MAKING CONNECTIONS

A Connection Statement is a simple way to explain what you do so that people know immediately who you serve, and also who you are not for.

Your Connection Statement helps prevent entrepreneurs from getting tongue-tied so they can talk about what they do without confusion and start making more sales.

When the other person gets what you do, it’s easy for them to support you and refer you.

GETTING CLEAR ON YOUR SOUL MATE CLIENT

Know who you are going to target.

Even though you may have a number of different ideal clients, likely there’s a particular type of person that is most suited to your product or service and the way that you deliver it.

Remember, when we don’t have a specific type of client in mind, we can waste time spending our time and attention on the wrong people.
