Here are the highlights of this episode:
Basile enjoys helping people who want to use networking as a tool to build their business, because some of them feel unprepared or uncomfortable at a networking event; they don't know how to approach someone. He advises that number 1-be interested and number 2-always put our personal interest last. The beginning of a relationship works that way and from there the person is ready to walk with you. Basile says if it's not done well in the beginning, it will be difficult for anything to happen further.
Basile’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): Basile's tips for networking is that when you need somebody, give them your attention. Never be wrapped up about your product or services. He states that networking is based on the 'labor of speech', give them your attention and then they will be willing to listen to you in return. Studies have shown there are challenges in doing follow-ups in networking, and Basile's team knows exactly how to help you on this.
“Business development has 3 sections: networking, promotional marketing, and then sales. So, networking is the entrance point" – Basile Lemba
