Jim Ries: Consistent and Curious Business Development

Description

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jim Ries discuss:

Gaining trust to earn business.
The power in curiosity.
Warm introductions, follow-up, and being interested rather than interesting.
Be consistent, be active, and be engaged.

Key Takeaways:

The key ingredient is trust in doing business with another person or organization.
Prospecting doesn’t have to be a huge time suck. Ask those who are already connected with those you want to connect to for a warm introduction.
Coach those who are introducing you so the table is set in a way that is a benefit to everyone involved.
Staying top of mind with those you are connecting with is key.

"I decided that I was going to double down on my marketing and look for opportunities to get in front of the people that I want to be in front of. And the only way to get in front of people that you want to be in front of, is to create your own event." — Jim Ries
