IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS

Leave your comfort zone and make impact in your community. If you have a fear of speaking to strangers ,you can overcome that when networking and marketing your services to potential customers. Take a practice that will not only push you out of comfort zone but also work on improving your weaknesses .You dont have to be an expert , just be comfortable to deliver value that people will want or need.

NETWORKS ARE FOR LEVERAGE



STEPS TO BUILD A NETWORK THAT WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS



1. Go where the right people go. If you need funding then network with funders .If you want to sell please network with potential buyers . Always develop relationships with the sort of people you will need in the future so that when the time comes, you will be able to pick up the phone and make it happen.

2.Target key connections and make it happen,convert your network and make impression .LinkedIn is not for show but for connection .Pitch your products/business and arrange for meet up .The worst thing that can happen is that they say but then again what if they say Yes.

3.Pay it forward.
Always seek to add value than you take away. When you first meet someone ,it sets the stage for your future relationship so be intresting and memorable to everyone you meet. Develop an authentic and personal brand that is consistent and easy for people to remember.

4.Always follow up with everyone you meet whether by email,whatsapp chat,telephone calls or in person.Develop strong ties with key players who are likely to help you towards your long term goals Look for people with huge personal networks or who inspire you to another level.Priortise people that are going to make difference in the long term.If you make a sales call, you are five times more likely to get through if you have a shared connection.

5.Leverage your network!
A valuable network only counts if you use it .This is the law of attraction in action, the bigger and more engaged your network,the more powerful it works.
