Hey! Maybe you’re like me and you might be tempted to completely turn off this episode because you really don't like the idea of having to network at all. Especially if you're an introvert and your insides are already cringing a little bit. But I’m going to ask that you give this episode a chance no matter what your personality, what your experience has been with other networking events or just the whole idea of it. In this episode, We're going to be talking all about networking and how to do it like a pro using tools that are right at your fingertips, on your phone and how to do it without being sleazy or spammy. I don’t want you to miss the boat! I want you to take advantage of a huge opportunity that I believe is still available to you. Biggest Takeaways: No matter what social media platform you choose to network on, you don't need to be anybody other than yourself. If you are networking for the sole purpose of selling somebody right there on the spot, that is never going to work or very rarely is that going to work. Because people buy from those that they know, like, and trust. While we could speed that up with some borrowed relationship, you can't rush it. If you've been genuine and curious, then almost automatically you're going to create a connection with somebody. This is the perfect spot in order to lay the foundation for a relationship, whether that's short term or long term. If you are really good at what you do, then you should never feel afraid about sharing what you do and why you're so passionate about helping them. When you allow them the opportunity to open up and see the gift that's inside of you, the way that you can help them and the offer you are providing to them is going to change their lives. Quotables: Networking is a big part of your business model, but it shouldn't be the only reason why you're networking. You need to be intentional, be human and personable.
