Now more than ever, our connections are so crucial to the growth of our business. We want to be deeply connected to the right people to have solid and sustainable businesses, no matter what the economy throws at us.

In this episode, I share the most overlooked and misunderstood approach for growing a lucrative network that brings you sales, connections and support and works EVEN for introverts or people who hate networking.

OK, so let’s get started…

Firstly, this episode is ALL ABOUT YOU and how you can avoid the five big connection-breaking mistakes business owners make!

So, If you know you have a great product, but you remain the “best-kept secret.”

Or, you have people say they love what you’re doing, but they don’t seem to buy

Maybe you need to get more leads or sales.

Or, you’re giving lots of value but don’t know how to ask for the sale

Or maybe you’re struggling to communicate the value of your products and services

You’re in the right place.

Getting more clients and feeling like you have a flow of business opportunities coming your way comes down to recognising these 5 Ways You’re Isolating Yourself From New Clients and Connections.

These mistakes prevent you from getting the desired results – more clients, growth, and profit.

Here’s a sneak peek at what we cover in this episode:

  • The effortless changes you can make to your approach to get more connected and comfortable with what feels natural to you.
  • How to create long-term mutually-beneficial relationships.
  • How to steer yourself away from transactional, superficial and often self-sabotaging actions.
  • The first thing to do if you want others to recognise you as having the solutions they need in their businesses and feel an authentic rapport with you.
  • Madonna’s advice about asking for what you want and why it’s a lesson we can all learn from.
  • The simple method that I’ve used to make thousands and thousands of dollars in business and have clients stay with me for years

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
