People do business with those they know, like and trust. So with your branding, people get to understand the real you. But remember, you have to be the real you.

Can you imagine?! Anytime someone contacts me for anything, I go immediately on the social media platforms to find out about the person. Guess what I’ll do when I don’t see much info about him or her? Ignore of course! I believe the message is clear.

3 Value Proposition

Understanding and articulating your value proposition is essential. It's what you bring to the table that can benefit a potential client. When networking, be prepared to succinctly describe what you do, how it helps others, and why it's unique. This clarity will not only boost your confidence but also make it easier for people to refer you to others. Remember, networking is a two-way street; be interested in what others do and how you might help them as well.

4 Strategic Events

Attending events can be a goldmine for networking opportunities. Choose events strategically, focusing on those where potential clients or influential people in your industry gather. Workshops, conferences, and seminars are great places to meet people face-to-face and leave a lasting impression. When at these events, be proactive in starting conversations, and don't forget to follow up afterward with a personalized message to keep the connection alive.

Don’t find yourself working so hard in the wrong circle. 0 x 10000 is 0. And remember this: The fortune is in the follow up.

5 Referral System

A referral system can turn your current clients into advocates for your services. Encourage satisfied clients to refer you to their network by offering incentives or simply by delivering exceptional work that they'll want to talk about. Word-of-mouth referrals are incredibly powerful because they come with built-in trust. Make sure to thank those who refer new clients to you and consider offering a token of appreciation for their support.

6 Continuous Learning

Networking isn't just about gaining clients; it's also about learning from peers and staying on top of industry trends. Engage in continuous learning by attending webinars, reading industry publications, and participating in discussions. This knowledge will not only improve your services but also provide valuable talking points during networking interactions. Being well-informed demonstrates your commitment to your craft and can lead to more meaningful connections.

One thing I realized is that once I stopped learning, I started depreciating. Another word for depreciation is death. So don’t die before you die guys! Keep learning.
