Maggie Perotin

You don’t have to be a natural extrovert to build a powerful network and grow your service business. Start with what feels authentic, expand your comfort zone one step at a time, and remember: every entrepreneur can learn to get visible and connect—your way. In this episode Maggie shares her own and client stories of overcoming shyness, fear of public speaking or social media to build visibility for their businesses and book clients their way. 

Episode Highlights:

  • Why visibility and networking are essential for business growth—especially if you’re introverted or shy
  • Maggie’s personal story: losing her network after divorce, starting from scratch as an immigrant, and overcoming the discomfort of networking
  • The two main types of networking groups—and how to find the ones that fit your strengths
  • Real-life examples of introverted business owners who built thriving networks and referral partnerships
  • Mindset shifts that make “putting yourself out there” feel less scary (and more doable)
  • How to layer new visibility strategies on top of your natural strengths for sustainable growth
  • The science behind why video and personal branding matter for memorability and trust
  • Actionable tips for building confidence, making connections, and becoming more visible—even if it feels impossible right now
