Hey everybody,
I might not be the good with words or professional writer but i strongly feel that women "correction" ladies who fall in my category who want to get into business arena but has always been told that money is the only important factor and in this economy it will be very difficult.Don't let your ideas and creativity make you uncomfortable to move out .You don't have to be an MBA to run business.You feel that excutive are the one who can do business presentations ...
NO you do it everyday look around.....getting kids ready so they are presentable...teach them manners..manage homework......going out to parks with them....socializing with husbands friends clients....you can do that.....
Ladies you are already..... NETWORKING...
As they say appreances sell product...no its the COMFORT AND IDEA WITH CREATIVITY.
So throw this idea out of window that money is needed to network.
So here is mine professional dime networking experience.
Why isay "professinal so that people take you seriously and you sound in control of your business/creative proposal.
1. As ladies are more open to discussion when they are in comfort level. So coffee will take their mind out of their daily things. Appericiat how they look not going to far.Avoid too personal topics leave that for informal meetings.
2. So make it point you have your business plan for them handy and put that across to them....don't push them hard and create plan on paper nicely scribbled while chatting( readable) and hand it over to them( simple,quick and to the point so that force them to call you back as those 30 mins is not just selling whole concept leave it for later) making them feel that its just cusotmized for them right away( though you have planned it before)....lady always like to feel special and important and don't forget to take refrences from them in the end.It all about give and take.
4. Don't forget to send her thanks and wish her on birthday always.......how busy or professional we try to be but this little gestures can work well.
So the total cost of networking would be------
coffee+sandhwhich or bowl of salad+email+reminder= getting business+references
We might be in the world of internet ...emails but one to one discussion in person goes long way. And women are best in that.
And yes definitely lot of positive attitude with smile.:-).It worked for me and those who apply this please send me note on same. You too might have some tips for me too so please lets share them.
