Bridging The Gap
Written by: Jacque Zoccoli
Yet one more virtual event comes my way. As I attempt to be understood and to attract the right alliances, I ask my self “How can I bridge that gap?” I find a HUGE divide between appearance and engagement. Is there a wall somewhere I cannot see?
I think I am not alone. The people who do zoom with me seem even more detached from the engagement effort. I am the LinkedIn Strategist, how am I to explain and show them? Thus my plight.
Let’s start here!
Commonalities begin the attraction. The more the better. Yet just knowing them means nothing unless you both communicate them to cement the foundation.
The next part is seeing how those somewhat weak bonds can be made strong enough to figure out what to do together. I find most of us pale here. Questions arise: Do we compete? Will you take my clients? Will I have the time to work with you to make the relationship valuable? What can we do for a monetary gain? Let’s figure this out.
When your self-esteem is intact you realize you are unique and no matter what will add to someone else’s services. It’s just figuring out how. Together you can create more clients because of the broad offering.
It does take a commitment once you figure out what to do together. How about:
• A webinar for your combined databases – be sure you BOTH contribute.
• On each other’s websites as resources.
• Include as the next step in your services.
• Create a running webinar or workshop series and have the other as a guest speaker.
These are a start. So refresh: Commonality, Communicate, Commit. . .then Contribute, and if done without judgment, open minded, maintaining your expertise – Collaboration. All 5 Cs = GLOW, Guided Love of Wholeness!
Let’s you and I Bridge the Gap. . . together. LinkedIn has your alliances, all 9 Billion of them. I know how to engage those you want. Why wouldn’t you want to work with someone who shows you how?
