Even when you've got the right tools and ways to meet, communicating with others from home is still different from working in an office. I hope these five tips improve how you communicate with others from home.
______________________________
1. Make appointments
You set aside time to meet with someone in person, so why not make appointments for important telephone calls? By booking a specific time, you can be assured that your potential prospect will be prepared and more focused on the conversation. Like you, they may have done some prep work/research beforehand to make the call more productive.
______________________________
2. Stay focused on your phone conferences
It's easy to stray when meetings get long, but keep multitasking to a minimum during phone conferences. The other party can almost certainly hear that keyboard clicking while you respond to an e-mail. People want to feel valued, have you ever had a deep face to face conversation and someone is checking their cell phone, how did that make you feel?
______________________________
3. Attend weekly “meet up’s”
Try to attend at least one weekly meeting to keep in touch with others, this will keep you fresh and up to date on new practices and hey maybe even a little bit motivated to reach the next level! Have you noticed how many “social media meet up’s” there are in your community? People still like to meet “live”!
______________________________
4. Make sure you check your online sites
If you're never there, it's likely that people may think you're not actively building your business—even if you're working multiple hours a week. Responding to e-mail messages and social media posts will help remind people that you're still there and being productive.
______________________________
5. Be assertive
Don't always wait for people to contact you.
This is the number 1 success key:
Pick up the phone and contact people if they have visited your site - call them, if they made a comment on your site – call them, if you read something interesting that can lead you to a conversation and it could lead to a relationship personal/business – call them.
You need to be the one in control, Be Assertive!
