Troop Networking and Sales

Have you helped your competition sell? It may sound aggressive or silly but this is real. If you have a strong focus in your offering you can 100% work with "competition". Focus opens a lot of opportunities to collaborate, build connections and grow your business. Here's a story. #sales #selling #networking #troop

Connecting people is one of the most rewarding aspects of networking. So lean into it! Many professionals genuinely enjoy meeting others who share their enthusiasm for building relationships. By fostering these connections, you create opportunities for growth, collaboration, and camaraderie. #networkingcoach

It's your #audiance silly!! What's the critical detail for the #event your planning? Yup it's your guest list. But who are they what do they need and how will you give it to them? You could start with an #industry focus, an interesting topic and the take aways you can create. Then invite the people you know who will find value in it. I like to go the opposite way on this. Choose a single person. Plan your content for them specifically. The invite people who have the same needs. Spend time focussed on this for any lunch, webinar or talk and you will crush it. #networking #referral

Changing #tactics As I took this picture, I thought "Wow! Gnawing on the bone to get the last scraps is aggressive. I love it". It was a major shift in tactics. Moments before, we were eating meat that was sliced for us and plated beautifully on heated platters. As the good bits were devoured, we stripped meat off the fattier chunks and gristle. These are some of the tastier bits for sure. Then... Ben picked up the bone. In sales, this situation plays out all the time. We have periods of heavy activity meeting with interested prospects with budgets and closing deals. This is the juicy, easy to get meat in sales. Then we may have periods of aminic #pipelines. Times when we wonder what we did to piss off the sales gods. Here’s my question. Do you ignore the gristly #sales #opportunities when times are good? Or, do you always pick up the bone and go for every last morsel? #demandgeneration #SDR #SalesVP #SalesExecutive #Selling #Performance #Mindset #Winning #pipeline

Time management is a critical factor in successful #networking. For those of us who love the buzz of networking, it’s easy to over-commit and stay out too late, leading to burnout. On the flip side, if you're more hesitant, you may leave an event before you've had a chance to make meaningful connections. Setting a "time goal" can help strike the right balance. Setting a time goal lets you be tactical about why you're there—connect, engage, and build relationships without losing track of your priorities. #strategy #sales #leadgeneration #businessdevelopment #timemanagment #Troop

Getting ready for my first #Franchisor conference. I'm excited to learn from some of the best how this industry #networks, sells and finds #success. But....before I enter the room I need to get my #mindset right. #franchise #franchisor #sales #community #businessbuilding #networking

Get loud about #partnerships. The value of your partnership goes way beyond just your direct relationship. Make sure you look in to your #CRM and connect with everyone who might use or have clients that use the services of your new partner. Two things will happen. 1. You'll build deeper connections 2. You generate new business #strategicpartnerships #networking #sales #BusinessDevelopment #BusinessNetworking #troop #troopnetworkingandsales #ForgeYourCommunity

This week I was thinking about the #fear that held me back in #Networking and #Sales. I had the benefit of sales leader and other more senior sales people to help I've been at it so long that I've forgotten the doubt I felt before I called, emailed, invited and connected people. If you are out on your own, then this is for you. It's normal. Embrace the opportunity to face #discomfort. One day you will forget that you worried at all. You'll just #execute and stay on #mission. #ForgeYourCommunity #troopnetworkingandsales #TROOP #genx

Are you making the most of your time away from work this summer? It's crucial to #recharge and be ready to engage with your community. Taking time off isn't just about relaxation; it's about preparing yourself to foster relationships, build referral partners, and ultimately win and make money. When you return, you're not just back at work—you're back, ready to connect and grow your community. Prioritize those moments away. Recharge, refresh, and come back stronger. #TimeManagement #WorkLifeBalance #Recharge #VacationMode #CommunityBuilding #Networking #ReferralPartners #BusinessGrowth #MakeTimeCount #ForgeYourCommunity Join TROOP and forge your community.

The power of #networking might not be obvious at first, but its impact can be profound. By coming together, we can achieve more than we ever could alone. Networking isn't just about making #connections; it's about fostering a supportive #community where we lift each other up and drive each other towards #success. This is the essence of what we do at TROOP. We're a brotherhood dedicated to personal and #professionalgrowth. By supporting each other, sharing resources, and celebrating our victories, we create a resilient and thriving community. This is networking redefined. This is Troop Networking and Sales .
