Learn to Give Value

Being able to give value to people you are networking with should not be difficult. Provide information that can be of use to people you would want on your team can only help you in building your business, branding you as a business person and make you more successful entrepreneur. The following are ways to give value to your networking group.

You don't need to be an expert in every subject to be able to give great value to your group of people. What you are providing is information that could potentially help another business person to grow their business. Just be sincere in what you are offering and you will find that people respond very quickly to people that offer something without expecting anything in return.

They are many ways to communicate value to your network group. The best one is to create an email list of your own. A list that would build from contacts you make every day. Other places would social medias like Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin. Building your own blog and advertising it through different websites and social medias would also be a good way.

What can I provide that will be of value to my network group? On the internet today, they are thousands of people writing article about everything. When you see one that is relevant to what you do, forward it. Write articles yourself and distribute them yourself (Ezine article is a great place). Once published, forward them. If you have a blog, use it to promote those articles.



Other ways to give value could be to give your group marketing advice or tricks of the trade. There is some great alliance partner you could recommend as well. Recommending a good book, business plan templates, good directories you use yourself, provide some testimonials. If you can, help them with some free promotional tools. Provide a way for them to ask you questions, like your email, twitter account, facebook etc.

A good way to give value is to promote the work they do. I.E, if they wrote an article, may be published a video, forward it to your network group. Invite them to business meeting, training seminars and last, you may even want to buy something they are selling to build that relationship.

.

Following some of these guidelines, or even better, all of them will help you brand yourself within your community as a great leader and someone who people want to do business with.

Re: Have a Security Clearance Question? But are afraid to ask? - I think I've already addressed your topic in another forum or thread, but I think the easiest way to generate additional traffic to your web site is to provide content that is fresh, new, and insightful. Give users a reason to access your web site besides purchasing your services. Give them a reason to gain knowledge and they will come back and give you business when they can. Good luck in your campaign, and I hope everything turns out for you! One question I have is do security clearances check your family information as well (family criminal offences, etc).
