How to build a solid business relationship
Hey guys its about 1:10am on a Monday night. I am in a bit of a bad mood because on my way to work tonight my truck started overheating. But anyway writing seems to get my mind off of things and when I reach out to help others,it really makes my problems seem minimal.
Now that we got that out of the way, I wanted to speak to you about building business relationships. This skill is crucial to your business, in fact without building business relationships it would be pretty damaging to yourself.
So let's get started. When posting in facebook groups many times I see newbies spamming their affiliate links all over the place and honestly that is not a good idea. Your potential business partners will automatically view you as a spammer, and you would have left a bad first impression. To be effective in building a business relationship you have to actually get to know people. Now before you go sending out mass friend requests to everyone that likes your post, hit the brakes and slow down. LOL Actually get to know people one on one. For example you see someone posts in a group you are in and you are not friends with this person yet, try complimenting them on their post and mention how you enjoy connecting with like minded people. Nine times out of ten they will be more inclined to want to learn more about you because you reached out to them first. Don't worry if they are promoting something different. Just think, it might be able to help your business in the long run. This is one of the most effective ways to actually connect with people in my opinion.
So you have had a pretty extensive conversation and you seem to have hit it off. One thing I forgot to mention is that other marketers can see the two of you connecting and in turn this could attract them to the conversation as well. So have fun and actually talk to people, don't just spam links. In addition hootsuite is a good tool to use but it really gives off a bad vibe when people see 20 posts all at one time. I know hootsuite can save time but as far as your engagement, it can kind of hurt you. So thanks for reading my blog, I just wanted to share my 2 cents and hopefully it will help your business prosper.
Warmest regards,
