Episode #290: 5 Powerful Asks of your Network
It may sometimes feel as though your audience isn’t growing, you’re not getting the number (or quality) of leads that you desire, or you’re not hitting your revenue goals... no matter how much work you’re putting into your business. Especially as a solopreneur, you may reach a point where you feel as though your business has plateaued or stagnated.
The problem? We often hesitate to ask for help — even when our contacts would be more than willing to lend their support or expertise, connect us with talented service providers, send us referrals, or introduce us to their audiences!
By learning how and when to leverage the valuable relationships in your network, you can speed up your growth, connect with new customers, and build your business with more ease. All you need to do is learn how to ask. In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I explore the fine art of leveraging your network — including in-person contacts, mastermind cohorts, industry peers, and virtual communities!
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How to nurture a healthy and mutually beneficial networking relationship
- 6 questions to start asking the people in your network
- The biggest benefits of joining a thriving community of your fellow entrepreneurs!
