Ep 8: Networking Like A PRO

Welcome to the podcast, Dena Woulfe, former nurse turned holistic nurse. It was incredible to hear her "corporate" story about her time working in a hospital, the biggest greed machine there is, and what led her to leave and start her own thing. It's crazy to be doing a job that you don't believe in and we are so proud of what she accomplished after leaving.

Dena shares with us that she built her entire business by networking and building relationships, but it was a little difficult because she is naturally an introvert. We definitely related to that, even Mandy Holt, who is an extrovert who becomes very shy at networking events.

Dena also shares how important it is to make building relationships and doing 1 to 1 meetings the focus of networking. Networking is not for sales pitches!

Her big secret to networking success is to bring value to every single meeting and new relationship. She says "givers gain" and she's exactly right. If you give first, you will always get something back in return. The sad part is that not everyone knows this and still walks into a meeting and immediatly starts to attempt to sell to the room.

Her next secret is to create relationships with people who do the same thing or something similar to you because those people are the best referral partners. You generally have the same client avatar and you are way more likely to send and receive business together. No one is your competition!

Dena's last secret is that networking isn't just to build your business, it is also a great place for job seekers to find a job. People would be surprised how many people will connect you with their own networks to help you find a job or even start a business. Amazing!
