Remember when you went out on your first date? It was probably full of moments when you were wondering when the other person would make the first move or would it be right for you to make the move. In business it is full of these moments too. People are always thinking that a potential client is out of their reach and would never listen to them. WRONG!!!

Many times this is not the case. People are always looking to connect and find others who can help add value to their business, life, and causes that they support. I know that I am always happy to receive an email, phone call, and/or meet in person for coffee to find out more about the person and see where I can add value to his/her life.

The question that still looms is “How do you make the first move?” The answer is pretty simple. Add value to the other person’s life and do not immediately ask for anything in return.

Connect with the person on Twitter

Retweet and add positive comments to his tweets to start a conversation between you and the other person. This generates a feeling that you are interested in what the other person is currently doing. The more that the person sees your valuable tweets and compliments, the more that he will look into seeing who you are.

Read and comment on his blog 

This lets the person know that you are actively seeking out what is happening in his life. Maybe you have a great contact or idea that the person can value from speaking to on a topic. Mention that in the comments area and share his website with your community. The more that you share and spread the person’s work, the higher you will get on being in touch with that person.

Offer something that can help the person

Share something valuable with him without asking for anything in return. Maybe you read another article that fits directly in with his latest project. Tweet, add him to an update, or send an email saying I thought you may enjoy this and I hope you have a wonderful day. Short and sweet without asking for anything in return. Don’t say “I need your help on my project” or “I want you to check out my new book.” None of that. Just send them a note that will help them, and you will see the rest in due time.

You can make the first move and should make the first move. Without doing so, you are missing out on a number of opportunities. Don’t miss the boat on this one.
