SUMMARY:The Sales Lab: Networking as a Marketing Superpower
DESCRIPTION:Networking is hands down the fastest way to get clients but it can trigger a lot of big feelings around rejection\, fear of putting yourself out there\, social anxiety\, or just feeling icky. \n\n\n\nReal talk: Great networkers aren’t born\, they’re made! Every entrepreneur can turn themselves into a fabulous conversationalist who can spot an opportunity a mile away and leverage the power of networking to grow their business and brand faster and easier with aligned partners and collaborators\, and have a heck of a lot of fun along the way. The key is to move beyond the business card and three-second handshake\, learn how to turn strangers into friends\, and then nurture those friendships over time! \n\n\n\nJoin us for this workshop featuring Lindsay Johnson\, aka The Radical Connector to learn how to: \n\n\n\n\nPick the right networking events and activities for your goals so you don’t waste your precious time or feel out of place\n\n\n\nSpot your ideal client across the room and start a feel-good conversation without selling\n\n\n\nFeel confident leading a fun conversation that builds instant know\, like\, trust\n\n\n\nInvite potential clients\, collaborators\, referral partners and leaders to a consent-based sales call \n\n\n\nDo the perfect sales call that doesn’t actually feel like a sales call at all\n\n\n\n\nBonus: Networking Dos & Don’ts tip-sheet to help you make a memorable impression and have a great time. \n\n\n\nNetworking is the most powerful marketing activity you’ll do as a business owner. Let’s make it your super power!
