The Personality of Lawrence

It is amazing that when he was  working as a young audit assistant in a public accountant firm many years ago, he wondered why certain staff partners played golf almost everyday when "technical" partners had to slot and sweat.

It was only after many years later that he realised that the staff partners were playing golf to network for business. They were the ones who bring in the businesses for the company.

Networking is a business game that must be played well. How a business fare depends on how well its top management play the business game.

That's why he become a founding member of Singapore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) to help his SME clients to network and build their businesses.
Invite Lawrence for Kopi for him to share with you how you can use SCCI to network for business.
