Do people always consider you the ‘Quiet One’? Does the idea of speaking to new people or walking into a room where you don’t know anyone, cause your blood to run cold? You are not alone. Today’s amazing guest, has been in your shoes and is here to tell us how to go from Scared to Successful. Just because you are a quiet one, doesn’t mean that you can’t make a big impact on the world.  
 
When Lori Saitz was a child, her report cards always said that she needed to learn to speak up in class. Upon starting a business, she had to force herself to go to networking events and endure many awkward conversations in hopes of meeting clients. After spending thousands of dollars and stomach churning hours, she figured out how to comfortably manage networking situations.
 
Today she is known as The Quiet Girl’s Guide and she not only feels comfortable meeting new people, she actually enjoys it. As a networking strategy coach and speaker, she helps other “quiet girls (and guys)” get past the fear of networking so they can find success.  

Episode Highlights: 
  • This can be a struggle for both genders, so Lori works with both men and women. 
  • Take the spotlight off of you and put it on your business, or ask questions of the other person.
  • Networking is about starting a 'memorable' conversation, it is NOT about sales. 
  • It is about building the foundation of a relationship. 
  • It is about using your 'quietness' as an advantage. 
  • Strategically plan who you want to meet and go to the events and functions that they are at. 
  • BIG TIP! The name tag at networking events goes on the RIGHT side. It helps with remembering the other person's name. 
  • Always have a pen with you to write notes about the person on the back of their business card. 
  • Plus some more great tips! 
  • Even if your business is completely online, as humans, we still need the connectedness of meeting people in person, if even just as a support system. 
  • You don't have to change who you are to be better at Networking.
  • Managing your energy is SO important for the 'Quiet' entrepreneurs.
