In this episode, we discuss the essential elements of building lasting business relationships: Know, Like, Trust, and Remember. These four pillars are crucial to creating opportunities for sales and long-term success in any business. We’ll briefly break down each of these components and explore why they matter so much.

1. Know:
   • If people don’t know you, they can’t do business with you. It’s vital to make yourself known, but equally important to take an interest in knowing others first. The more people who know who you are and how you can help, the more opportunities you have to serve them, leading to more sales.
2. Like:
   • Being likable is just as important as being knowledgeable. If people don’t like you, they’ll simply choose to do business with someone else. We’ll dive into why likeability matters and how it can directly impact your sales.
3. Trust:
   • Trust is the foundation of any relationship. People need to trust you to want to do business with you. Are you someone who keeps their word? Do your actions align with what you say? We'll discuss how to build and inspire trust in your clients.
4. Remember:
   • Even if people know, like, and trust you, if they don’t remember you at the right time, you won’t get their business. We’ll talk about how to stay top-of-mind with your clients and why staying connected is key to ensuring repeat business and referrals.

Key Takeaways:

• Focus on making yourself known and showing genuine interest in others.
• Be likable: It’s not enough to be good at what you do; people need to want to work with you.
• Build trust by keeping your word and being consistent in your actions.
• Stay memorable by staying connected and relevant in the minds of your clients.

In this episode, we explore the common misconception that there aren’t enough people to sell to. If there’s an abundance of people, why do many feel like they lack clients? The answer often lies not in the availability of people but in how well we build, grow, and nurture our networks.

We discuss why identifying the cause of a problem is crucial before jumping to solutions, using the analogy of a flooded house: you wouldn’t start mopping without first finding the source of the water. The same goes for sales—if you feel a lack of clients, the first step is understanding why, not just looking for quick fixes.

Using real-life examples of sales legends like Tom Hopkins and Joe Girard, who built strong networks that led to record-breaking careers, we dive into the importance of connecting with others. I share my own experience of moving to a new city, knowing only a few people, and within months building a network of over 150 individuals.

You’ll walk away with actionable tips on how to step outside your comfort zone, meet new people, and continuously strengthen your network so you’ll never lack people to sell to.

Key Takeaways:

• Shift your mindset: There’s no shortage of people, only a lack of connection.
• Always seek the cause before rushing to find a solution.
• The health and growth of your network directly impact your sales.
• Action steps to start building and nurturing your network today.
