No Vyke for cold calling! It's only great for cold messaging in Pakistan. Actually, Pakistanis can't call foreigners without a strong VPN through Vyke. A sad reality. Right! But don't worry. Cheap international calls are available with Jazz. For example, you may call anyone in UAE and Saudi Arabia with one Jazz call package. Isn't that interesting! Now should you quit cold calling for other countries? Absolutely not. What you should do is earn some money with your local client(s) that you may get via local cold calls and use that money to get high-level clients from any developed country(ies). So, are you ready for cold calls nationally and internationally? #coldcalls #coldcalling #coldoutreach

In the bustling corporate world of Pakistan, building relationships and leaving lasting impressions are key to success. When I started my consultancy, I quickly learned that a simple visit to a corporate office wasn't enough. I needed to stand out. During one memorable visit to a major company in Lahore, I was advised to bring a substantial gift to show respect and appreciation. That advice led me to invest in expensive gifts like a leather briefcase, high-end watches, designer pens, and luxurious cufflinks, each averaging around 50000 Rs. These gifts have become my entry ticket to meaningful discussions and potential deals. They ensure that I’m remembered and respected, opening doors that might have remained closed otherwise. So, when asked if I’ve ever paid 50000 Rs for a cup of tea in Pakistan, I respond, "Yes, every time I visit a corporate company." In this realm, where impressions are everything, that 50000 Rs isn't just a gift—it's an investment in building relationships and showcasing the value I bring to the table.

Networking tips: Listen, Listen & Listen. Raju Bhai Should I not speak about my business? Absolutely you should, but first listen & then speak. The biggest asset of smart networkers is their ability to listen. When you speak on & on, you will be treated like a unsolicited sales person. Be it Business or Social networking, if you are a listener (priority), people will want to connect with you. If you keep talking, people will avoid you. #jito #jbn #jbntycoons #jitobangalore #tycoons #networking #businessnetworking #beyondbooks #sarvatra #rajubhai #rajendarjain #rajendrajain #businessfamily #grooming #saravatra #beyondbooks #grooming #teens #teenagers #business #businessfamily #culture #familybusiness #rajendarjain #rajubhai #activity #businessnetworking #socialnetworking #jitobangalore #parentinggoals

How did I get to meet and take pictures with Dr Feb Idahosa, President, Benson Idahosa University, Edo State and Bishop of Church of God Mission? It is called NETWORKING! I attended a conference in Abuja where he happened to be one of the panelists. During the break, I walked up to him and we had a short conversation. He saw my book displayed at our exhibition stand and promised to return to buy my book. Before leaving, he kept to his words. He came straight to our exhibition stand with his entourage to buy my book. His presence attracted others to the stand. One of them said to me "I'll relaunch four copies of your book for double the price." Can we now see the power of Networking? It is like a magnetic force if you know how well to leverage it. Networking with one person attracted many others to our exhibition stand that afternoon. It is also important to note that there wouldn't be any such thing as networking without EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION which was what I leveraged and grateful for the fact that Dr Feb was generous to spend a few minutes with me at the stand, despite his busy schedule. Networking is a foundational aspect of success in public speaking. It’s no coincidence that it's called "public" speaking; reaching out to and connecting with an audience is at the heart of the profession. To be an effective speaker, you must first build relationships with the very people you aim to address. Networking not only helps you form these connections but also allows you to establish credibility and authority within your field. The broader your network, the greater your visibility as a speaker. This, in turn, enhances your reputation and opens doors to new opportunities, helping you grow as a trusted and influential voice. #networking #communication #publicspeaking
