Connect with Your Community

The primary way to grow your business is to connect with your specific community. In many cases, individuals realize that they have various people within their network that they can help.

These individuals know that they can start their business progress by working with these initial people that they already interact with on a regular basis.

At the same time, these initial people are more warm leads because you have been interacting with them in a professional capacity or in another capacity. These people can then help you connect to other individuals as well. This is where the real value comes into play and makes a significant difference. 

There’s a rule or law of networking where the longer your surface level connections, the more likely it is that you can reach the people that you need. The reason why this is so is because of the social graph. The more your connections, the more likely that you can connect to various people that are in need of your specific services.

Then, as you establish your business and help more customers, the more likely that you can help others based on referrals and other related activities.

In summary, reach out to your network, see if they need help from your business, then ask for referrals, do more targeted networking, and partner with related businesses to establish more revenue generation.
