When we at first started our companies, we had to determine how we had been heading to marketplace ourselves. Type of an apparent statement – each and every company has to do that. But, we had an additional problem. We had been new to the area. So, our objective was to get to know as numerous individuals as possible.

We did that by turning into “promiscuous networkers”. We attended and joined any and each and every association we could handle. This was Fantastic for meeting individuals. After a couple of months, we could walk into a room and just about everyone would acknowledge us. They recognized us as the Johnsons, that youthful few in company.

But, it wasn’t so great for truly acquiring company. They remembered us, but often did not have a *clue* about the solutions we supplied. You see, we had missed a crucial component to networking, and all forms of advertising for that matter. We hadn’t defined our marketplace and consequently weren’t attending occasions exactly where our marketplace was likely to be. Had we carried out that, individuals would have remembered us AND our solutions.

If you are a Micro-Business proprietor, you are the encounter of your company. Individuals also may acknowledge you as quickly as you walk into a room. After that, they ought to make an automated connection to your solutions or items. Now, individuals seem to know us as “press release girl” and “database guy”. Even though we offer other solutions, these are extremely great connections in our eyes.

What is the automated connection that comes to thoughts when individuals see you? Is this the connection that you want? If not, what can you alter to make certain that other individuals know you for your solutions or items?
