通過志願服務提升知名度

拓展業務網絡的第一步，就是要在社區中提高知名度。記住，人們需要了解你，喜歡你，信任你，才能引薦你。志願服務可以讓你在社區裡認識一些關鍵人物。它可以讓你與那些與你有共同愛好的人聯繫在一起。志願服務讓你有機會展示你的才能，技能和誠信，以及你的能力，跟進和做你說要做的事情。它瞬間擴大了你的人脈的深度和廣度。

志願服務不是一種娛樂活動：這是一個嚴肅的承諾。記住，人們需要了解你。他們需要喜歡你，信任你，才能引薦你。志願服務實際上可以定位你的位置，讓你在社會上遇到關鍵的人--與那些與你有共同愛好的人建立聯繫。我相信那些做志願者的人，會表現出他們對事業的承諾，而不考慮個人利益。因此，你應該在你真正感興趣和關心的組織中做志願者。因此，要找到一個與你的興趣相關的組織或事業​​，你需要用健康的思維和策略來對待志願服務。如何決定支持哪個組織？

在選擇志願服務機構時，需要考慮以下幾點：

• 你能確定哪些組織對你有吸引力？選擇一個最吸引你的組織，然後在網上研究一下這個組織。
• 那個團體會給你機會實現你的職業或個人目標之一嗎？你是否會有機會與其他支持你事業的人建立聯繫？
• 參觀完後，你是否還想對自己的時間做出最後的承諾？
• 其他組員對組織是否滿意？

了解你的推薦人，以便你能把引薦人轉介紹給他們，這一點真的很重要。在你的一對一的時候問別人一些關於他們的志願服務活動的問題：

1. 你在業餘時間喜歡做什麼，是否與服務社會有關係？
2. 你有什麼愛好，有沒有提供志願服務的機會？
3. 是什麼帶給你快樂和滿足？
4. 你熱衷於哪些社會或健康問題？

志願服務是一個很好的方式，可以讓你在社區中獲得知名度。它是建立你的個人網絡的好方法。不要做一個山洞裡的人。走出去，與你的社區聯繫，而志願服務是一個很好的方式來做到這一點。我鼓勵你這樣做。

Visibility through Volunteering

One of the first steps toward networking your business is to become more visible in the community. Remember that people need to know you, like you and trust you in order to refer you. Volunteering can position you to meet key people in your community. It connects you with people who share your passion. Volunteering gives you opportunities to demonstrate your talents, skills, and integrity, as well as your ability to follow up and do what you say you are going to do. It instantly expands the depth and breadth of your network.

Volunteering is not a recreational activity: it’s a serious commitment. Remember that people need to know you. They need to like you, trust you, in order to refer you. Volunteering can actually position you in order for you to meet key people in the community- a connection with people who share your passion. I believe that people who volunteer demonstrate their commitment to a cause without concern for personal gain. Thus, you should be volunteering with organizations which you have genuine interest in and concern about. So to find an organization or a cause that relates with your interests, you need to approach volunteerism with a healthy level of thought and strategy. How do you decide which organization to support?

Here are a few things to think about when you choosing a service organization to volunteer at:

• What are three organizations that you can identify that appeal to you? Choose the one that most appeals to you and research the group online.
• Will that group give you the opportunity to meet one of your professional or personal goals? Will you have an opportunity to connect with other people who will be supportive of your business?
• After visiting the group, do you still want to make a final commitment of your time?
• Are other group members satisfied with the organization?

It is really important to get to know your referral partners better so that you can pass referrals to them. Ask others during your one-to-one’s a few of these questions about their volunteering activities:

1. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time, and is there any connection to serving the community?
2. What hobbies do you enjoy, and do they provide any opportunities for volunteering?
3. What brings you joy and satisfaction?
4. What social or health issues are you passionate about?

Volunteering is a great way to get visibility in your community. It’s a great way to build your personal network.  Don’t be a cave dweller. Get out, connect with your community and volunteerism is a great way to do that. I encourage you to do so.
