using face-to-face networking to grow
your business so I got a great question
from one of my patreon supporters love
you guys dan wine ago who wrote in to
ask me hi Evan I’d love to see a video
on using face-to-face networking to grow
your business for me this is a bit of a
tricky one and I think number one you
have to figure out what style best fits
your personality and so if you are the
type of person who is outgoing energetic
loves talking to people type A
personality then you need to be all over
face-to-face networking you gotta be
going to networking groups you and we go
to conferences and trade shows and being
out of meeting people you know you’ll
you’ll have a lot of great business
success and you’ll also be happier
because that’s what you’d like to do you
need to be surrounded by people for
myself I’m not that type A personality
when I go to networking events when I go
to conferences uh I don’t go to
conferences anymore unless I’m speaking
at them you know I’m not the guy who’s
gonna go up to every booth and say hey
I’m Evan here’s what I do is their way
to work together I don’t talk to the guy
next mini airplane I’m I don’t know I’m
kind of shy and kind of introverted they
may not come across in the videos but I
am and so for me for my business to take
off I had to find another way to stand
because if it was going to rely on me
doing sales calls and and going to these
networking events and conferences to
attend it wouldn’t work because it
doesn’t fit my personality well so
instead I focus more on thought
leadership and I’m the guy who speaks at
the conferences and as a result people
come up to me and make connections and
I’ve happy to talk to people I’m just
not the initiator usually and so let’s
worked out for my style very well so I
think first of all if you’re thinking
about using that working in your
business it’s figuring out what is your
personality style do you like talking to
people and do like being around people a
lot or not there’s no right or wrong
answers
figuring out your personality style
because being truthful with yourself
will help you devise a strategy that
works for you number two is when you’re
networking you want to network with the
right people right you want to make sure
that the people who you’re connecting to
are your target audience or know your
target audience you know if you’re real
estate agent or if you’re an insurance
salesperson then your network is
everybody you know you can sell to
anybody then that’s what you should be
doing right you’re out meeting everybody
because they can all be potential
customers for you if your target
audience is this is a specific group of
people specific industry then you wanted
that work strategically you know maybe
joining the networking group won’t be
the right fit for you because you need
really targeted referrals so make sure
when you’re networking your networking
with the right group of people my third
thought is when you have the chance meet
people face-to-face you get so much more
done and you create such a strong
personal bond when you can meet somebody
face-to-face instead of just over the
phone or just by email just over social
media it’s amazing what it can do to
create a relationship you looks only one
time for my business most of it is done
internationally and I’m based in Toronto
Canada but most of my clients are an
American and so my deals are done to put
over the phone and email but whenever I
get the chance if somebody’s visiting
here from work with a local client I
like to go meet them face-to-face
because it builds their relationship it
builds trust and and other opportunities
come out of it beyond just this one set
thing that we’re supposed to do so those
are my thoughts on that working
frontrunners it can be a huge boost for
your business if you do it properly and
a quick story on Dan sedan was one of
asked me about this video then is a
great networker and dan has been a fan
of my social media channels for a while
his commented been active and involved
and he actually invited me to come and
speak at his event that his company was
putting on he works for coming called
home video studios he’s a franchisee and
he invited me to come speak and he
picked me up from the airport and he
not with me on the first night we went
for dinner and you know it was always
just a resource and being super helpful
and even afterwards now he’s keeping me
up to date with what he’s doing and
sending videos and supporting more of my
stuff and then it is just a master
networker and if you guys want to learn
more about that workday maybe maybe I’ll
have to have Dan on and we’ll do a
Google+ Hangout and share some tips and
strategies if you guys are interested in
that leave in the comments below what
