You're writing, you're pitching, you're hustling your butt off—it finally pays off and you score: The General Meeting. What the heck is that and what is expected of you? Should you expect to pitch your projects? Ask industry questions? How much small talk is too much small talk?

This 90-Min. Webinar Covers:
- What a general meeting is
- How you get one
- How to pitch/when to pitch in the meeting—reading the room!
