Building Genuine Connections in Business with Kristina Bartold
Welcome to a joint episode of Small Business School with Staci Millard, and Community with Kristina Bartold, in this episode together they are diving into one of their favourite topics, building meaningful connections in business. From client referrals to new friendships, they get into how nurturing genuine relationships can have a huge impact on personal growth and business success!
Topics Covered:
- The value of connecting and referring peers and clients in business.
- Prioritizing nurturing authentic relationships over superficial connections.
Why focusing on peers can drive growth faster than aiming only for big names. - Approaching connection calls with a “give first” mentality instead of focusing on sales.
- Knowing when to say “no” to calls or meetings to protect your time and energy.
- Balancing the drive to grow your network with the need to nurture existing connections.
- Hosting group networking calls to stay connected with more people at once.
- How generous networking can lead your contacts to advocate and network for you.
Real growth comes from the relationships you invest in with those growing alongside you, not just those a few steps ahead of you where you are wanting to be. By being authentic and graciously serving those around you, you will grow a deep and valuable network for your business!
