you and most importantly what we can do together.
When doing a business, figure out what you're looking for and
they become your target clients. These are the best people you are
going to work with.
Your target partners would be the people selling to your target
clients.
Tip# 1: Find your niche. Narrow it down to specific businesses
and don't go after generic businesses. Know who you want to work
with.
Want to be the first person that people would think of when
they hear an opportunity for you.

target market for your specific product.

I make more money.

referrals out.

The ask is something
concise, specific, to the point and thrives at the heart of
the matter.
The main purpose of asking is to allow for the right people to
show up.
Basic content of the ask: It contains your
name, your business name, your business category and then who's the
one person or one company or one idea that if someone in the room
could connect to you right now will absolutely make your week.
Action steps:
Create your ask to be around 15- 20 seconds and practice that
in a video.
When you've created your ask video, put this in your LinkedIn
profile.
Figure out 3 to 5 people who you absolutely need to meet to
grow your business and start incorporating that into your ask.
