How to Improve

🌟 Welcome to Your Quick Boost Sales Training: Let's Expand Your Network Like Never Before! 🌟

Hello there, go-getter! You’re on the path to smashing your sales goals, and a little wisdom from your network can give you just the nudge you need to soar even higher. Let's get down to it. 🎯

🎁 The Gift of Asking for Help

First off, it's okay to need help! Even the most seasoned professionals had mentors and colleagues who helped them along the way. Identify ONE specific area where you could use some advice. Maybe it's how to deal with difficult customers, or perhaps you're looking for tips to close deals faster. Got it? Great!

📞 Dial-a-Friend (or Two!)

Now, think of TWO people in your existing network who might have the knowledge or experience to help. Reach out and schedule a brief 10-minute call. During the call, make sure to:

Listen: Don't just wait for your turn to speak. Actively listen to the advice you're receiving.

Learn: Take notes. Use their insights to fuel your progress.

Be Curious: Ask questions to get a fuller understanding of their perspective.

💌 Follow the Referral Rainbow

Before wrapping up the call, don't forget to ask, "Is there anyone else you think I should talk to who could help?" By doing this, you're giving them an opportunity to expand your network further.

🙏 The Thank-You Loop

Once you’ve spoken to the new connections, it's time to go back to your original contact. Shoot them a quick email or message:

Thank Them: A little gratitude goes a long way.

Share Insights: Briefly explain what you learned and why it was helpful.

Talk Action: Specify what you're planning to do next, thanks to their help.

🌈 Why This Little Step Makes a BIG Difference

Doing this loop closes the circle and lays the foundation for future introductions. It's a win-win situation. You get valuable advice and perhaps a new contact, and they get the joy of helping someone and hearing about the results.

😎 Feel Brave? Go Beyond the Comfort Zone

When you're ready, apply the same approach to people you don’t know as well. You'll find that people are often more willing to help than you might think. All you have to do is ask!

🌟 In Summary

Don’t underestimate the power of networking and asking for help. It’s a low-risk strategy with a potentially high reward. Plus, it strengthens your professional relationships and builds trust, setting the stage for future collaborations.

Everyone wins in this scenario, and as they say, success is sweeter when shared.
