An under-rated way to get leads


Hi Reader,

We just hosted our second annual International Women’s Day Soirée, and let me tell ya, it was a good one.

But let’s talk about the lightbulb moment I had when I looked through all the registrations.

Practically every person who registered had championed me, worked with me, or attended one of our other events—or vice versa. In some way, shape, or form, we go back.

This is a common theme with Drio’s clients too. We can trace nearly every lead back to someone who referred us because we’ve established and maintained a relationship with them.

That’s why I believe in honoring your ecosystem.

Focus on going deeper, not going viral.

Because a partner who roots for you is so much better than a follower who barely knows your name.

🧠 Drio tip: Next time you’re looking for more projects or even audience members, consider how you can support your network first.

  • What kind of introduction can you make?
  • Who can you pass an opportunity along to?
  • Can you send someone a friendly note or invite them to coffee?

Twice a year, look at where your leads have come from.

Once you see who sparked those connections, you’re encouraged to keep nurturing that relationship.

  • Make sure they’re updated on what your business is doing now and what services you’re promoting.
  • While you’re at it, why not ask how you can help them?

What goes around comes around.

On that note, hit reply and let me know how I can help you.

Hi Reader, Have you ever tried stuffing a pillow into a box? It will fit and it’s still technically a pillow. But there’s no room for air. That’s how I was feeling just before Rachel and I left for WordCamp in Italy last month. The lead-up to the trip was particularly busy as we prepared to be out of the office for two weeks, closed out tasks, and made sure the team was set. When we landed in Italy, I felt a rush of air. It was like taking the pillow out of a box—I unraveled and resettled...
