Connectors for the world

The worldwide population on this earth is a huge human network. Not all 7 billion people know each other but the more number of people you know the better it is because man is a social animal. I also believe in the principle of having just those few individuals who can be completely trusted in one's life and no one else. But to find those few trustable individuals we have to scan through many hollow strangers. Hence having a big network shall always help.
 
The reason I am talking, sorry writing about human network here is because today anything that has to happen cannot be done by a single person. It needs a collaborative effort of many people who also share similar interests and goals. So how do we get in touch with all those people who share similar interests as that of ours? The answer for this question is 'connectors'. Connectors are those people who maintain a huge diverse network of people with them. They do not pay to have this network nor they work only to get their network. These connectors increase their circle of known friends wherever they go or wherever they are irrespective of the background of the person. They enjoy making new friends, interacting with people and learn more about others and diverse mindsets.
 
The best service done by these connectors is that they can connect any person in their network with someone else who is in need of the service shared by the other. There might be absolutely zero benefit for the connector himself/herself. Still s/he make the problem-holders meet the solution-providers for the betterment of one's life. The advantage of connector's interference is that the trust gets leveraged through the connector which is not the case when a stranger meets another prospect for a solution. Thus connectors help the world to get interlinked and help more and more people get more and more friends. If you want to know as to how to become a connector, you can message me on

Prospecting can lead to business

Prospecting happens when you encounter a prospect and build a relation of knowing each other. Prospect means a stranger basically. Prospecting is a method of building new contacts. Business doesn't have any rules.  It doesn't restrict you to a certain set of people only. It's all about how many contacts you make and how well you make use of them. You can build business with any person you see on the street if you are able to model out something that can fulfill either your or his/her needs. So let me connect prospect and business now.

The basic underline rule before I move forward is that anything that can satisfy or fulfill one's needs or desires can give rise to a business. Every person on this planet has certain set of needs and desires which s/he wants to satisfy/fulfill if someone can offer a fair deal withing the person's budget. If you have a valid product then you have a customer for sure. You just have to find the right customer base and prospecting is the alternative of referral marketing. I will touch referral marketing topic in another blog. Let's see prospecting for now. Everyone on this earth can be your friend. So how did you make new friends when you were a kid. You probably went out of your home or to school and found another kid and started talking. The common with both of you was the environment. So with any stranger, find out the common ground where you both stand. It might be just the traffic in front of both of you. It might be the cold weather or the same showroom you visit or just the same bus in which you're travelling.

Once the common ground is identified just put across your view about it which should ask for a reply or a nod from the other person. The moment the other person replies, the conversation begins based on which you just build a simple 3-4 minute conversation. Introduce yourself and exchange cards. Your one more friend for life and one more customer for business is ready right in front of you. This easy is prospecting. Do pour in your questions on prospecting on is.mohanbn@gmail.com
