It's very simple if you are someone who is shy You don't like to network. You don't like to market yourself I'm gonna share really my story about how it was for me And then we're gonna focus in on some actionable steps that you can take This way you can start to become a better marketer and you can network more with Parents and those who have influence over kids in your community, and I know back in 2002. Let's see here 2009 That was a year. I just graduated college. I did not feel confident and comfortable Speaking to parents Marketing my program Networking with others and I very quickly realized you know what if I don't overcome this obstacle Well, I'm not gonna be in business and I'm not gonna be able to do the thing that I love doing which is coaching kids Very early on I realized that and I knew that in order for me to get good at that I had to get outside my comfort zone and know that alright parents have to know who I am They have to know like and trust me before they buy for me And the way that I do that is I have to get in front of them constantly over and over and over again But again for someone who is shy like me that was really difficult at the beginning stages And I'm gonna show you exactly how I did it and how you can do this very simple This way you have confidence doing it and you can get more eyeballs on your program step one is We need to think about the kids that you want to train Where are they coming from and I mean like what part of town are they in what organizations they play with? Who has influence over these kids? Obviously, it's their parents But if we think on a deeper level It's going to be whoever is the at the top of these organizations And I'm just gonna use the YMCA for example very easy Easy example the YMCA has a soccer league and the soccer league has is consisted of kids and parents I'm gonna go first to whoever's running that soccer league and say hey I'd like to run a free camp for the YMCA. I'd love to help out these kids Not gonna charge anything. I want to do this for free yada yada yada All right now I go to the person at the top that person at the top has influence over Everyone at the bottom, which is the parents and the kids and I know the person at the top is gonna have the emails phone numbers Everything that I possibly need from the YMCA person at the top has it and what I can do at that point is just focus on a one-on-one relationship between me and The guy or the girl at the top and at that point when I establish that bond when they understand how much I want to Help they're going to want to promote me without me having to do it because I focus on The person who has the greatest influence over the kids and the parents That's the only person I care about at that point when I go put on that free camp Well now I can meet all of these parents who want to meet me rather than me going out to try to meet them and feel uncomfortable I know that's very difficult to do still for me at this present moment. That's still hard to do so again I'm gonna go to the very top and look to network and give that Organization something and in return they are feeding me clients at that point if I do that over and over and over again With every single type of organization that has kids that I can potentially train Then there's never going to be a shortage of clients no matter how shy I am And that is something I know you can do and this would be a great goal to set in 2019 I feel like it's very easy But just go on Google and type in youth sports organizations your city and Go through every single one of those most cities have multiple sports organizations or club teams or rec teams Whatever it is you want to specialize them At that point you go set up a Google doc and it's gonna you're just gonna find all the ones that you see online and One by one go put on your Google doc and look to connect with every single one of those presidents or directors of training of all those organizations and I know if you did that once a month Every single month you could have a free camp and ultimately by the end of the year You can get in front of hundreds of kids By just connecting with one person at a time because at that point They have all the influence over all the parents and kids that you would ever want to train Okay, again, just go to Google have that set up look to make the relationships and I know to me that's If we if we really broke this down talking to 12 People of influence is not difficult to do over the course of a year That just requires you picking up the phone calling them or going into their office Speaking them to directly about what it is that you can help them with and again This is not about asking them for clients This is about going and showing them and giving them a giving hand showing them exactly how you can help them Otherwise, they're never gonna want to do a free camp or clinic with you
