How to Create Masterful Connections That Generate High-Caliber, Profitable Referrals

October 15, 2019 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Joy Chudacoff on She's Got MoxieJoy Chudacoff on She's Got MoxieI was speaking with a new client recently and I inquired on how she found me. “I was given the name of three people and you were the only one that followed up.”

You may be so close to landing your next BIG juicy red-apple client and you don’t even realize it. You may be missing one essential (easy) step to help you stand out in your industry. Follow-up.

On today’s episode of my award-winning podcast, ‘She’s Got Moxie’, I’m sharing a replay of a teleclass I did earlier this year, “How to Create Masterful Connections That Generate High-Caliber, Profitable Referrals.”

Follow-up is something that anyone can do. It doesn't matter how much (or how little) education you have, it doesn't discriminate, and it levels the playing field.

Here’s another (deeper) reason I think people don’t follow-up: Fear of failure. “If I don’t follow-up, I’ll be spared the feeling of rejection.”

I’ve never achieved Big LEAPS in my business from social media or sitting at my desk staring into my laptop. The big income leaps (think 25% – 50%) have been directly related to networking and cultivating collaborative relationships.

This episode is chock full of great tips and tricks. I’ll share:

  • The difference between accepting any client that tends to fall into your lap or going after what I call those juicy red-apple clients (this makes an impact on the quality of your day and the ability to live in your genius)
  • Why social media is critical and also how it can cripple you
  • My step-by-step process that has generated over 1M in my businesses over the last near 3 decades.
  • How one lunch meeting has brought in 80K alone using these simple tools
  • And much, much more….

An opportunity of a lifetime. Nearly LOST.

May 16, 2019 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Recently, someone I care deeply about, nearly missed an opportunity that COULD affect their potential future. You know what the error was? Lack of follow-up. Follow-up is something that anyone can do. It doesn't matter how much (or how little) education you have, it doesn't discriminate, and it levels the playing field.

Here’s another (deeper) reason I think people don’t follow-up: Fear of failure, Fear of the word No. “If I don’t follow-up, I’ll be spared the feeling of rejection.”

You didn’t start your business solely to make a lot of money. I know this because 100% of the women I work with and host on my podcast comment that it’s never about the money—it’s about solving a problem or filling an unmet need. Your highest contribution, in part, is bringing your creative ideas to the world.

I have never achieved Big LEAPS in my business from social media or just sitting at my desk staring into my laptop. The big income leaps (think 25% – 50%) have been born out of networking and cultivating collaborative relationships with people who embrace your genius, your highest contribution.

She Says to Network – Now What?

March 13, 2015 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

03-13-15ArticleA few days ago, I was speaking with one of my valued clients about the many benefits of getting out of the office and creating connections and relationships through networking. At one point, there was a momentary silence on the other end of the line and then she asked me if I could give her more “structure” on the best way to network effectively. This question made me stop and think:  I tell my clients to do this ALL the time and yet, I rarely stop and explain WHAT to DO or HOW to do it:

Here are 6 “go to” tips and solutions that work for me every time and I think you will find them useful:

  1. Shhhh! – Let the other person talk first. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason! Listen for clues on HOW you can serve them or discover if your business might be a good fit for the other person. Maybe there’s a possible

3 R’s For Rapid Client Attraction

February 13, 2015 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

02-13-15If increasing your number of clients or customers is a pivotal goal for you this year, (I hope so!) I have good news for you. It’s within your reach if you follow the three R’s for rapid client attraction.

1. Relationships – Relationships are the new black in business now. “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” (Eleanor Roosevelt). There’s a real need, a craving, for deeper relationships in business today. People are desirous of more trust. Whether you’re networking, blogging or updating your Facebook status, seek first to create or deepen your relationships. People want to work with or refer to those where a deeper bond or connection is present. Take some time to consider where you have the “golden ticket” when it comes to creating relationships and make that a daily part of your marketing.
