1. Create a compelling approach and contact. Ditch the generic script.
Imagine this: you attend a networking event. You strike up a conversation with someone cool. You exchange business cards. Weeks later, you receive an email from them. It’s generic. It doesn’t mention any details. It doesn’t mention your conversation. Not exactly a recipe for a lasting impression, right? The same idea applies to your outreach.
Â
Don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all script. Take the time to personalize your approach. Here’s the secret sauce: genuine interest. Before you contact them, take a few minutes to understand your client. Learn their needs and challenges. Visit their website. Look at their social media profiles. Get a sense of their business goals.
Â
Here’s a revamped message template you can adapt:
Â
“Hey [Name], It was a pleasure connecting with you at [Event name] earlier today. I was interested in your discussion. You talked about [mention specific challenge]. At Square 1 Group, we specialize in [your area of expertise]. I believe we can help you achieve [solution] with [unique aspect]. Would you be interested in a quick 10-minute chat to explore this further?”
Â
This approach shows real interest, positions you as valuable, and increases the chances of a positive response. Visit our website for our personalized outreach strategies. You can also find templates to use for your business.
2. Presentations that Pack a Punch (and Don't Drag On!): Keep it Short, Sweet, and Engaging
Let’s be honest: Attention spans are shorter than ever. People are busy. Long presentations can feel like an eternity. Stop the endless droning. Focus on making short, impactful presentations. They should resonate with your audience.
Â
Here are some ways to make your presentation better. They’ll keep your audience hooked.
Â
Keep it short and sweet: Nobody wants to sit through a lecture. Aim for 30 seconds to a minute to introduce yourself and your business. Focus on the value proposition. What problem do you solve for your clients? How does it benefit them?
Â
Engage your audience. Presentations shouldn’t be one-way. Use live polls. Ask questions. Use visuals. Keep your audience involved. Think of it as a conversation, not a monologue.
Â
Highlight benefits. Don’t just list features. Explain how those features benefit your clients. For example, say, “We offer 24/7 customer support.” This way, you can focus on running your business with peace of mind. You can do so knowing we’re always here to help.
Â
Your goal is to spark interest, leave a lasting impression, and position yourself as the go-to solution for their needs.
3. Ask the Right Questions. They have power. They make you a Master of Active Listening.
Imagine you’re a potential client. You’re sitting across from a salesperson. They talk for 20 minutes. They do not acknowledge you. It’s not exactly a recipe for trust, is it?
Effective communication is a two-way street. Instead of talking the most, ask questions. These questions get to the heart of your client’s needs and challenges. Here are some examples to get you started:
“What are your biggest pain points right now regarding [your area of expertise]?”
“What are your current business goals? How do you see them changing in the next [timeframe]?”
“Have you tried any solutions in the past to address this challenge? What were the results?”
You show genuine interest by listening and asking good questions. This allows you to tailor your approach and position yourself as a trusted advisor.

4. Follow up. Discipline and details matter. Show you care. Remember the conversation.
Follow-up is crucial, but many salespeople overlook it. Failing after an early talk looks terrible and shows unprofessionalism. Here’s the key to a successful follow-up: be quick. Mention details from your last talk. This shows you were paying attention and reinforces your value proposition.
Here’s an example of a follow-up email that ticks all the boxes:
Subject: Following Up on our conversation about [specific topic].
Dear [Name],
It was a pleasure speaking with you earlier today. We discussed [mention a specific point]. As promised, I’m sending you the link. It’s to our case study on [relevant case study topic] that we discussed. It shows how we helped a company like yours achieve [specific results].

5. Don't Be a Nick Young: Turning Rejections into Referrals
Have you ever seen a basketball player sink a three-pointer? They turn and walk away in celebration, only to miss the shot. That’s a recipe for embarrassment. The same applies to salespeople. They close a deal and forget about the goldmine of referrals in front of them.
Here’s the thing: referrals are the holy grail of sales. They are a trust machine. They quickly verify your services. They do this for potential clients. These clients value the opinions of their peers. But you can only expect referrals to appear in your inbox. You need a plan.
Here are some tips to turn rejections into a referral springboard:
Create a Compelling Referral Program. Go beyond just saying “thanks” for a referral. Design a program that rewards your current clients. It should motivate them to become brand advocates. Offer discounts on future services. Also, offer bonus consultations or make charitable donations in their name. They get this for each successful referral.
Make referrals easy. Don’t make your clients jump through hoops to refer. Make a seamless process. Put clear instructions on your website. Also, make the referral forms downloadable. Also, give them social media templates to share.
Overdeliver and make a Raving Fan Factory. The best referrals come from clients. They are so impressed with your work that they can’t wait to sing your praises. Exceed expectations at every turn. Go beyond to solve their problems. Expect their needs and offer valuable resources. These should go beyond your services. You turn clients into raving fans. Then, referrals come naturally.
Remember, referrals are about building relationships, not just quick transactions. By exceeding expectations and adding significant value, you’ll build a loyal client base. These clients are not just happy customers but also enthusiastic brand ambassadors.
