What is the most effective way to market your products or services? The number one answer you hear from successful business owners is “word of mouth.”
But who is going to spread the word if you don’t already have a customer base? The answer starts with “you” and grows from there.
Perhaps you don’t know a lot of people. Or the people you do know don’t seem to be helping. You need to go out and meet new people and there are a variety of ways to do this by spending time and very little money.
Focus your efforts on two main groups:
1. Consumers – those who directly use your products or services.
2. Centers of Influence – those who can refer others to buy your products or services.
Here are four ways to meet these people:
1. Networking
2. Public Relations
3. Speaking Opportunities
4. Cold Calling
You’re probably feeling a bit nervous about going out to meet your public. Don’t worry, everyone feels that, but with a little bit of training, you can master your fears and transform them into business success.
