Sports offer great analogies for business strategies. Every summer I fit in a game of golf or two. I love being in the sunshine and on the green grass. Sometimes I am searching for my ball ball in the trees but nonetheless I have learned in order to have a great shot or hit the sweet spot and get your ball to where you want it to go you must have good follow through on your swing. You cannot just put in half your efforts and expect to get the results you want. The same in business.
To get the results you want – you need to ensure that you:
Get to know new people at networking events and discover new ways you can help them get what they want.
Follow-Up with Them within 24-48 hours of meeting them with a phone call or email.
Follow Through – the conversation does not end there! Can you introduce them to others in your network or support them with a new article or magazine you read.
Follow through is the execution of the plan. Get to know people for who they are. They may never do business with you and that’s okay but they may know others who need your products and services. Be consistent and build relationships. Discover your sweet spot the view is beautiful at the top!
