BUILD FROM THE BOTTOM
Houses are built from the bottom up; business is no different. The first step in building a house is setting the foundation. Without a solid foundation, the house will be unstable, the same goes for your business!
It can be difficult to know where to start when building a strong foundation for your business. You want to be successful, but you need to lay the groundwork for that success. To do that, you need to build strong relationships with your clients, contractors, and others who may play a part in your business’s success.
Business is built on relationships and relationships are built on communication.
To help you get started on building your strong communication foundation, here are 4 tips to help you!
- Communicate clearly. Develop clarity in your messaging. Be clear and direct in your interactions with others. Keep it simple, especially in the early days of building relationships. Clear communication will help you develop strong bonds with those whom you wish to do business or those who fit your target audience.
2. Communicate frequently. Communicating with your peers, audience, and mentors often will help you build a solid communication foundation. Be consistent in how often you communicate and in the style in which you communicate. Consistency will build your reputation and help to solidify your relationships, making your name and/or brand recognizable.
3. Be relatable. Don’t be afraid to share your “human” side in your business. Use stories and experiences from your life to help you build relationships. You can use personal experiences as the basis of social media content, website, or blog content, or even just as a fun way for your audience to get to know you. If you are relatable, it is much easier to attract the relationships you need for business success!
4. Give value in your free material. Don’t be afraid to share your knowledge for free. When you share valuable information with your audience without the expectation of a sale, you build rapport with them and show them that you are knowledgeable. You also show them that you care about them enough to share information that can help them.
Communication is THE FOUNDATION of any business! Build a strong communication system that will nurture your relationships and your business has no option other than success!
