Networking Tips: Networking for Introverts – Event, Process or Part of Life by Patricia Weber, Business Sales Coach for Introverts, Shy and Just Plain Sales Reluctant http://www.profcs.com/app/?Clk=3083266

On a recent teleclass where I answer introvert and shy in business and sales questions, a gentleman observed that my focus for business building seemed to be slanted toward networking. His take was networking are events. I’ve found as an introvert I’ve just thought of networking differently than maybe some extroverts. When I try it the extroverted way, I usually regret it. In all situations, networking is like open-heart surgery: it takes time. Rush it and you may as well have never started it because you can do more damage than good.

Networking groups. A group meets for a purpose and intention of networking, it may have some structure, people say they are committed and members have a similar audience they want to reach. All good ingredients that can get results but the mindset that treats this like an event or process doesn’t find those results.

Networking events. These can be either business or social: Chamber of Commerce, professional organizations monthly or weekly meetings, and specific celebratory events like anniversaries shared with others. When they lean toward business, you often find a mentality in action, “He who leaves with the most business cards wins.” That’s exhausting for an introvert. Really, what is the purpose if you haven’t met someone you want to continue to get to know?

Networking at events with other purposes. Conferences or seminars have networking, but it happens naturally as you move from one activity on the agenda to another. This is a bit more controllable in terms of savoring your energy before, during and after if you are more introverted.

Networking with your current connections. This is where the results are from all of the above, and your life events. Talking with Ms. Amos at church who happens to have a niece in the financial planning business. Ms. Amos says her daughter is considering changing work field. Do you ask yourself, “How can I help with that?” and then if you find you can, do you suggest to Ms. Amos to have her daughter call you?

If someone had a diet that worked, would you ignore it? Then why would you not listen to every conversation, at every path in your life and ask yourself, “How can I be of help? What can I offer to the situation?” Then act on this. Networking is part of life. And don’t rush the surgeon. Perfect for the introvert? With our innate skill set and some strategizing.

Do you want to join learn some better ways to overcome your own networking? Patricia Weber’s 50 page ebook helps introverts, shy and just the networking reluctant, who either might start a business during an economic downturn, or are in business already, yet suffer from a faulty thinking, “My expertise alone is so solid it will bring in sales revenue.” Networking Secrets for Sales Reluctance: How I Overcame Unsuccessful Networking as an Introvert, http://www.profcs.com/app/?Clk=3083266

gives a specific way introverts in particular will appreciate: an internal step by step process with a specific network reluctance beliefs and how to turn them into beliefs that get results in the networking process.

Steve & Kerry Recommend: 7 Secrets to Attracting All the Clients You Want

2009 is definitely a year of winners and losers. On the one hand I am both experiencing and witnessing INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATIONS in my own business and the businesses of my friends and clients.

Yet at the same time, I’m hearing tales of woe – clients cancelling, lost business, budgets drying up -and many people STRUGGLING to get the consistent paying clients and business they need and want. Many people are complaining that what USED to work is no longer working

So what’s the difference between those who SOAR and those who STRUGGLE?

My friend Bernadette Doyle is ready to tell you, because she’s been studying the differences between those who SOAR and those who STRUGGLE and is going to reveal her findings in this special TWO-PART TELESEMINAR called ‘7 Secrets to Attracting All the Clients You Want’ that’s coming up on Tuesday June 30 and Thursday July 2 (Yep, she’s got so much info to share on this topic I can’t fit it in on one call!)

Kerry & I traveled to Ireland last May to speak at Bernadette’s event.  It was one of the best events and most content I’ve heard shared in a weekend.  Bernadette always over-delivers.  Well, I’ve made special arrangements for you to attend this teleseminar series as my guest!

Featured Article: Webinars: The Greatest Untapped Secret On The Internet

Do you want to know my number one secret to my success on the internet? It is an incredible tool called a webinar. Webinars are basically an online seminar. I use webinars to get more sales, get them day in and day out, and get them automatically. By using webinars effectively, you can dominate your niche and reap the rewards. That is how people sell tremendous amounts of products and services on the internet.

Both offline and online business are using webinars. Video is here to stay. A webinar is really just controlled television. It gives people information in the way they are used to finding it, which is on the television.

The powerful thing about webinars is that you can sell one to many, instead of selling one to one. That is a key part of webinars. This also frees up your time to do more of what you enjoy.

Imagine getting people on a webinar and only spending your marketing – direct marketing, direct mail, or phone calls, or appointment setters – on the people who have actually raised their hand and hung in with you for a sixty minute webinar. That would be a pretty big pre-qualification.

