Simone Douglas - "Seriously Social" Introduction A well known saying business is ‘ it’s not what you know, it’s who you know ‘. In today’s climate this is truer than ever before. People are better researched thanks to our ever evolving digital landscape and therefore one of the most integral elements of sales is trust. The quickest and most effective way to build trust is for your connections within your network to share with your prospective customers their experience in dealing with you and your business. Your reputation is what people will say about you, when you are not there. It stands to reason then that you build a network of connections that like and trust you and will proactively speak highly of you. The problem is that too many business owners think that they have that network when in fact they do not. There was a study by Harvard Business Review on the power of recommendations. The study found two very interesting things. Firstly, according to Harvard everyone knows 1,000 people. So, think about your connections and now think about who they’re connected to. Secondly, Harvard found that 90% of your customers would recommend you to their connections but only 10% of sales people ask the question. It is easy to get distracted by all the noise in the business world at large but jump day is your chance to settle in and work on your business and this season on your networks in ways that allow you to make the most of your opportunities today, tomorrow and forever.
