Value Proposition.
Networking is investing time having lots of conversations with people who may or may not need your products or services, but they are all potential referrals or partners that may lead to sales. Key to having these valuable conversations, is understanding your value proposition. In essence, how does your products, services and or knowledge contribute to a positive outcome for others? The bottom line is that your value proposition not only helps you build influence within a group of people, but also makes you look credible.
With a strong value proposition, you will be able to create relationships that are beneficial to both you and others within your network because you can make things easier for them or help solve a problem.
Once you can succinctly share your value proposition, when networking it is also important to understand others value proposition. So, when you meet new people, ask them questions about their business. For example, you can ask questions like:
- “What type of products or services do you offer?”
- “Can you tell me a little more about how your product or service benefits your clients?”
- Where did your passion for this product or service come from?
An important piece of the networking puzzle is to build mutually beneficial relationships. Showing interest to understand what others have to offer, will put you in a better position to utilize and refer their product or services. Your networking efforts will come across as being completely genuine and put them in a better position to refer your business. This goes a long way in building strong relationships to grow your network and your business. Ready to step up to the plate?
