Creates Business, a podcast for wedding pros. This is your host
Kinsey Roberts.
You may have noticed from the title that I am bringing back Tip
Tuesdays, I am. So if you are a new listener to the show, you may
not know that over the summer every single Tuesday I brought an
episode that's about 15 or 20 minutes long, sometimes less, that is
just a quick tip or idea or thought about something I'm trying in
my own wedding business.
And I got really great feedback about that series, and I enjoyed it myself.
It was a really great time, and a really great way for me to
just kind of talk out what was going on in my own business and
being really transparent about things I was testing out or things
that weren't working or things that are working. And I'm bringing
it back. I'm going to just keep doing it every single
Tuesday.
It's no longer a series, it's going to be part of this regular show
because I love it and I really appreciate you guys giving me that
great feedback about loving those short, snackable size episodes
where there's just one thing that you can take away and say, "Hey,
I can do something with that."
So we're going to kick it off again and today marks the first episode of Tip Tuesday for our kind of fall time period into the ... I'm going to do it through the end of the year and see how it goes. But before we get started with today's tip, I want to tell you that today's podcast is sponsored by Sudio Sweden.
And that's not studio with a T, but it's Sudio, which is spelled
S-U-D-I-O. Sudio contacted me and said, "Hey, we've listened to
your show. We would love for you to grab a couple pairs of
headphones from us.
See if you like them, and we'd love to sponsor your show and offer
your listeners a discount if you're interested in that, and you
like the product." And I absolutely was interested because I am a
podcaster so having new headphones, trying new headphones, was
completely in line with who I am.
You guys know that I have a podcast course, and we're all
interested ... I know I'm kind of preaching to the choir here when
I say, "I always want pretty headphones," right? I'm constantly
listening to other podcasts, I'm constantly listening to other
audiobooks, webinars, what have you, recording shows.
And so a sponsorship from a headphone company was like, yes
please.
So Sudio, thank you so much for sponsoring today's show. I want
you guys to know that you can get 15% off any purchase over at
Sudio using the code shecreatesbusiness. You can also just tap your
podcast player and use that link in there to make your
purchase.
And one of the great things about Sudio this month in October is,
as I record this, is they are donating 10% of their purchases to
breast cancer awareness month. So really appreciate that.
Also, I recorded an unboxing video of the two pairs of headphones
that I tried. And you can find that over on
shecreatesbusinesspodcast.com. Go have a
Go have a look-see over there, the link is also in the show notes, so you can see the models that I tried. I tried the Vasa earbuds and then I also tried the Regents, which are over-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones. So take a peek at that and again,

Okay today's quick Tip Tuesday is how to network with strangers.
And the impetus for this podcast episode is I just got a networking
request, kind of, from somebody that I do not know. I've never had
any interaction with them, and their request was kind of strange, I
thought. It's not that I don't like to connect with people I don't
know, that's really what the entire internet and this podcast has
done for me.
But I think there's ways to go about it that are easy ways to get a
yes from the person that you're asking. I have certainly made these
mistakes so don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm not telling you
that I am perfect and network well all the time. That's not
true.
But as I've grown the show and as I've gotten to know other people
and as I've kind of gained a following ... I don't want to say that
in a weird way, but I just mean as the show has gotten bigger, as
it has appeared kind of in the top 200 of the management and
marketing category, I've gotten contacted by people like we all do.
I know I'm sure you do too.
We all get emails from people who want one thing or another or they
want to meet us or they want to talk to us. And I love that and I
think that's great. I do it every single week. I pitch my own
guests. I get pitches as well but honestly I love to find my own
guests.
And so that's another reason why I think these are really important because my guests are strangers typically before I have them on the show. I mean, a lot of times I'm meeting them before but especially when I first started the show, everybody except for the people I met at Creative At Heart Conference was a stranger. And so I had to approach them in a really unique way so that I wasn't just some random person off the street like, "Hey, can you give me 30 minutes of your life for no reason? Thanks." You know what I mean?
