For the last few weeks, I've talked about the looming recession and how you don't have to participate in it. Last week, and the week before, I gave you some tips about how cold calling doesn't work -- especially in a recession. And we talked about a few simple ways that you can generate more customers in a recession.In fact, a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned an earlier episode called How to Get Customers from Business Networking Events. So, I figured this would be a great time to recover some of those great tips.This week, I'll give you tips on HOW to network. I'll show you how to become a sphere of influence and generate referrals.Then, next week, we'll cover WHERE to network. I'll help you determine where your customers gather so when you network, you'll be networking with the right people.

Die letzten 2 Tage habe ich in Südtirol auf einem VIP Networking Event verbracht, bei dem ich eine tolle Zeit hatte. Aber ist der Preis gerechtfertigt? Welchen Nutzen, abgesehen vom Spaßfaktor, kann man aus solchen Events ziehen?

Small business lead generation can be tough, time-consuming, and expensive. But it doesn't have to be. Once you identify who your top target audience is and what problems they have, you can get potential clients to contact you when they need help.Every small business is the proverbial “Needle in the Haystack,” so small business lead generation is critical to an entrepreneur's survival. And the better your sales team gets at lead generation, the faster your small business will grow into a big business. You need to create a strategy for finding new leads that become new customers.Remember, it is a lot easier to turn a prospect or lead into a customer if the lead calls you versus when you call them. It cracks me up when I hear titles of articles, seminars, or books about how to “Make Effective Cold Calls” or how to “Warm Up Cold Calls.” Below are a few best practices that each is a great way of generating leads without an email list, a newsletter, or really, without ever having to make a cold call.However, just like we covered in How to Network at Business Networking Events, business-to-consumer sales and business-to-business sales are totally different. So, developing qualified leads for consumers is totally different than generating qualified leads that are other businesses. So, as we go through the process, I'll give examples of each type of lead generation strategy.Here is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process for Small Business Lead Generation:Before You Spend Time or Money on Small Business Lead Generation, Identify Who Your Target Market Is and What Problems They Have.Create Brand Awareness by Posting Your Solutions to These Problems in Blog Posts and on Social Media Platforms.Catalog Your Small Business Success with Case Studies and Sharing Customer Successes.The Generate New Customers for Small Businesses, Focus on Referrals and Repeat Business.If You Have to Cold Call in the Digital Age, Call to a Targeted List Who Already Knows You.

This week is part 2 of the two-part series on how to find new customers at business networking events. Word-of-mouth advertising is one of the best ways to build customers. And, if nothing else, it is, by far, the cheapest way to find new customers.Last week, I covered a few networking skills to show you how to increase your sphere of influence. We talked about how networking is NOT selling. Instead, it is helping the people you interact with solve problems. And since most of the people you meet at business networking functions are there to promote themselves or their companies, if you help them do that, you become more influential within that group. People will want to interact with you.This week, I cover how to pick the right business networking events to attend in order to find your best potential customers. In the first part of today's session, I explain the three types of people who attend the networking events. Those three types are (1) companies that sell to consumers in a regional area, (2) companies that sell to small businesses, and the last are (3) companies that sell to other companies. People who work for each of these types of companies will want to attend totally different types of business networking events. Otherwise, you'll likely just be wasting your time.Show Notes: How to Find Customers at Business Networking Events (https://www.leadersinstitute.com/increase-your-sphere-of-influence-how-to-network/)

This week I start a new series on how to find new customers at business networking events. Word-of-mouth advertising is one of the best ways to build customers. And, if nothing else, it is, by far, the cheapest way to find new customers.So in this series, I start with how to network to increase your sphere of influence. I give you a very simple process that works every single time. Then in the next couple of episodes, I'll show you how to find the best places to network to find new business.If you want to get new customers from business networking events, you might want to adjust your strategy just a little. If you do, like most small businesses, and try to force a “networking opportunity,” you might just be shooting yourself in the foot. However, a networking group or local chamber of commerce can be a great place to find your next big potential client. But only if you (1) spend time building relationships and (2) network with the right people.We are taught to create this word-of-mouth advertising by “going out and networking” within the business community. So we go to business network happy hours or professional networking events. Of course, the unstated goal when we attend these meetings is to meet new people and make new connections so that these people and connections will buy from us. If you think about it, though, why is everyone else attending?Yup, that is correct. They are all their to try to sell or promote themselves to you as well. So a majority of the people in the room came primarily to sell to other people in the room.See the problem?For instance, very few chamber members go to Chamber of Commerce meetings to buy things. The odds seem to be stacked against the attendees from the beginning. So, it is no wonder why most of most leave these networking functions thinking that we just wasted their time.It doesn't have to be that way, though. By making just a few simple changes to your approach, you can become a center of influence in any room. You can generate new opportunities for business growth by making valuable connections with other top professionals. In effect, we can use these meetings as a way to generate significant word-of-mouth advertising.Show Notes: Get Customers from Business Networking Events (https://www.leadersinstitute.com/increase-your-sphere-of-influence-how-to-network/)

Today's episode discusses ‘Strategies for Maximizing Your Time at Local Business Networking Events'. My expert guide today is John, re-runs frequent local business events. Motivation for John to the events industry: He started with community-based fundraising events that inspired him and his old friend to get into that space. How his events differentiate from others- John denotes that his events are always highly original, with people benefitting greatly from networking. The biggest attraction for attendees of his local events is often the trade show of more than 70 exhibitioners. They are keynote events on various relevant business topics from leading industry professionals. Lastly, networking is significant because you get face-to-face interaction with major players from the business community. How an attendee prepares for these events - John reckons that you should go in with a plan and know exactly what you are looking for. Also, take your time to have meaningful relationships with business professionals you will meet at the event and have your business card on hand. Strategies for maximizing time at a local business event - Our guest advise that you should seek to show up and leave with various meaningful contacts that will benefit your business. The best setup strategy for a vendor at a local business event - John reckons that the best strategy is to bring along some help, often in the form of one or two more people. These extra pairs will help you run things smoothly at your booth. Secondly, you should be ready to work your booth by engaging your audience in creative, differentiated ways. A friendly hook would serve as a great conversation starter. Thirdly, give an attendee a reason to choose you immediately, e.g., a special discount offer. Tips for vendors and attendees to do follow-ups after the event - John underscores that you should follow up on a lead immediately to ensure you get all the potential business. It would be best if you nurtured those relationships through follow-ups. However, it would help if you had an eye for good leads because you often may end with many leads at an event that are not worth your time. Finally, hear about John's exciting choice of brand ambassador.

When you go to a networking event you certainly don’t want it to be a waste of time. It is important that you get the most out of each hour you spend networking. But how do you go about that? If you walk into the room and just start handing out business cards and trying to make a sale this is a surefire way to be forgotten.

If you are one of the organizers or regulars of business networking events you want to ensure that you are creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of those invited. If you are organizing an event then make sure that everyone understands their responsibility to be inclusive. Invite regulars to come early and welcome newcomers.