Webinars allow you to get in front of a lot of people, having a 1-100, 1-500 or even 1-1000 ratio. The location does not matter. You can reach people all over the world! In essence, you can get people to raise their hand about your topic, and then spend your marketing effort and dollars on them.

One of the greatest things about webinars is that you can get the attention of your potential customers and keep it as long as necessary to make the sale. This is because webinars are very interactive. With webinars, you can create an event and give them a reason to buy now, as opposed to tomorrow, or next week, or next month, or even next year.

Without a doubt, webinars are an incredible tool and worthy of much more attention than they get. Webinars have really transformed my business and I truly believe that they have the potential to transform yours.

Let’s face it, there’s a lot of conflicting advice out there about what it REALLY takes to attract new clients and grow a successful business. And it’s all getting so confusing!

But Bernadette can help, because for over 13 years she’s been helping people to win new business and get new clients. Bernadette told me recently that the rules of the game are changing and the things that USED to work to get clients are no longer working.

Has this been happening to you?

• you’re ‘doing all the right things’ – but still not getting the consistent, paying business you want
• finding it harder to get commitment from clients
• losing former clients, yet struggling to replace them
• more and more people telling you ‘I can’t afford it’
• you get great feedback, but STILL don’t have enough clients

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. And I know you are wondering… What still works? What doesn’t work? What should I do now? What should I stop doing? What do I need to KNOW right now to change all this?

Bernadette can help you.

Starting June 30, she’s offering this two-part teleseminar series on what it REALLY takes to GET NEW CLIENTS NOW (yes, she’s got so much to share with you on this topic she can’t fit it into one call!)

you!

to be on the call live!
http://budurl.com/tnu5

The first step I take is to send out 3 emails to promote the event. For example, if I am doing a teleseminar next week, I will promote the teleseminar using a broadcast email. This is not like the follow up emails in my autoresponder. Everybody on my list gets the broadcast email all at one time.

What should go in a promotion email? Here is an example, “Hello, next week I will be holding a teleseminar. The phone number to dial in is as follows.” Even though the teleseminar is free, promote it like there was a charge for it. This is why a registration website to obtain their name and email makes sense.

To promote a teleseminar when you work from home part time, use good copywriting. There should be bullet points on your emails and web pages that highlight what topics are going to be discussed.

A good strategy is to provide a list of topics that will be covered. If your teleseminar is about “The 5 ways to earn money at home in 30 days or less,” include that on the website. This way you build up a sense of curiosity and desire with your prospects. Here is another example:

“7 keys to maximizing the savings on your car and the role each one plays.”

“The keys to making sure your business does not become a casualty in this recession and instead becomes the next great American success story.” This illustration is just an example of what you can write on your website. It does not have to be exactly worded the way it is worded here. What you want to do is just figure out what works best for you and your business and make sure that your website is worded and communicates that message accordingly. Otherwise you will not get the results you want.

“The 5 Traffic Generation Strategies They Do Not Want You To Know About because if you did know, you would cut into their profit streams and start making all of this money for yourself.”

As you can see when you work from home part time, leverage is key and well-written copy is one of the best forms of leverage you can employ when you sell your knowledge online. A great example of a website that does this well is www.fastinfoproducts.com. Check out their bullet points.

The emails used to promote the teleseminars need to create enough interest so that the reader clicks through to the registration webpage. In the first email you can promote the registration page a week from the event. You can promote it again 2-3 days later. Finally, you can send a final reminder email on the day you are hosting the teleseminar so that if they forget about it, they will remember to make sure they get on.

When using these techniques to promote teleseminars, you will be amazed at what will happen to your income when you work from home part time in this business.

If you are selling information and your website is about how to save money on weddings, people may believe you. However, if thirty people also say that your website is about that topic or even one hundred people, Google will think, “This website must be about that topic.” Google is even more likely to believe that when it visits your webpage and sees titles and content about saving money on weddings throughout the website.

Utilizing this strategy allows you to get high rankings for a number of keywords and phrases instead of one. Why? Articles get ranked in the search engines and they point back to your webpage. Using articles is like having a number of sales professionals promoting your products and services for a number of keywords and phrases. With this strategy you will have a number of people find your website. You also do not have to worry about the competition that comes with smaller keywords and phrases that are on millions of websites.

By using articles you will be able to dramatically increase the amount of traffic that your website receives. Even better, you will be able to take some of the traffic that your competitors receive. The reason why is because some of your competitors will pick up your articles and use them on their websites. They help you even if they are selling information for your topic also.

