Business Opportunities
How to Find ThemWhere can you find business opportunities? The answer to this question is 'everywhere!' If consultants are truly hungry for new contacts leading to new business, they must be constantly aware by listening for obvious and not so obvious pportunities. You can not choose when business opportunities come your way. They come at a time of their own choosing, so you have to be on the alert to recognise them. Everyone should view themselves as a TV switched off at the remote control. Have your mind in a similar state to that little red dot... always be on stand-by! When you listen attentively for opportunities, they will be there. They are on boats, trains, planes, in queues at weddings and all social functions. Just be friendly, chat ask questions, listen and do the last of these actions attentively. Networking does not work if one switches off or fails to remain alert. |
