Networking...
READ MORE
I met a financial advisor about two years ago. Recently, he contacted me by email out of the blue. He was struggling in the first year of his practice and felt if he didn’t get help fast, he would fail. After a quick search about “how to be better at networking,” he found me.
We chatted on the phone for a while. He read my book. Listened to my audio. And I spent some time with him on the phone over a two month period.
As it turned out, he did in fact fail at being a financial advisor. (Clearly, I’m not very good.)
He emerged in another sales role outside of financial services: salary, partial commission, the whole thing. He was invited to the launch of a networking group which seemed like a good opportunity for him. The attendees were there “by invitation only” and there was nobody else in the group that sold his products and services. In fact, the group was made up of successful business owners and service providers that were great at networking.
