Networking Austin is Your Virtual Sales Force
It is important to understand that Networking Austin represents a virtual sales force for your
business. By becoming an active member of Networking Austin, a member can, in essence, create
a large group of marketing professionals that go into the real world and refer business to other
members in the group from their own business networks.
The most important part of this process is to clearly understand why another member would go to
bat for you, and how best to encourage those other members in your group to actually take the
time, energy and effort to send you that business contact.
The process centers around mutual obligation created by the clear understanding that in
generating leads for other Networking Austin members, they will in turn generate leads for you. As
with life, the more you give, the more you will receive.
Leads can come in many forms and are not always as direct as we think. Here are some
examples:
* An idea on how to better tackle a problem or business issue more efficiently.
* An idea for additional or different marketing strategies or expanded sales base.
* Ideas on funding or opportunities for different business concepts all together.
A lead in an effective business networking group can take all sorts of forms including personal
support in good or difficult situations. This is another form of currency used in the payment of your
sales force.
So, when I hear from a member that he or she has a limited source of leads for anyone in the
group, I try to help them think outside the box with regard to how they can help other members.
A direct business lead is great, but to build on the obligation the group may have for you, expand
your thinking to include all that you can give to fellow Networking Austin members in addition to
the more traditional business lead. Sometimes it has a greater value!
