Trying to do everything by yourself? I made this mistake too. A couple of years ago: I wanted to do everything by myself. Learn everything from scratch to implement. Of course, it had some benefits. Learned many new skills. It boosted my self-confidence. And I still believe nothing is rocket science. Sounds good right? But I never considered time investment. Now my way is to do networking. Networking with the best. - It saves time - You learn from the best - You connect with amazing people - You get insights you can't find online You don't need to learn everything. Get better at networking. Ask for help if needed. People are willing to help more than you think. And of course, Help people when they ask. What's one networking success you've had? Let's discuss this in the comments!

It should be easy to answer... What is it I do? I am a salesperson and my job is to bring business through the door. That's the top and bottom of it, but what does that actually mean? Finding potential clients. This can be quite a lengthy process...not every match is a perfect one. Our company ethos is about providing every client with 100% quality service and customer care and so from the very beginning the match needs to be right. Then learn about the company's needs and wants, their plans and aspirations and the direction in which they are heading, all so that we can be on our toes and support them during their journey, providing them with support that enables and strengthens their business choices and successes. My job is to support every member of our growing team, to help plan, to strategies, to spot trends, to see how we can help solve other companies' problems and to be the best that we can be. My job is to learn. Every single day I have learnt and continue to learn something new. Whether it is directly relating to the industry, or a shortcut on the keyboard (which never used to use!), or even my body language and what I can do with it to help others feel more comfortable. I'd like to think that what I do is to treat people respectfully and be a genuine person who is down-to-earth and personal when speaking to others whether that be at a networking event, on calls, in meetings or posting here on LinkedIn. In a nutshell, I'm here to see how BSA Networks Ltd can help you. BSA Networks Ltd Your Network, Connected 📶

Networking is like the lifeblood of professional success, but it’s not easy, nor is it comfortable (for most!).   I refused to insist you network only suggest the benefits of it;   1. Opportunities! Networking opens doors to opportunities you might not have even known existed. Whether it's a job opening, a collaboration, or a mentorship opportunity, connections can lead you to paths you wouldn't have found on your own.   2. Knowledge! The exchange of ideas and information that happens during networking is invaluable. You get insights into different industries, learn about trends, and gain perspectives that can broaden your horizons and help you stay ahead in your field.   3. Personal Branding! As you engage with professionals in your field, you're also shaping your own personal brand. Networking allows you to showcase your expertise, skills, and achievements, establishing yourself as a thought leader and building credibility within your industry.   4. Long Term gains! Networking isn't just about immediate gains; it's an investment in your long-term success. The connections you build today can pay dividends throughout your career, opening up new opportunities and helping you navigate the ever-changing landscape of the professional world.   The fear of networking and what could go wrong far out ways the meaningful relationships that can propel your career forward.

One Listed Company's sales were not as expected, and it wasn't just the market. The problem was at the heart of their distribution network. Distributors faced challenges with succession and internal disputes.  As a Family Business Mentor, I stepped in to help.   My job was to get to the root of the issues. The key? Succession planning. The distributors had overlooked its importance. This was the turning point for Listed Co and its distributors. Listed Co invited me & I held a workshop to tackle this head-on. It was a chance for open, direct communication. This interactive session changed everything. My plan for fixing Listed Co's distribution network had 5 main points: → Instill a long-term vision beyond just money → Give strategies to improve business models → Highlight ways to safeguard the family's finances → Ensure the business can support generations to come → Encourage distributors to see the business as a legacy The impact was immediate and deep. Distributors expressed thanks, and sales orders came in. It showed renewed faith in Listed Co's commitment. Most importantly, the session set the stage for long-term relationships. Ones that will help Listed Co thrive for years to come. Stop letting your business slip away because of internal disputes and challenges of clients. Salute to Listed Co for caring so much Akhilesh Chitlangia Opt for strategic mentorship and personalised guidance.  It can help family businesses overcome complex problems. In today's changing market, such guidance is priceless. —- Thinking about seeking family business mentorship? DM me to get started today. Find this valuable? Repost to inspire your network ♻️

It’s funny how today, networking, especially for business, can feel awkward and intimidating. We may seek out training to improve our networking skills and I’ve even heard that people have written books to share networking tips.   But we’ve been networking effortlessly since we were kids. My favourite childhood networking event was the birthday party.   As a kid, I loved getting invited to birthday parties but it was common that I wouldn’t know most of the people there.   If the party was for my schoolmate, it was often filled with their siblings, cousins and family friends.   If it was the birthday of a family friend, it would be my introduction to their school and neighbours friends.   I would pose all the key kid questions. Where do you go to school? What grade are you in? What sports do you play? What music do you like?   I may make a new friend if they live close enough for us to meet up on a playground or go for a bike ride. Other guests I may not see again until next year’s birthday party. Regardless, it was always a fun celebration fueled by cake with the anticipation of a loot bag.   The experience was always richer with all the new personalities I would meet.   How would it change our business networking experience if we approached it with the same anticipation and curiosity we had as children getting ready to attend a friend’s birthday party?

Following the business workshop yesterday, I spent the afternoon with a great client James Priest of Juniper Manton - a growing Care Home business - running an Alignment session - initially looking at and planning for, the next 18 months within their business. Aligning the personal and business goals, we then created a Vision Orbit to look further out, stretching to 5 years and what the business will look like then? Finally we used all of this to create the 90 Day focus - what is needed within Q1 to ensure we are on track for the 5 year plan? Now time to bring it all to life.....using our 90 Day Plan and 121 coaching sessions. - How aligned are you and your team/business for 2024? - Now is a great time of year to sit down and revisit your plan, your goals and align everything. - Are you still travelling in the right direction, carrying out the right tasks at the right time? - And are your team doing the same? Always happy to have a chat if you need some assistance in your journey - karlmorris@actioncoach Altrincham & Sale Chamber of Commerce real5 Networking Knutsford & Altrincham real5 Networking Manchester Sci-Tech Daresbury Warrington Business Exchange
