What do you do if your networking efforts as an entrepreneur are falling flat?

Networking flat? I always approach networking with three goals: Help one person. Meet someone entirely new. Have fun and laugh at least once. These goals might appear straightforward, but their simplicity is intentional. They serve as a foundation for my success. By setting achievable objectives where I benefit while assisting others, I position myself for positive outcomes. My aspiration is to become a connector—someone who facilitates connections between people. The more I help others connect, the more business opportunities will flow back to me. To achieve this, I consistently follow these three principles: Help one person. Meet someone entirely new. Have fun and laugh at least once.

Avant de penser que le premier point est de réévaluer, la base est de s'intéresser en premier au besoin et à trouver une idée ensuite pour le combler. La première chose à faire serait donc un sondage comme certains le font même ici sur LinkedIn.

Adjusting your networking tactics is like trying a new recipe when your usual dish isn't hitting the spot. Maybe your networking strategy (recipe) isn't working anymore. Instead of forcing the same tactics, explore new online communities or try volunteering at events! The key is to find the approach (recipe) that lets you connect with people in a genuine way (create a delicious dish)! Bonus "Ado: Tip: Don't just talk about yourself at networking events! Be like a good sous chef (supportive teammate). Ask questions about the other person's work, share relevant resources, and offer to connect them with others in your network. People appreciate genuine interest, and this will help you build stronger connections.

à nouveau, changer de canal d'approche n'est utile que si on s'est intéressé aux besoins en premier. Que l'on utilise linkedin ou une autre plate-forme pour vendre, ?a n'a aucune importance ni aucune incidence, on peut le faire où l'on veut. Toutes les plate-formes auront en commun de ne fonctionner que si notre offre a une valeur pour ceux qui s'y trouvent.

Quand on aura pris le temps de s'intéresser aux besoins et à créer l'offre appropriée par la suite, la contribution apportée aura toujours une valeur.

Você pode avaliar sua habilidade de networking pelos resultados que obtém. Se n?o estiver obtendo sucesso, considere mudar sua estratégia. Em vez de apenas buscar benefícios para si mesmo, pense em como pode ajudar os novos contatos que surgem. Contribuir de forma positiva fortalece os relacionamentos, facilita a fideliza??o e cria um ambiente propício para trocas e aprendizado mútuo.

Step back and assess how you are showing up, are you leading with curiosity to learn more about the potential connection or are you so eager to share your story that you miss the mark with the connection? Listen for and observe verbal cues when connecting, this will help to tailor your approach during the conversation. For example, take in consideration the DiSC personality types, if you lead with a High "I" personality type (like me), and the person you are connecting with gives straight forward to the point answers, they may likely have a "D" personality type. Instead of sharing an around the world story you will need to get straight to the point - the outcome or result.
