Connections are so POWERFUL

We do business with those we know and trust.

These Networking tips can help you to create meaningful connections to grow your network and in turn grow your business..

1. GIVE more than you get

Networking is a bit like KARMA, what you put in, will come back to you. It may not come back from your direct connections, but from their connections, or the next layer of connections. When you interact with others from a place of generosity it is noticeable and sets the tone.

2. PRACTICE

Do the work and practice! Don't go to networking events half prepared. Work on your 'intriguing nutshell', and practice it, so that it feels easy. It may take time - but keep going, enjoy trying out new words and ideas.

3. GENUINE relationship building

People buy from those they know & trust. Take the time to have real conversations, ask for help, problem solve with others, find new collaborators. Genuine relationships are not created in a single conversation, it may take months, enjoy the journey.

4. Consistency

Show-up, Be YOU, Add value, Be generous.

Focus on a small number of networking groups and show-up every month, this allows you to build genuine relationships.

5. Stories sell, Facts tell

When people ask about your business, share stories rather than facts. Tell them about the problems you solve and clients you have helped. Share why you are passionate about what you do. Remember the emotional brain is what compels us to take action.
