Craig Mckim Networking

First, let me apologize for the audio. Was using a different mic. Thanks!! I hosted a Networking event for the Executive Protection industry a couple weeks ago in Columbus, OH. We had a great time! Made some connections, colleagues and friends! Some saw more individual success than others, but it was a successful event overall. My unending gratitude for the attendees and sponsors!  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/craig-mckim/support

Jim Rohn was a big believer in personal development. I couldn’t agree more. Here are a few thoughts on it! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/craig-mckim/support

Your inner circle ⭕️, work friends, extended family and peers can all be adding to your success, which, in turn, you can add to their success! Do they know what you do? Can they easily explain it? Get those supporters “in the know” about your goals and/or business and see what happens

Networking is not about going to events to hand out or collect business cards. Nor is it about spamming contacts with emails selling your product or service. What it’s partly about is consistently staying in front of your connections and keeping yourself top of mind. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/craig-mckim/support

We get sidetracked networking where we are always comfortable. And though have a consistent circuit is important, taking a step out of turn every once in awhile can prove incredibly valuable to meet those outside your circle. These new contacts can be great for both you and them. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/craig-mckim/support

Loose contact habits allow you to make contact with your network without being pulled into a long, drawn out back and forth via email or text conversation. A quick “Hey! Hope all is well. The attached article made me think of you. Have a good one!” Press send and move on. That person now knows you were thinking of them and also knows you don’t expect long conversations all the time either. Win-win!  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/craig-mckim/support
