Like any business its now letting the public know who you are and where YOU are, because if they don't know you or can't find you, they can't do business with you.

 

So with the TIME invested in your marketing you need to make sure it PROACTIVE, Productive & Profitable.

 

Your business builds strong relationships that need to be maintained.

 

Step 1 - Getting connected: Your future customers needs to see you and get to know you and learn what you have to offer them.  Identify your target market and attend events and trade shows where they will be.

 

Step 2 - Be Prepared ALWAYS!:  You need prep time.  KNOW what to bring: have  at least 30 Business cards. KNOW your message ahead of time what you are going to say should you be invited to speak at the microphone. 

 

Speak with PASSION. People usually don't remember WHAT you say, but they remember how you made them FEEL.

 

Step 3 - You're at the event!: Wake up , not feeling well?, having a bad day?.  SUCK IT UP.  When you walk into a public room,  put on the smile, leave your baggage at home.  POSITIVE POSITIVE.

 

Don't blend in... Stand out. SMILE!  & Stand with confidence. People are watching.

 

Step 4  The fortune is in the follow up: You NEED to stay connected and top of mind to make your time profitable. A system of follow up is essential.  If you don't follow up, your competitor will.

 

You do need a monthly PERSONAL communication. Email is effective and the most affordable method. 

 

So Networking is just that WORK it's a fun work when you're prepared. Show up Early, Plan to stay late - MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME! 

 

Remember: How we do anything is how we do everything.
