the US and UK. In my career, I have also organized 100s events, and I have mastered the LinkedIn Events feature.


When I'm not teaching, I freelance as a go-to-market designer. 



If I'm online, I'm probably on LinkedIn. Stop by and say Hi. Join me for e-networking and virtual networking practice on free mini-workshops.
