Namaste friends,
I’m telling you incident of Emily.
Emily, just opened “Emites“. Its a start-up that creates custom airborne paper craft for people& companies around the Globe. Emily is Hulk in her paper& string work. But she concerns about Opening her own business. She’s wondering about things like getting the material to make so many kites, hiring employees, finding new customers& selling etc. Emily has heard there are some industry groups she can join to meet other people who might have some advice for her. But she’s new to this.
How should Emily view contacts When she approaches other professionals?
- Like her Direct customers.[❌]
- As potential customers and clients that can just lead to new sales.[❌]
- As new relationships that can develop to become even more helpful overtime.[ ✔]
You learnt,
Making new professional contacts has a lot more value when both people see it as a relationship that will grow overtime. If Emily focuses on building strong connections, she& her network can help each other now and into the future.
