BRX Pro Tip: How to Ask for Help
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, it’s so important when you have a business to be willing to ask for help, but how do you ask for help?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:15] Yeah. Sometimes asking for help happens just organically, and I think it’s important that when somebody does organically ask if there is something they can do to help you, that you say yes and then you have an answer to that question.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:32] At Business RadioX, people are always asking us at the end of an interview how can they help us. Or, when we meet somebody at a networking event, they ask how they can help us. The easiest way to help somebody at Business RadioX is to introduce us to an interesting guest. That’s something that is at the core of our mission is that the core of our business and is at the top of our pipeline. We build our pipeline by interviewing business leaders in the communities we serve. So, everything starts with interesting guests that are doing work that’s important.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:06] But if you don’t have a platform like ours, here are some other things that you might consider asking for. What’s a good book you’ve read? You know, what’s a blogger you like or who’s a blogger you like? Or, ask for a client. You know, people are always looking for more clients or better clients, so asking for a client is useful. As for an employee, ask for somebody to mentor or ask for somebody that maybe wants mentoring.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:36] Those are areas that you can ask because when you’re in business, you always need something. So, when the opportunity occurs and somebody asks how they can help you, I highly recommend you take them up on their offer and ask for something that you need.
