How to Connect with People that You Care About – A Laura Roeder Interview

Laura Roeder Quote

When you approach people it’s important to connect as a peer instead of a fan because you have amazing talents too. It’s this mindset shift that can help you create more meaningful connections. When you connect with people from a place of heart and curiosity, the conversation flows more naturally.

Laura Roeder talks about how she started her business by building websites and moved into social media. Each step led to her building software to help entrepreneurs improve connections on social media.

I also loved her answer to my secret of happiness question. I like how she broke down the decision process behind how she tries to add happiness to her life on a daily basis.

The best quote from the interview was:

Click to Tweet – “Approach people as a peer instead of a fan.” – @lkr

“We’re usually off base with what the customer really wants because they look for different details.” – Laura Roeder

“I’ve given up with being strategic (about networking). I’m going to hang out with people I like and are interesting to hang out with.” – Laura Roeder

The Power of Story with Mike Pacchione

Mike Pacchione Quoted

The most important thing you can do as a business is to include stories that resonate with your customers.

The more you can communicate why you are trying to help people the easier it is to create a relationship. That’s where a powerful story can make all the difference. Customers can see themselves in the story and understand why your product is worth their time and money.

Mike explains how to paint a picture that allows customers to see how you can create success through their eyes. It all starts with showing people how things could work versus telling them how you can help them.

The best quote from the interview was:

“All you ever need to do (to create a connection) is to put things in terms that resonates with them (customers).” – Mike Pacchione

Just remember to try to put yourself in the receiver’s position and how you would like to be contacted.
