28. 5 Signs Your Networking Is Slowing Down Your Business
Description
More rooms doesn’t equal more growth.
In this episode of the business growth podcast Why Your Business Isn’t Growing (and how to fix it!), Brendan Rogers shows why your networking may be slowing sales—and how to fix it in a week.
You’ll learn five signs (cards not relationships; dreading follow-up; pitching instead of connecting; entering events without a goal; a foggy one-liner) and simple fixes:
- a 24-hour follow-up script,
- the 90-second event goal,
- two coaching questions,
- and the one line that flips any room—“Who are you trying to help next?”
Built for time-poor owners, this small business podcast episode gives practical systems that lift referrals and delivery, accelerate leadership development, and make scaling a business feel sane. Expect team-friendly moves too—because networking is leadership in the wild—so you’ll build repeatable habits for leadership development and a stronger pipeline.
Created by Leader By Design, this leadership podcast and team performance podcast stays punchy, useful, and human. Ready to replace activity with outcomes? Listen now.
