15 - How to Use Your Existing Network as a Marketing Machine
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You probably don’t need more leads—you just need to stop sleeping on the people you already know. In this episode, we’re talking about how to warm up cold contacts, follow up without feeling weird, and turn your existing network into actual business. Tiffany shares how a months-old introduction to a voiceover guy turned into a real opportunity after a simple check-in. And Donna tells the story of a friend who came out of the woodwork years later... needing a house and ready to buy. If you’ve ever thought, “I know people—but nothing’s happening,” this is your sign to reconnect with purpose.
What you'll learn:
- How to spot the missed opportunities already in your network
- What to say in a follow-up that doesn’t feel pushy
- A simple way to stay visible so people remember you when it counts
