Learn how to better manage meeting requests and simplify the scheduling process using these quick & easy tips.
For many entrepreneurs, networking is a valuable activity that leads to new prospects, new clients and new strategic partners.
But it can also lead to A LOT of wasted time.
I know when I was spending a lot of time at networking events, I would get bombarded with requests to "grab a coffee" or "meet for lunch" with people that I had exchanged business cards with.
Over a 2 or 3 year stretch, I willingly went to hundreds of these one-on-one meetings in order to build relationships with my fellow entrepreneurs.
During that time, I learned two important things:
- Not all meetings are valuable. In fact, most of them do nothing more than distract you from your actual goals.
- Scheduling meetings with other people often requires a minimum of 5 back and forth emails... which is a complete waste of time.
In this video, I discuss how to eliminate those unproductive meetings and how to easily schedule the productive ones.
