Maximizing Business Outreach: Effective Strategies and Tips

In summary, when approaching strangers, it is helpful to smile and make eye contact to appear more approachable. It is also important to have a purpose for the conversation, whether it be to network or simply make a new acquaintance. Starting with a compliment or observation can help break the ice and show genuine interest. It's crucial to be respectful and considerate of the other person's time and boundaries, and to practice active listening to make the conversation more engaging.

Someone had a good thread going about 150 places to find new business.
Now that you have all of those places to go to, what are you going to say or do to advertise your business? Here's a couple of my ideas.
1. Keep fundraiser information in your vehicle to give to any organization in front of Walmart trying to raise money.
2. At a Veterinary office, ask if they know of any animal shelters needing a fundraiser. Have a few mini catalogues in your hand.
3. I leave my business cards where ever I can. I've had 2 shows from leaving them where contractors advertise at the hardware store. I've had a nice order over $100 from leaving my cards near the register at a restaurant.
4. I look for engagement rings anywhere that young ladies work. I compliment them on their ring and their engagement and ask if they need a registry.

Anybody else want to share some ideas?
 
I will be doing this againg tomorrow, when I go shopping at the mall- I always have a large PC bag in my car (the ones HO sends us to put customer's product in. As I shop int he amll, someone always stops me, and asks me where the Pampered Chef store is- Of course, I respond "RIGHT HERE!!!! as I whip out my info file.
 
I love the engagement ring idea!
 
I love the PC bag idea. I'd like to see them come out with a PC bag like all the grocery stores are using.
 
great ideas guys! keep em coming!

1. Smile and make eye contact: A friendly smile and direct eye contact can make you seem more approachable and open to conversation.

3. Start with a compliment or observation: Begin the conversation by giving a genuine compliment or making an observation about something you have in common, such as attending the same event or having a shared interest.

4. Be respectful and considerate: Remember to be respectful of the other person's time and boundaries. If they seem uninterested or in a rush, gracefully end the conversation and move on.
