Are you able to give And receive?
The past couple of years, I changed my business development model of “going it alone” to collaborating. There was indeed a learning curve involved. I smile now as I hear the discussions of so many who say they find it hard to “receive”. In my former days, many others and myself included found it difficult to “give”.
Should you truly wish to attract sales, one of the better strategies is to find that balance of giving and receiving. A good first step is to find groups online whose discussion topics are complementary to your business model. Take an active part answering questions that represent your specialty. By doing so others will automatically be drawn to your expertise making your business development effortless. As you become comfortable with the group, you may then confidently pose your questions and receive the help you need.
Next, take part in a collaboration or mastermind group comprised of people with similar goals and complementary services. The giving and receiving should be natural for all and the learning will help you achieve your goals far more quickly. As your activities and relationships build, you will find increased attention from new prospects and clients. When your mindset is focused on delivering your expertise freely it becomes a marketing message that you are there to serve. Your reward will be receiving greater opportunities than thought possible. It’s an entrepreneurial dream to conduct business with much less effort.
Today I offer the challenge to find:
1. Social media groups to join discussions
2. Collaborative partners
3. Brainstorm new ideas for products & services with your new team(s)
When you work openly instead of closed you will not only attract more sales, but have more fun and enjoy the Smooth Sale!
