Build your business in a slow economy! Part 3

Have you started implementing the first 2 parts? How much of a difference has it made in your business? If you implement a little you will improve a little. If you implement a lot then you will get a lot.

This week's tip is to network and partner up. Join a networking group, chamber of commerce or volunteer in an organization that you will meet people who will need your services or partner up with another company that already sales to your potential clients.

It's very true that if you give without expecting anything in return you will receive back ten fold of what you gave. I do a lot of volunteer work and have found that with the relationships that I have built over the years, I have made some great contacts and made a lot of friends. It's a win-win all of the way around.

Have you thought of putting together your own networking group? What about a networking lunch? Would any of your clients or friends be able to work with each other? I bet they would. Just think of the "feel-good" feeling you will get knowing that you have helped your clients and friends out. Trust me. Do this unselfishly and it will come back ten fold.

Who can you partner with that already sales to your type of potential clients? Can you swap client lists? Will they endorse you? Do you feel comfortable endorsing them?

Always remember to wear your company logo whenever you are going to be in a situation where your potential clients will be around. A creative tagline can entice people to ask questions about your business making it an easy marketing opportunity for you.
