Nothing is more important in marketing than "filling the pipeline" with good qualified prospects.

But most Independent Professionals are terrible at doing this. In this TeleClass you'll learn how.

A few years ago I met Andrea Nierenberg through an article she wrote about networking in in a consulting publication. I was published in the same issue, and after reading her article I knew we had things to talk about. I called Andrea and we discussed ideas about networking and relationship marketing. I then interviewed Andrea for an article about the power of thank-you notes.

Andrea is officially know at the "Queen of Networking" and is an extraordinarily successful marketer of her services. Andrea has written two books, the most recent being "Million Dollar Networking" and when she sent me a copy I knew I had to interview her for the "TeleClass Expert Series."

What we're going to explore in depth is how to fill the marketing pipeline with a never-ending steam of qualified prospects, through what is best called "Relationship Marketing."

If you're wondering where the next prospect is coming from, these may sound familiar to you...

• You don't know where to prospect for qualified leads

• You're unformfortable with networking activities

• You don't know how to make connections that stick

• You're not good at keeping in touch with prospective clients

• You're not generating enough referrals from your network

• You meet prospects but can't get appointments with them

If you're struggling with these relationship marketing issues..

What if you could master an approach to effectively building ongoing business relationships that continually filled your marketing and sales pipeline? At last you'd have some momentum in your marketing. You wouldn't have to worry about reaching out to cold prospects and facing rejection.

Andrea's approach and philosophy to relationship marketing is much the same as mine, but she's so much better at it! Andrea has a knack for connection with people and staying connected. With over 6,000 people in her database (people she's actually met), Andrea knows how to stay in touch and leverage her network so that it leads to business.

Andrea is president of the Nierenberg Group, Inc. which provides training in sales, customers service, presentation skills, networking, business development, management skills, and motivator to leading businesses worldwide. She's a bona fide InfoGuru with the expertise to help Independent Professionals be better marketers of their services.

I called Andrea for this month's TeleClass Expert Series because I feel her area of expertise is what Independent Professionals need more than anything else.

Why do you have such difficulty initiating and maintaining business relationships? A few reasons...

Fear of Rejection: This may be the number one thing that holds Independent Professionals back from making contact with people who could help them in their business. Instead of connecting, we keep to ourselves; instead of calling, we wait to be called; instead of inviting, we wait to be invited; instead of asking, we wait for others to ask.

You don't have a Strategy: Like everything else, there are workable approaches and strategies to building successful business relationships, getting referrals, being introduced to potential clients, keeping your network active and productive, and making appointments with prospects. The good news is you can learn these strategies.

A Complete Program on Relationship Marketing

I've invited Andrea Nierenberg to share the secrets of relationship marketing. And because I'm such a fanatic about this approach to doing business, I suggested to Andrea that we outline a complete system for building an Independent Professional business through cultivating relationships that can lead to new business with your ideal clients.

What we'll do is give you a step-by-step plan that covers the five steps of Relationship Marketing: Affiliation - How to find and connect with the people who can help you the most. Recognition - How to get known and develop trust with the connections you make. Information - How to educate and inform your network about what you do and the value you provide. Experience - How to give prospects a real sense of what you offer so that they feel more comfortable doing business with you. Appointments - How do you set up productive meetings with business contacts and prospects that actually go somewhere?

When Andrea and I get talking we can cover a huge amount of information in a short time. This program was recorded and you'll you'll get both the recording online and the full transcript.

In this TeleClass Audio Program you'll learn:

Affiliation

• How to find and connect with the people who can help you the most. Doing business with complete strangers can be hard - especially when starting out. Andrea and I will explore ways you can both increase and leverage your affiliations so that you're not seen as a stranger but as a valuable resource.

Familiarity

• How to get known and develop trust with the connections you make. It's not enough to just make new connections - people need to get to know you and you need to get to know them. We'll discuss the most effective strategies for getting known and building trust in your business network.

Information

• How to educate and inform your network about what you do and the value you provide. Once you've made contacts and developed some recognition, how do you make sure people really know what you can do? We'll get into many methods for powerfully communicating the true value of the service you offer.

Experience

• How to give prospects a real sense of what you offer so that they feel more comfortable doing business with you. The better someone knows you, feels good about you, and understands what you do, the greater the chance of them doing business with you. Andrea and I will also talk about how you can give associates an even deeper experience of you and your business.

Appointments

• How do you set up productive meetings with business contacts and prospects that actually go somewhere? Whether it's a meeting with a referral source or a prospective client, what's the best way to set up meetings that actually increase the chances that you'll ultimately get the business? We'll explain what to do, what to say and what to avoid.

The art of relationship marketing is the number one strategy for attracting new clients. Nothing else comes close. But it's so much more than going to networking events and handing out business cards. That barely scratches the surface. In this program you'll learn the most important principles and practices of growing a network of business relationships that will bring you business for years to come.
