How can you drive sales through using strategic networking? Imagine that you are an auto mechanic and you go to your local chamber of commerce. And you're in there and you meet a lot of great people. One of them's a real estate agent. One of them makes K. you know, they're at the bakery down the street, and one of them does wedding planning. And then you also meet a tow truck driver and a car wash owner. Now, consider those five people.

Of those five people, you're the auto mechanic. Who should you want to be able to meet? Well, I hope it's clear that you want to meet the tow truck driver and the car wash owner because you can potentially refer business to them. So when you're networking, the question is, isn't who can help me. The question is, who can I help? And so here's the way that this works. So you're there, you meet the five people and you have a nice conversation with the three, but it's really the two that you want to then set up a lunch or a coffee after the fact.

Those are the people that you want to be able to create relationships with. And now when you're at that coffee with them, I want you to ask this one strategic question, which is, how can I help you? So when you're sitting down for lunch with that, with the car wash guy, hey, how can I help you? And they say, well, you know, maybe if you take this pack of coupons and I'm going to give you a coupon of 10 and you can maybe sell them at your auto mechanic place and you can, you know, help me in that way or maybe you can introduce me to this person or whatever the case may be.

Remember, the key ingredient to networking is who can I help and then how can I help you? Then you actually help them. if you can. Now, here's the deal. When I started in real estate sales 20 years ago, I remember I did the same philosophy. I remember I had built up, you know, with electricians and painters,

carpet people, that type of stuff, people I could refer to as a real estate agent. I remember one person in particular who owned a flooring company and I referred to him maybe six or seven transactions and guess what I got zero. Well, that's either on me for not teaching them how to refer to,

to me or it's on him for not having the ability to refer to me. Either way, when you do, when you find yourself in our position, you may want to upgrade, top grade, right? I found a new flooring guy to refer to who has referred to me for the last 18 years. Because the first one, even though I was helping him, he wasn't helping me back. But it's about helping them first. Remember that. Key ingredients? Who can I help? Then do a one-on-one. You're not going to get any business from the event. You can get business from the relationships that you establish at the networking event. And then when you meet with them for the first time, how can I help you? And then through time, you help, you help, you help. And then you set the expectation that they help you back. That's how you

get business through strategic networking. This is Dan Rocheon, host of No Broke Months. Do you want consistent and predictable income with No Broke Months?
