Are you fishing where the fish are? That’s the best way to stay in business, but many business owners are fishing (looking for their target market) in all the wrong places. Worse yet is the business owner whose target market is “everybody who will pay me”. When you target everyone, it’s just too hard to focus on anyone, and consequently you attract no one. The reality is that not everyone needs your product or service, nor is it a good match for every single person on this earth.

One of the most terrifying decisions you will make as a business owner is the decision to choose a target market. Why? Because you’re scared of excluding people and missing out on opportunities. However, the more focused you are in your marketing efforts and the better you understand and can define your target market, the easier your marketing becomes. Really!  In order to be successful, your goal must be to exclude as many people from your business as possible. When you are successful at this, the “right” people (your target market) will recognize themselves instantly and be much more willing and open to begin to like, know and trust you, and ultimately turn into a paying customer.

In this teleclass, you will learn:

–The reason that a narrowly focused target market will bring you MORE of what you want
–The best method for uncovering your target market when you don’t have a clue
–10 essential questions to ask your target market
–3 “make it or break” considerations for you to pick a target market
– How to create a target market profile that you’ll use every day in everything that you do
– 8 essential online resources to help you “reach out and touch” your target market
– Next steps to take

Virtual Assistants have several ways of reaching out to their potential clients. As much as you may like to sit at your computer, some of your best clients might be just around the corner. Connecting with people (both in person and virtually) is an absolute must if you want your business to be successful.

In this session Raeus will answer the top 3 questions she is asked

1. What is the #1 networking no-no?
2. how to break into and out-of a conversation
3. What is the secret to make your networking – work (and have fun doing it)

Learn:
• where to network to find more business (both in-person and virtually)
• how to introduce yourself effectively
• what to bring with you to networking events (and what not to)
• how to overcome the shy/introvert head stuff and actually go to events

We will have adequate time for your questions too.

Our speaker, Raeus Jae Cannon, works with professionals that want to meet more prospects, quit making cold calls and make more money! She is the CEO and founder of REO, LLC (a business referral introduction network).

Raeus focuses on the value of relationships, social capital and collaboration. She is a graduate of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and has authored the ABC’s of Networking, a reference guide for professionals that want to improve their effectiveness at networking events.

Raeus believes “When You Network Well, You Never Need To Sell” and she has not made a cold call since 1998!
