Day Sixteen: Expanding your Network

Part One: Expanding your Network + WHY It's so Critical

Expanding your network is CRITICAL to do RIGHT from the GET GO as a Coach. Take it from ME. Learn from MY mistakes!

I waited until I was OUT of people in my warm market to start adding friends to my friends list... And guess what happened? It was like I started from the start, ALL OVER AGAIN.

I had to build trust, build relationships, add a ton of people -- and still did NOT hit Success Club, all because that takes time to build.

So my suggestion, start RIGHT AWAY. Start with good habits so that in 3-6 months when your warm market is tapped out, you now have relationships with 3 people PER DAY that you've added for 3-6 months ... That's a LOT of people!

Part Two: HOW do you Expand your Network

Use this visual below.

I use this strategy:

I go into my personal favourite groups that have nothing to do with Coaching --- Makeup, organization, mom groups, budgeting groups, etc. I talk to people in there just like I would if I were NOT a Coach.

I comment on their post, compliment what they're doing, then ask a QUESTION. This gets a convo started and then I add them as a Friend.

From there, I build a relationship with them by putting them in my Potential Challengers Friends list (when you add them and it says FRIENDS, click that, you'll see a drop down, and put them into Add to Another List, create a Potential Challengers and Potential Coaches LIST), and everyday, on my RIGHT HAND SIDE of Facebook, go to my friends and click Potential Challengers. This changes my newsfeed to ONLY SHOW posts from my potential Challengers. I then like/comment + build a relationship, and then bring it to a personal message and get to know them.

1.

Add yourself to 5 new groups and add them to your Favourites.
