Discover, Establish, and Develop Your Target Market
In the competitive ring of business, knowing your target market is your first-round victory! Whether you’re a financial advisor, broker, or sales producer, narrowing your focus and defining your ideal market is crucial to successful networking. The more general your target market is, the harder it is to define—and the tougher it becomes to network effectively.
In this training session, we’ll teach you how to discover, establish, and develop your target market so you can land more meaningful connections. You’ll learn how to:
- Define your target market using key factors like industry, profession, niche, demographics, and geography to sharpen your focus.
- Establish a strategic approach that aligns with your business goals, making your networking efforts more effective and efficient.
- Develop your target market to know exactly where to go, what to say, and who to meet.
When you have a clear understanding of who you want to reach, you’ll be able to move like a pro in the networking ring, making targeted connections that lead to more prospects, more referrals, and more business.
