Networking isn't About You

<p>People think that networking is all about impressing the person you’re talking to, so they would a) buy what you are selling and/or b) refer you.&nbsp;</p><p>And by people, I mean me.</p><p>Well, not anymore, but that was definitely me at the beginning of my sales game.</p><p>I thought my first sales meeting was basically a business AA meeting. And in my conversations, I would really sell how good I was at “AA.”</p><p>I got really good at telling these elaborate stories about my journey, who I was, and all the things I’d done and accomplished.</p><p>And that worked with a lot of people, but just to the point where they would say “Wow you’ve done a lot for a young guy,” a stroke of my ego, which seemed to be what I was going for.</p><p>What I realized very quickly, though, was the more I made the conversation about myself, the less referrals and introductions I got.</p><p>I even had one person tell me “Donnie, I can’t introduce you because I don’t think my clientele is the caliber of business you need to be working with.”</p><p>So all of those techniques I was using would have worked if I was looking to make zero profits and have zero sales.</p><p>So if you’re going into networking and making it all about you, all you’re doing is making yourself non referable.</p><h2>Links</h2><ol><li>Website - <a href="https://successchampionnetworking.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://successchampionnetworking.com/</a></li><li>YouTube Video - (available soon)</li><li>Blog - (available soon)</li><li>Facebook Group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessChampion" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessChampion</a></li></ol><br/><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Champions 90</strong></p><p>Champions 90, isn't a workout routine or a fitness routine.
