subject: Grow Your Business With A High School Class Reunion [print this page] Most business owners probably havent thought about it before but a high school class reunion is a great opportunity to build up your business. If you have a smaller business that isnt that well known, or even an established business with a presence you can build beneficial relationships while at your reunion.
While you are going around meeting all the people that you once knew you are going to be talking to all of them about things in your life. While you are talking to them you can bring up your company, get them interested in it and you will be able to grow from there.
It is very important that you dont actively pitch your business to other people who are at the event unless they ask you to do so. Instead just mention it in passing and make sure to ask questions about what they do for a living.
As you speak to other people you may realize that there are business owners there who would be beneficial to work with and they may be able to benefit what you have to offer to. Make sure that you keep their contact information so you can make a deal later on.
Keep your ears open for mention of any other business that is related to yours, or that can really benefit from what you have to offer. If you think someone can help grow your company, or you can help improve theirs with what you offer dont be afraid to say so you will end up making more relationships that way.
You would be surprised at how many people you probably already know who are in a similar business to you, or who can benefit from the business that you are running. Always keep an open mind with each person that you meet, and be proud of the business that you are running.
When you talk about your services make sure you sound enthusiastic about them. If you love what your company does it is going to be easier for other people to love it as well and that is how you build new followers to any company.
Any high school class reunion will provide at least a few opportunities to improve your business in some way. When you are done talking to everyone you may have even done great things for your business that will make you a whole lot more money than you thought.
