Be A Legacy Networking Tip #9

Wear Your Business Proud!

Wear a name badge where ever you go. At least your company logo. Get your logo and name embroidered on your shirts and jackets. Let people see who you represent. It helps you get noticed and creates credibility, professionalism and branding for you and your business.

When you go to meetings, mixers, social activities, events and shopping wear your business proud. I have picked up many clients while shopping because people have a sense of curiosity. I truly believe people want to connect, yet they do not feel they have anything in common to speak about. By providing something for them to speak about you open the door for them to connect with you. Allowing a possible start to building a relationship.

Get your car a name badge too. You are driving around anyway, so let people know who you are and what you have to offer. (Make sure you act appropriate driving and be professional.) Having business magnets or signage on your vehicle creates visibility and exposure for your company which create you as a successful leader.

If you set up a table or booth at a networking event then get a table cloth with your company name, logo and web address on it. Allow your table to sell you too.

I am not saying you have to go out and get all of these at once. Get your name badge and then work to save to get to the next level. All of these items can be inexpensive if you look for the bargains and sales. It will create greater visibility for you which will bring you a return on investment quickly.

Get a great name badge and wear your business proud.
