Get Your Network Working
The programme that shows you how to build and grow a new revenue stream for your business through networking.
Improve your communication and confidence whilst networking
It’s time to start attending the right networking meetings for your business success.
If you are a business owner, you know that referrals and recommendations are the best way to generate sales.
These come from networking, but you’re unsure where to start.
Imagine a world where you weren’t currently chasing every sale.
Here’s what you might not know
Building relationships is more than sending random messages to connect or handing out business cards.
You need to build the know, like and trust factor before recommending new connections to your family, friends, and co-workers.
Here’s what you can expect from good networking.
Access to your ideal client: Networking can give you access to business categories already connected with your ideal clients.
New business & personal opportunities: Networking can open doors to new partnerships, collaborations, partnerships, and business ventures plus job opportunities.
Access to new resources: Networking can provide you with resources like mentorship, advice, and shared expertise that can accelerate your personal and professional growth.
Support network with lasting friendships: Networking can provide a support network when business is tough and you need help and guidance, plus when its booming celebrates your successes with you.
You’ll make lifelong friends through networking
You might think that networking is just about soulless selling but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
So, you plucked up the courage to go to your first meeting. But what the heck do you do next?
Inspired and can’t wait to return.
or
Deflated and vowing never to return.
The fact is that most networkers don’t prepare before they go and then don’t follow up after they have been.
Here’s why that can be a massive problem.
The number of opportunities that are missed can run into thousand’s.
4 Reasons Networkers generally fail to make networking a regular business activity
REASON 1
They are overwhelmed with the choice of meetings to go to.
Overwhelm always leads to inaction. Finding the right group to network in takes time. It’s important to try a few groups before settling into a routine with the right group of businesses and individuals.
REASON 2
They think their business is too new or too small.
It’s never too early to start networking. You might be working on a new business idea and spending time with local businesses will give you access to resources and support that could be critical for you to get your business off the ground. You might have recently launched a business, and what better way to share the passion you have with a group of interested business owners. When it comes to size, all businesses started somewhere.
REASON 3
They don’t know how or what to prepare before a meeting.
Picture the scene, you’ve signed up for your first networking event. You’ve figured out what to wear, where you’ll park, and packed your business cards. New attendees will have not looked at the expected attendee list, they won’t have identified who/what business types ‘in the room’ might be a good connection for them, and they won’t their elevator pitch nailed.
REASON 4
They don’t have enough time.
The classic reason why business owners don’t network. It is often seen as a ‘luxury’ in business, just going off for a lunch or coffee and cake. Networking should be seen as a key pillar in every business marketing activity.
These feelings are normal, by recognising them you can work on strategies to build confidence and resilience.
Here’s what Jenni said when she first started networking.
“The idea of standing up in front of a room full of people to talk about my business left my stomach in knots and my heart rate through the roof. My mouth went dry, and my brain went to mush. I know that building relationships is vital to the success of my business and networking is the best way to meet new people, but walking into a room full of strangers for the first time was (and still is) nerve-wracking”.
Jenni is a new business owner and 4 months into her business she is halfway to reaching her monthly financial goal, all through her networking connections.
