FD2B Talk Radio Insight of the Night: Joe Salemi

The easiest and probably best way to develop relationships with community and industry influencers is by getting involved. Influencers don’t sit around waiting for things to happen; they make things happen. They also align themselves with others who make things happen and get things done. 

According to DynaSCAPE's Joe Salemi, two great ways to reach these people are by volunteering your time to a community or charity project and getting involved with landscape associations. Volunteering for a worthwhile project is a great way to do something positive and get your name and your company's name out there. Not only will you get you noticed, you’ll get noticed by the right people. The decision makers.

Participating and getting involved in landscape associations does the same thing. It raises awareness to you and your business and shows that you’re active in your industry. Influential people, both inside and outside the industry, put a high value on this activity because they themselves are the same way. They volunteer and get involved and are attracted to those that do the same.
