Huddle up, Buttercup! It’s Time to Make Some Money!
A Huddle is for a Specific Kind of Professional
Every business professional knows the importance of networking. But joining a networking group like We&Co isn’t for everyone. It’s for professionals who are hungry, humble, and emotionally intelligent. These individuals are eager to
- increase their book of business,
- generate more revenue, and
- collaborate with others in the referral market.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the characteristics that set these professionals apart and why joining a We&Co Huddle can be a game-changer for your business.
The Hungry Professional
A hungry professional is driven, ambitious, and always on the lookout for opportunities to grow. They understand that joining a networking group or a Huddle can help them expand their business network and increase sales. Here are three examples of professionals who are not hungry for business:
- The Complacent Professional: They are content with their current status and don’t actively seek out new opportunities for growth.
- The Short-term Thinker: They focus on immediate gains rather than investing in long-term relationships and opportunities.
- The Lone Wolf: They believe they can achieve success on their own and don’t see the value in collaborating with others.
The Humble Professional
A humble professional is open to learning from others and recognizes the value of collaboration. They understand that joining a networking group like We&Co can provide valuable connections and resources to help them grow their book of business. Here are three examples of professionals who are not humble:
- The Know-it-all: They believe they have all the answers and are not open to learning from others.
- The Braggart: They constantly talk about their accomplishments and rarely acknowledge the contributions of others.
- The Egomaniac: They believe their success is solely due to their efforts and don’t see the value of working with others.
The Emotionally Intelligent Professional
An emotionally intelligent professional understands the importance of empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication. They recognize that joining a Huddle can help them build strong relationships and generate more revenue. Here are three examples of professionals who are not emotionally intelligent:
- The Insensitive Professional: They lack empathy and fail to consider the feelings and perspectives of others.
- The Self-Centered Professional: They focus on their own needs and goals, making it difficult to collaborate with others.
- The Poor Communicator: They struggle to convey their ideas and intentions, leading to misunderstandings and missed opportunities.
The Power of a Huddle: A Collaborative Approach to Networking
We&Co is a networking group designed to help members grow their books of business through collaboration and referral marketing. Huddles are small groups of professionals who all have the same target audience but offer different products and services with little-to-no product or service overlap.
What makes a Huddle different from a traditional networking group is
- that they meet twice a month for exactly an hour,
- they get the majority of their “networking homework” complete during the meetings, and
- each meeting is hyper-focused and efficient on helping members earn more money.
Each Huddle focuses on three key objectives:
- Get in front of the Huddle’s target audience
- Bring the target audience in front of the Huddle
- Get in front of each other’s networks and existing clientele
By achieving these objectives, Huddle members can increase sales and generate more revenue for their businesses.
The Profitability of Joining We&Co
Joining a Huddle can be a highly profitable decision for your business. According to a source, 74% of consumers identify word-of-mouth referrals as a key influencer in their purchasing decisions. By participating in a Huddle, you can tap into the power of referral marketing and increase your chances of generating more revenue.
Additionally, a study found that 85% of business professionals consider face-to-face meetings more effective than virtual meetings. By joining We&Co, you have the opportunity to engage in face-to-face interactions with like-minded professionals, increasing the chances of establishing strong, lasting connections. Not to mention all the public events they throw on a monthly basis (open to both members and nonmembers alike).
Here are some more networking statistics that highlight the benefits of networking:
- Networking is responsible for 78% of new business startups.
- Over 70% of people found their current job through networking.
- 91% of people believe that networking helps them build long-lasting business relationships.
