Our discussion this time is for all entrepreneurs hoping to grow their network. Specifically, we're talking about relationship marketing, and the importance of connecting with others in a genuine way. Building new relationships can be difficult as a nomad. That's why we're speaking with Sue Brooke with Alignable. Jim explains how he has made some good connections on the platform - without all the distraction, negativity, and irrelevant content often found on Facebook. And, Sue helps us understand how Alignable differs from LinkedIn to connect you with the people who matter most to you. Spoiler alert: It's all about relationship building.
Enjoy this deep dive into relationship marketing, network building, redefining success and working with a mission. Sue provides tips for developing our networking skills, when so many of us tend to work in a bubble. She also offers helpful suggestions for breaking the ice with new contacts, and defines relationship marketing with some impressive examples.
GUEST BIO: Sue Brooke, Professional Speaker, Author, and Business & Marketing Strategist, possesses nearly four decades of entrepreneurial expertise. At the core of her business success lies the fundamental belief in fostering authentic relationships. Currently, Sue contributes her knowledge and leadership to Alignable.com's Advocacy team, where she spearheads educational programs for fellow business owners. Throughout her Alignable on the Road tour, Sue travels the country in her motorhome to actively support and engage with small business owners.
