The Importance of Long Term Networking w/Franklin’s Ryan Reid :: Ep 198 MMTBP
Manage episode 425599546 series 2818200
I have known Ryan Reid since 2016. He owns ICU Security which provides camera security systems around Middle Tennessee and way beyond! He has built his business on making long term and truly authentic human connections through various networking endeavors, but mainly through our BNI chapter. He’s quite possibly the longest standing member of any BNI chapter in the region, being with The Williamson County BNI (Wilco) Chapter since 2001.
Our conversation revolved around various business-related topics, including networking, sales strategies, and security. Ryan shares his experiences and insights on how to effectively network within the BNI ecosystem, pass referrals, and continuously educate himself. We also discussed the challenges of starting and maintaining a security business, including employee management and client retention. We touched on the importance of positive thinking and energy in shaping interactions with others, and the limitations of security camera systems in providing foolproof security.
Highlights:
Starting and growing a security business with ups and downs. (4:43)
Business ownership, employee loyalty, and commission-based sales. (16:28)
Working on business vs. in it, with a focus on surveillance technology to help businesses improve. (21:16)
Using technology to improve business operations and retain clients. (32:06)
