#9/18/24 - Jason Croft - Visibility for Coaches is up! Need access? DM me! His tips for visibility were worth sharing again! @Jason Croft drops wisdom!! Visible Leadership The confidence to be seen and the strategies to make it happen. It's not about "look at me". It's about "this is important" and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make sure as many people as possible can see it. One of the major problems that becoming a Visible Leader solves is the problem of being seen in the marketplace as "like everyone else". A major problem for coaches and consultants is to be in this "sea of sameness". An answer to why that matters and why they should solve that problem is so that at a minimum they run their coaching practice like a business, and ideally turn their coaching practice into a business. As a coach, your visibility is crucial for attracting clients and growing your business.

The Follow-Up: How to Turn Connections into Meaningful Business Relationships We’ve all been there—you attend a networking event, connect with some great people, and then…nothing. Why? Because networking without follow-up is just socializing. If you want to build a network that matters, you have to make follow-up a priority. Here’s how to do it effectively: 1. Follow Up Quickly Timing matters. Aim to follow up within 48 hours of meeting someone. Send a personalized message that references something specific from your conversation. This helps build a stronger connection and shows that you’re engaged and serious. 2. Provide Value Right Away In your follow-up message, offer value—this could be a resource, an introduction, or even a solution to a challenge they mentioned. The key is to position yourself as a trusted resource, not just another contact in their inbox. 3. Set the Next Step Don’t let the conversation end after the first follow-up. Suggest a clear next step, whether it’s a virtual coffee, a brainstorming session, or collaborating on a project. Keep the momentum going and move the relationship forward. 4. Stay Top of Mind You don’t need to follow up constantly, but you do need to stay in touch. Set reminders to check in every few weeks or months, depending on the relationship. The more consistently you show up, the more likely you’ll be remembered when opportunities arise. 5. Make it Personal Remember, networking is about relationships, not transactions. Keep your follow-ups personal and authentic. Show genuine interest in the person, not just what they can offer you. Building a strong network takes time, but when you master the art of follow-up, you turn initial connections into meaningful, long-lasting relationships.