What this does in return is give you high search engine rankings, increased traffic to your website and as a result, an easier job at selling information.

“John Smith specializes in performance based coaching for individuals looking to get the most out of their business or life. He is currently offering a personal coaching consultation complementary that you can sign up for on his website.”

(”Personal coaching” is the keyword that would be a link your readers would click on to go to your website as this is one of the words you may want to target for a coaching business.)

After clicking on your website link, the next step is to get the prospect to become a potential coaching client. Most people that start a coaching business provide complementary consulting sessions to give the prospect a taste of what they have to offer. You can do the same and when they sign up for their session, you can also offer any products that you might sell to them.

Once you have some articles to work with, the next step is to submit them to article directories and ezine directories on the web. This is a very effective strategy. The reason why is because it allows you to leverage other websites to get traffic to your site. Website owners post articles written by other people on their website, blog or ezine with a link back to the author. This link is the payment you receive for writing the article because it equates to traffic from the website as well as better positioning in the search engines.

So here is an overview of this strategy in a nutshell. To start a coaching business you provide great article content and allow other website owners to use it. The only requirement is that they have to credit you as the author. This is where the resource box comes in, because it has your name as well as a link back to your website. As you continue to submit articles over the internet, you will have more and more links coming back to your website. For example, if one of your articles is used by 200 websites, that gives you 200 links that are going back to your website.

Keep in mind article marketing is one of the best strategies for you to use to generate potential clients for your business. It does this through exposure as well as through helping your search engine positioning. As a result, you should be able to attract new clients as you start a coaching business.

Let me tell you a little bit about how I got into webinars. I owned a remodeling company in Bryan / College Station, Texas for 20 years, and then I decided to attend Seminary. I’m 2000 miles from home in a strange place with no job, and I’ve got to figure out how to make a full time income in my part time while I’m going to Seminary.

So I turned to the internet and created my first info product, which was basically nothing more than finding kind of an abandoned meeting space. A car dealership wasn’t using their meeting space anymore. At least it had electricity and a bathroom. I invited a bunch of teens and their parents to a live workshop. I held a two or three – maybe it was three or four – one hour workshops with them, and I video-taped it. 

That was my first product. 

I laid the recordings down on DVDs and here were some of my issues: We sold a lot at first. We would go to home school book shows and sell some, but I had problems getting sales after the initial launch. I had problems with getting consistent sales each and every week, and I had problems breaking into new markets.

Somebody told me, “Hey Steve, you need a higher price product. I mean you’re only selling $97 DVD series.” I still sell that DVD course, “How To Start Your Own Business . . . for Families & Teens” to this date. It’s really under priced because it’s an eight hour workshop, only for $97. I bet some of you even have it. 

At that time, I decided I needed a higher price product. So I created “8 Weeks to Profits” which is a $800 home study course. That’s quite a bit more than that $97 DVD, but I still had problems getting sales after the initial launch.

I had a great launch with 8 Weeks to Profits. We sold over $50,000 in the first week that we launched it. I owe a lot of that credit to Jeff Walker; I bought his Product Launch Formulaand followed it like a recipe to have a great launch. But I had problems getting sales after the initial launch. I had problems getting consistent sales each week.  I had  problems breaking into new markets. Does that sound like a broken record? It’s the same problems that I had with my $97 DVD. 

Here was the solution!

Using webinars saved this product and solved all my problems of getting more sales, getting sales consistently and automatically each and every week, and tapping into new markets.

Webinars allowed me to make a six figure income, in my part time, while I was attending seminary. That’s a pretty amazing feat – not because I’m that smart. I’ll be quite honest with you. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed – so I was struggling to go through seminary because I hadn’t been in college or in school in 20 years. Here I am going to Seminary, reading all these thick, thick books, and trying to make a living and be a dad, and a husband, and everything else at the same time. 

Webinars became the key to making a really good income in my part time. 

So what about you? 

• Do you have a product of your own to sell?
• If you’re already selling a product or service, do you need to increase your sales? 
• Do you need more consistent sales – week in and week out? 
• Are you running ragged trying to get in front of people that will be interested in your service or product – you just can’t get to all of them – geographically it’s not possible, there’s just not enough of you. 
• Do you just wish you could clone yourself to talk to all the people you need to talk to, in order to make more sales and make a better income? 
• Are you interested in tapping into new markets? 

If any of these things are true then you really need to consider using webinars.
