Building Your Network BEFORE You Need It

Posted March 26, 2011

There are 3 areas of frustration that people convey to me with regard to their social network.

1) People seem a bit hesitant to want to chat with them in real time. Real time being a phone call, meeting for a cup of coffee etc.

2) People in their network are either hesitant or just plain non responsive to requests for introductions to other people within their network.

3) Their connections aren’t transitioning into clients.

While there are many reasons why this could be happening, one of the biggest reasons is that we haven’t established enough trust and quite frankly . . .

We might be approaching our network like in a “Hello, I don’t know you, but would you marry me?” fashion when we should have been thinking . . .  “COURTSHIP”!

Today, I have lots of tips for you on how you can create a solid foundation so that you can eventually transition with a higher degree of success.

Now I’m not going to give them all away here, because then you’d skip my podcast and then I blew off a Saturday night of television for nothing.  So you’ll just have to have a listen to find out the rest. 🙂

I have some great content lined up for you if you will scroll down and have a listen. Now if you are not in the mood to further your growth this weekend, no worries. My suggestion would be to download this podcast on I-Tunes and allow me to be your educational companion during your drive time this week!
