Before you schedule a meeting with anyone, it is important to clarify your purpose.
Prioritize who you must meet first and how long it will take.
We will be sharing tried-and-true strategies to land meetings with important people in this post.
These are the best strategies:
1. Give them the incentive to believe it
Everybody, even the most influential and well-known, is very busy. Although some people wish that they could meet every contact, it is not possible. Therefore, you need to show them why you are worth their time.
“Make it crystal clear what the value proposition is of getting to know your.” “Alternatively, they will be too quick to dismiss and assume that you have nothing to offer.”
You must show why you are worthy of meeting with them, regardless of whether you provide “good news” or help improve their business.
2. Start small
It is important to present a meeting that easily fits into someone’s busy schedule.
Although it may seem small to ask for a lunch or an hour of someone’s time, these seemingly small chunks of time can quickly add up, especially for professionals who receive 20-50 similar requests each week.
Request a cup of coffee instead of lunch. Instead of asking for a face-to-face meeting, request a cup of coffee.
If they are interested in you and your proposal/proposal, they will be more open to donating more of their time.
3. Establish a relationship with someone
Once you have made contact with a high-ranking official, it is important to get down to their level. “The trick to getting through to them is to make them feel like a colleague, someone who ‘likes’ them, rather than a stranger intruding onto their time.” Look for mutual friends on Facebook and LinkedIn. Anything that can help you get started on your relationship.
People who know someone who can stand behind you are much more inclined to be open to meeting with you.
4. Make a list
It will take time to consider how to classify the most valuable people to call.
Do not be someone who catches everything and casts wide nets. You’ll lose the connection and joy that comes from picking a few targets.
When creating a list, start with just ten names. This allows you to spend more time tailoring your study to each person and setting up meetings.
Who will give you the most value when you meet them? You should make a list of names, and choose a group of people that are important to you and from whom you can learn something.
5. Also, you must set realistic expectations
Recognize that your goal is not going to be achieved overnight and that you will need to work hard to achieve it.
6. Do your homework
Learn as much about each person as possible by taking your list.
As long as they are reasonable, we don’t need any restraining orders! Just try to learn about the business of another person, their passions, and what you have in common.
This will help you establish a relationship.
You should also try to determine what your “targets” stand to gain by meeting you. How will you add value to their lives?
It is important to develop a value proposition. Think about how to introduce your concepts to your clients in a way that makes them valuable and relevant.
Stop now if you don’t know how to make yourself valuable. Your list won’t be interested in you if they don’t know how to make you interesting.
7. Unique and original gifts
Think about how many people you must contact daily. They value their time and don’t want to waste it on useless chats.
8. Try something new
By grabbing the attention of someone, you can get your foot in their door and start a conversation. You can’t overestimate how important it is to stand out and offer a different perspective.
You will find your list is looking for innovation and creativity. If you can show this through the way that you communicate your message, you have a good chance of keeping them interested. Set up a meeting.
A few years ago, I remember a great example: Matthew Epstein, a job seeker, created a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek YouTube online CV to request employment at Google. It was a huge success!
If they are presented originally, risks are worth taking.
9. You can do a variety of follow-ups
Think of your email list as a marketing campaign.
You should not give up too soon after first contact. You’ve lost too much time. This is a long game, as I’ve already said.
Find out where your professional network prefers to socialize. Which conferences, gatherings and get-togethers do they attend?
It should be as easy and painless as you can to have a cup of coffee with someone. They might be at an event you attend where they are likely to be.
Let them meet you in a way that is convenient for them and does not interrupt their personal or professional lives.
They might be at an event you are attending where they will be present. You can meet them in a way that is convenient for their personal or professional lives.
Mike Scher, the CEO, of Frontline Selling, believes that asking for 20 to 30 minutes of someone’s attention is a good idea.
This is because 5 minutes is enough time to request. You are important!
Be sure that you are not promoting your business by inviting them to meet up. Is it worth their time to meet with you?
When I reach out to someone I would like to interview, my compelling reasons are presented to them.
I explain what I can do to add value and tell them it will be shared with 350,000 of my social media followers. I don’t boast, I just tell them it’s a great use of their time.
10. Give yourself enough time and space to allow it to happen.
It was part of a longer-term process that I recognized when I first went out to meet interesting, educated, well-known people.
First, I had the opportunity to meet these people. Then I had to be a part of their lives multiple times and make a meaningful contribution. It is important to get to know your industry and attend the meetings that present the best ideas.
This too takes time. Rome was not built in a single day. You will not meet all the people on your list in one day. But if you are brave enough, there is a challenge!
Once you have established the foundation, there is no reason why you shouldn’t meet some of the biggest movers and shakers in your industry.
This strategy allowed me to get interviews with CMOs at major corporations and billionaire Ted Turner, which was an amazing experience.
