Business is built on relationships, not 30-second commercials. Your ability to connect with people is essential to developing profitable relationships. You’re aware that people do business with those they know, like and trust; yet you struggle with maintaining good relationships with your connections -relationships that result in a referral or client. Not many people were taught how to network for business. They simply show up and pass out business cards without having a plan or strategy for building relationships. Women business owners are natural collaborators and connectors; but with a strategic approach to deepening relationships they can be more productive, effective and build a high net worth network. This session is essential for NAWBO members and leaders who want to strengthen relationships with members, sponsors and the business community. Tarsha Polk, helps attendees move beyond passing out a business card to strategically building successful networking relationships.

Key Takeaways

1. Learn the skills you need to build business relationships.
2. Strategies for developing and nurturing relationships.
3. Ways to leverage your contacts to gain contracts.

On this webinar you will also learn about how the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program can help scale your business as you look to leverage anchor organizations in your region.  Anchor organizations include universities, healthcare organizations, corporations, and arts and culture organizations. They play a significant role in the local economy and have a long-term interest in seeing their local communities thrive (e.g., shared value).

Points of opportunity include:
(1) directing anchor institutional purchasing towards local businesses,
(2) collaborating on workforce development efforts, and
(3) providing networking, consulting and advising opportunities to small businesses.

We tend to show up as we are, regardless of who we are meeting with.  We assume that everyone is like we are.  How often has someone started talking about politics to you, assuming that you are in their party, but you aren’t?  How often do we put our foot in our mouth because of our assumptions?

“Neuroscience has revealed that when we make decisions, we’re not always in charge… and that listening to your gut is critical to the collaboration between emotion and reason in the brain” (Harvard Business Review, Special Issue, January 2019). However, as women entrepreneurs, oftentimes we are told how to express and present ourselves, often ignoring the wisdom we carry within us. Furthermore, powerful cultural messages reinforce some of our negative self-talk while we struggle to balance what we know to be instinctively true with acceptable social behaviors.

We all know that video marketing is crucial to every business these days. Whether you have a product or a service, your client and customer is more likely to watch a video rather than read a long pdf. But tackling the world of video can appear to be a big task. Should I hire a professional spend a lot of dollars and hope to see returns or should I make it myself. If so, where should I begin? How can I use video to tell my brand story more effectively?
