If there is one personal business quality I would package & sell to others is my ability to ask for and receive opportunities a.k.a. Creative deal-making.

I reverse engineered why this works for *me* into bite sized lessons that will work for *you*

I shoot my shot often in business & partnership scenarios but what is often overlooked is that I give value 10x more than I ask.

💡Establish a “Reciprocity Engine” for your platform that enables you to give freely.

Why is this important? ➡️

“Reciprocity Engine” is important as you position yourself for larger opportunities.
Decision makers will vet your worthiness based upon your:
✅referrals
✅social proof
✅testimonials

💡The depth that people are willing to vouch for you reflects the heights that you’ll reach

Examples of “Reciprocity Engines” that you will leverage to lay down the framework for larger deals & opportunities are:

✅Active #LinkedIn profile
✅Podcast
✅Meetup group
✅Mastermind group
✅Teleconference calls

The #1 quality for increasing the amount of creative deals and opportunities that you shoot for is:
💡Being genuinely aware and curious of your surroundings.
Exercise:

What questions come to mind?

This sign communicates to me:
1.)I can suggest Facebook ads services to help the Owners fill vacancies.
2.)If the property is consistently looking to lease, there’s an offer to be made to own the building at a discount.
💡Creative deals require observation. #smb

Shooting your shot for business opportunity require that you pay attention.
