If you are looking for success in any venture, whether service-related or otherwise, you must put people first.
Forming connections are what pushes you forward and take you to the next level.
Focusing on people is what draws more people to you.
Build Connections: Draw People
Building those meaningful connections begin with your authenticity, your ability to communicate that, and then listening for understanding.
Authenticity is a Critical Component of Drawing People
Why is authenticity important in forming connections?
“It is through the strength of what is genuine that meaningful connections build into relationships.”
Nothing else will stand.
People can sense a facade from miles away. So, authenticity is important.
“You can only lean against something strong” – Tamsen Webster.
Draw People with Genuine Conversation
When approaching someone you wish to join your team, use your service, or become a long-time client, have a genuine conversation.
As Shawn Q said in a powerful forum,
“Don’t be a salesperson be a professional. Professionals create an experience a client will never forget.”
Communicate Effectively
Treat people with respect.
Treat them as individuals, who have their own unique experiences, likes, loves, and interests. People are not cookies. So don’t use cookie cutter approaches.
Be genuinely interested.
But, listen above all.
Find out who the person is you want to welcome on to your team, to become your client, that you wish to serve.
“Make having a conversation with you irresistibly valuable.”- Shawn Q
How you Communicate can Draw people or Push Them Away
Be careful with how you communicate.
Remember It’s not only what you say, but it’s how you say it.
“The words you use in your communication will determine the chances of your next meeting with the person!” – Anuj Jasani.
You want the next meeting because that is why you are there in the first place. So, with every person you meet, be intentional. Be true. Above all be you!
And if you really want to draw people,
Do not sell serve
Don’t tell ask
Do not push Help
Do not control Lead – Shawn Q.
You will be surprised who you will draw.
This is a guarantee!
People are drawn to the light, so be the light they need!
