Business
You have the skills to attract people to you – you’ve invested in your education, grown your network and you do have something to offer. But for those new to deal packaging, lack of self-belief can be what stops them moving forward. David explains why people will come to you and what you need to do to get things moving in this episode that is a response to the questions David is being asked by some of those new to deal packaging. You do not have to have the answer to everything, you just need to know where to find the answer and believe in yourself and what you have to offer. KEY TAKEAWAYS You need to understand what sort of person you are – are you loud and keen to take action, or are you are nurturing and hope that at some point there might be someone who is interested in investing You have to see your business moving forward and understand why people will come to you. What is it that you offer? What value do you bring? Sometimes new package dealers can go down the rabbit hole and start believing they don’t have anything to offer. I’ve not done a deal how can I help anyone? You’ve committed and undertaken education so you have knowledge that you can share with others. You have, through your training, built a network with people who are on the same journey but are a few steps ahead, they are a source of invaluable advice and information. You do not have to have the answer to everything, you just need to know where to find the answer. When you meet a potential investor, your question should be ‘how can I help?’ This will usually spark a conversation that will concrete the relationship moving forward. Deal packagers are problem solvers and if you help someone once they will have the confidence in you moving forward.
