WHAT IS A
COFFEE CHAT?
Take 15 min or so and chat with a FemCity Member and find ways to support and collaborate together. These can be done via zoom, or mobile or any other digital device that works for both FEMS. Book a 30 min time-block for these sessions so you don’t feel rushed.
You can connect with FEMS to coordinate Coffee Chats during our Wednesday Networking sessions or through our Facebook Group.
Behave as you would in real life and at a coffee chat with another woman. You would never spend 15 min trying to sell yourself to a new friend. Be courteous, kind and loving. Additionally, please be courteous and respectful with cancellations. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please message your coffee friend in advance so they can offer that time spot with another member.
Don't do this :
1. Spend 15 min trying to sell yourself to a FemCity Member. This will leave a bad taste in their mouth and they won't want to connect with you any more.
2. Don't add them to your email marketing list unless they have asked or you have asked and they have said yes.
3. Don't send them an assessment test or marketing materials prior to talking unless they have asked for such a marketing tool.
Do this :
1. Spend 15 min listening to them and getting to know them by asking questions.
2. Ask how you can support them and ways to collaborate where it's equally beneficial for both Members.
3. Follow up and check in with them by sending them love or a gratitude note. Example : It was so lovely meeting and chatting with you. Just wanted to drop you a note to say I was thinking of you and wishing you a beautiful day.
You can grow business from a place of love, kindness and empathy. Don't believe me? I built FemCity with these principles... they work.
