Networking Tip of the Week
Strategic Follow-Up Intervals
After meeting someone at a networking event, start your follow-up within a week to reaffirm the connection. Then, plan subsequent check-ins at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
This schedule allows you to maintain contact without being overbearing, taking into account personal circumstances that may affect their responsiveness.
If there's minimal engagement after a year, shift them to a dormant category in your CRM but continue to send updates about significant opportunities. This method ensures a respectful and thoughtful approach to building long-term professional relationships.
Member spotlight: Nanci Wilkinson-Kurtz
Very often in our lives, we have met people with remarkable stories whose values and beliefs have seen them through poor decisions, trying times and challenging relationships.
When we meet challenges in our own circumstances and need to be heard, the value of a professional who has been there themselves cannot be overvalued.
A certified Rapid Transformational Therapist and Life Coach, Nanci brings that candor and open disclosure to the front of the conversation, making it clear and safe for others by being transparent and honest about the challenges she has faced herself. Her goal is to help those who are questioning their worth by showing them how to set boundaries, reclaim their confidence and quickly and permanently reach the extraordinary lives they yearn for and deserve. You will reach Nanci by message on LinkedIn and through the Chat on the world referral network. Give yourself this gift!

Crafting Irresistible Offers: Make Them So Good, They’ll Feel Silly Saying No
In the wild jungle of today’s market, getting people to choose your product isn’t exactly like selling lemonade at a summer parade. To really stand out, you need an offer that practically grabs customers by the collar and whispers, “You’d be a fool to pass this up.” Here’s the secret sauce to make that happen—and no, it’s not just about piling on features until your product looks like a multi-tool with too many attachments.
Step one? Channel your inner Sherlock and dig into what your customers actually want. Forget what you think they want (a big mistake many a brand has made). Your goal is to create a product that has them saying, “Finally! Someone understands me!” High-quality, cost-saving, and packed with unique features, your offer should be like the luxury spa version of whatever else is out there.
Now, if you really want to make them say “yes,” sprinkle in some value-boosting magic. Toss in bonuses, guarantees, or—everyone’s favorite—some sort of “I can’t believe this is refundable!” guarantee. With perceived risks out of the way, saying yes starts to feel like common sense. And while you’re at it, add a dash of urgency: limited-time offers, exclusive deals—think of it like giving them a FOMO-fueled nudge to the checkout.
In the end, crafting an irresistible offer isn’t just about meeting needs; it’s about doing it in a way that feels like a no-brainer. Keep the offers valuable, keep them fun, and watch as customers can’t help but click “Buy Now”—maybe with a smile (and a laugh) along the way.
