Don’t be shy: Meet new people – and convert them into clients

You can always return to previous contacts. At one point they were potential clients but things didn’t work out. Now, however, their situation may have changed and perhaps they will be able or willing to use your services. There are, however, more ways to meet people who may become your clients.

Events with food and people

Dinner parties are an ideal opportunity for networking. Friends of friends could be potential clients. Who knows what services they need? Your friends themselves might not necessarily need anything from you but perhaps their friends do.

Children and their activities

People make friends via their children. Football matches and training sessions, swimming or basketball tournaments … you name it. That is where you can meet other parents and get to know them. So follow the advice of the business2community.com website and take advantage of your chance.

Online activities

Clients can be found through blogging, social media or discussion forums.

Various clubs and associations

Here you will definitely meet new people to whom you can offer your services. Alumni associations, sports clubs – the choice is yours.

Volunteer opportunities

Opportunities for various forms of voluntary work are all around you and can help in finding new clients. These activities are also good for the public relations of your company. You and your staff can talk about what you do while you are building a house or cleaning a park.

Your own networking event

Anyone can go to an event that is being hosted by somebody else. As the host of a networking event, it is your job to interact with everyone who shows up: that, in fact, is the whole idea of networking. So remember that by hosting an event, you have a legitimate reason to interact with the attendees.
