What is the worth of your network?
Many of us belong to a variety of groups that meet in-person. Benefits are derived in many ways. After attending a meeting of one such group, I thought it would be beneficial for you to list questions to ask yourself in regards to the groups you attend.
1. Are you learning something new each time you attend?
2. Are others advancing at least as quickly as you? For your own growth, this is crucial.
3. Do others take time to fully understand what you have to offer?
4. Are clients, referrals and/or testimonials coming from your group?
5. Do you personally feel good every time you walk into a meeting?
By asking yourself these questions and providing honest answers, you will know whether the groups are well-worth your time or if it is time to find another. This is true of online groups too, and is no different than examining your current projects to determine if they are helping to achieve your long-term goals.
As an entrepreneur developing business, your mindset must change from emotional to analytical. It is critical to market to the right groups and find targeted prospects whether in-person or online. When you implement this change, you will close more sales and they will be a Smooth Sale!
