GLOBAL CONNECTIONS RUN ON BLOCKCHAIN

In today’s high-tech-fuelled-world it’s sometimes easy to forget the simple truths and what makes a successful business, like the old adage, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

Building a broad professional network is as crucial as blockchain to achieving transformative change. Why? Because opportunity won’t come knocking. YOU have to do the work and My Backyard can help you to unlock business opportunities, find more clients and complete more sales. What’s more, the greater your network, the faster that transactions will take place.

To grow your professional network, here are six simple ways to make effective use of My Backyard platform.

1. Share Content

Construct your profile, connect with like-minded people and above all, share content.

The key to My Backyard networking is to be genuinely proactive. If you just create your profile and wait, opportunities will pass you by. 

2. Group Chats

Creating Group Chats can to get you noticed. Let people know what is happening in your area or industry and use group chats like a virtual fundraiser, tradeshow or conference. Group Chats are events and an opportunity to network. This can be a highly effective way to engage the many and far-reaching communities in the real-estate sector.

3. Friends Request

The easiest way to gain new contacts is through the contacts you already have. Be bold, search for contacts and send a friends request to associates and former-colleagues in your industry – or simply connect with people whom you think may benefit from knowing you. 

You may be surprised by how simple and easy it is to find new connections and often it’s the unexpected ones that provide the greatest reward.

4. Start With Your Own Network

Branching out far and wide is a good thing, but don’t forget about your roots.

Focus on bringing your own network on to the platform. Start messaging and sharing listings via social media channels. Your network can work in your favour and help you to build a bigger professional network.

5. Reach Out To Investors

Global investors by far represent the largest group to have engaged on My Backyard platform. Many investors, especially venture capitalists will possess a broad portfolio of companies and entrepreneurs whom they consider to be full of potential.

If you can connect with a venture capitalist, you can tap into their network by asking them to introduce you to their most interesting prospects.

6. Look Outside Your Niche

Don’t let silo working be a deal killer. You never know when a contact that isn’t directly involved in your industry might come in handy either by way of introduction to someone in your industry or to a new opportunity which is yet to present itself. 

The key is to branch out of your niche, expand your network and new opportunities will emerge.

Conclusion

The simple message is that My Backyard platform is a great way to accelerate deal flows but it takes two to tango. The more you engage with the platform the more users will want to join your network to share property information. Very soon your network will grow and opportunities will continually present.

Good luck with expanding your network. Carpe Diem!
