Here’s how I went from 0 new clients in the last 7 months to closing 2 new clients and finding 4 strategic referral partners within 5 weeks of implementing this system….

With my consulting business in existence for 2 years, I had never been able to grow my business beyond my first 3 clients. When one of those clients dropped off earlier this year, I knew I needed to work harder on my business development to continue being able to pay my rent. I set about implementing a marketing plan.

At first I tried video reviews. I spent weeks at a time creating new videos, even getting some professional feedback. After sending out 51 video reviews and not getting a single new client, I was totally frustrated. What’s more, I’d spent hours creating these video reviews, and when I followed them up with a phone call, people hung up on me! I don’t know what I was doing wrong, but video reviews just didn’t work for me.

Next I tried direct cold calling. I absolutely dreaded Wednesdays (my cold calling day) and I often gave up after just a few calls cause I couldn’t bear being palmed off every time. I absolutely hated it and I think that came across in every conversation I had. So I gave up on cold calling because it didn’t compliment my strengths and made me actually dislike my own business.

By the time I sent out direct mail letters to businesses who were advertising in the local newspaper, I was really desperate to find the right thing. I tried different “grabbers”, using a print out of their website or their newspaper ad, but it was always the wrong time to contact people. They were busy, not interested, had just re-done their website (don’t you hate that one?), or just gave me a plain no.

The fact was, I found it really hard to contact the right person, at the right time and in the right way. In fact, it was such a numbers game that I spent all my time with ineffective marketing methods that just didn’t work for me…

Despite all these efforts I didn’t add a single client to my portfolio in 7 months! I was trying too hard, working long hours and I wasn’t even sure that I was doing the right thing. I was frustrated with myself and the business that I originally loved was becoming a chore because I was losing motivation and not seeing any results.

That’s when I started to look for something different. Someone suggested to me, that I should exploit my strengths and build more long-term relationships by attending networking events. At the time I thought this guy was crazy! Sure, I could build long-term relationships, but I was shy and even shaking every time I stood up in front of a group of people.

I was terrified of networking because I am more of an introvert and I had never considered myself a “networker”. However, not knowing how to pay my rent if one of my existing clients dropped out, I knew I needed to give it a try and get out of my comfort zone.

Even before I attended my first networking event, I made a big mistake and there were plenty more learnings along the way….

• I didn’t implement a strategy of where I wanted to go and why. Instead, I attended every networking event in town. Business breakfasts, lunchtime meetings, after-work speed-networking… you name it – I went there.
• I hadn’t rehearsed my pitch enough, having to read it off paper while another internet marketing consultant dazzled the same group with a great joke, leaving me wishing I had stayed at home.
• Not researching the event, so I didn’t know that I was supposed to prepare a special saying to share with the group.

So how come networking has worked for me despite making all these mistakes? Well along the way I discovered different strategies and techniques that really allowed me to leverage my time and relationships to get the most out of networking, not just before attending the event but for months following….

4 Networking Myths Busted

When people ask me about networking and how it has helped me to grow my business, they raise the same objections again and again. The truth is, it’s not these perceived disadvantages that make networking difficult – it’s how you plan to turn them into your advantage. Let me tell you why:

• Myth No. 1: Networking is time consuming. Yes, traditional networking can be time consuming and is seriously outdated. It only focuses on numbers – the more the better. Networking like this is often a chore, takes hours, even days of your time and delivers average results. In fact, often it doesn’t work at all. However, if you follow the right system that allows you to leverage your time, build strategic relationships that deliver long-term leads and build your circle of influence, you will see how your results can snowball with only a few networking events. Timewise that’s less than 10 video reviews.
• Myth No. 2: “I am too introverted.” It’s a total myth that you would have to be an extrovert to be successful at networking. Personally, I am introverted and would often prefer to be alone, rather than be around people. The fact is that it’s not whether you’re introverted or extroverted, but whether you are open to build long-term relationships with other people. There are always a mix of people at networking events – you’ll find plenty of introverts and plenty of extroverts – and you’ll be able to find the people you resonate with most. In the end, it’s not whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert that will make networking work for you – it’s whether you follow the right system.
• Myth No. 3: You can build your business while staying at home in front of your computer. Many people I know would much prefer to stay at home in front of their computer to grow their business. In fact, I used to be just like that, and I can tell you that I have NEVER closed a client without getting out of the house. If you think about it, most of the people who are successful will actually go out there, talk about their business and build real relationships with real people. If you want to stay at home and grow your business from there – go ahead. My experience, and that of many successful people is that you will need to do something differently to get different results. Personally, when I started to get out of the house and started networking, my business started growing and I have been getting 3-4 warm leads every week for the past month. So you can keep dreaming about that magical internet income or you can get serious about your business and start getting our of the house.
• Myth No. 4: “I don’t have any contacts or I have never been networking before”. That’s how everyone starts. No contacts, never been to a networking event – and one doesn’t come without the other. So if you want to build your business and be regarded as an expert in your field, you’ll need to let more and more people know about you. And the best way of doing that is to start somewhere and to go to your first networking event.

Soon people started asking me questions about networking. They wanted to know everything from how I got new clients, to how I prepared, how I pitched and how to keep in touch with people after the networking event was finished without spending too much time or money. By the time I was sharing advice on networking a couple of times every week, I nearly had a complete information product at hand.
