When you want to introduce yourself, it’s very important that you are conscious whom you are talking to. Is it, in my case, for example, a female entrepreneur who could maybe become a member and take more out of the membership, to become more visible. Then I say, I’m the founder and owner of Womenbiz. Womenbiz gives female entrepreneurs the opportunity to be seen, to have more visibility online, offline on lots of channels.
And the goal is that they earn more money, get more clients, earn more money, so they can invest their money in their business development, in using synergies, in delegating the tasks, which are not aligned to their own potential. Then, second, for example, if I’m talking to somebody, who is not a female business owner, but I just talked to her. She has no business. Maybe she’s working on a company, maybe not. I tell her I’m Gabby Cacciatore von Mandach. I’m the owner and founder of Womenbiz. And if you have tasks to delegate, or if you are looking for a nice, very sympathetic female business, then you are right on Womenbiz. Have a look and you have more than 680 female owned companies. And if you’re interested in supporting them, then have a look on Womenbiz, try to find them. And maybe you find one which you can use also for bringing you forward, or where you can delegate your tasks.
For example, if I’m talking to somebody who is working in a big company, for example, who has products, interesting for our ladies and our secondary network also, I tell him, I’m the founder and owner of Womenbiz. I have founded this platform to bring female entrepreneurs forward, but not only that. Also to bring ladies forward. So they can find some female owned companies to support. But not only this. We have only a big network and also a big secondary network, which could be interesting for you, to place your products on Womenbiz. So you have different opportunities to have the access to our female business owners and also to our users to place your products.
So maybe we can talk about this topic. Maybe it’s interesting for you. So you see these are the three different types. And maybe if I talk to an old actress, 70 years old, I´d say -Hey, you’re super interesting, you were an actress. You’re not working that much, maybe, but you have a very interesting way of life. And I’m really interested maybe that you’d write an article on my online magazine, because I am the founder and owner of Womenbiz platform to push female business owners and ladies forward. And it’s very important to have role models. Maybe you are interested in writing an article on this online magazine to bring our ladies forward to the next step on their way to success.
So if you express curiosity, if you express that you are open-minded, nice. Just have a little smile and not too big, have a straight posture, not too straight, but a bit straight, and then have a firm handshake. Just as you would expect somebody, coming towards you, starting a conversation, try also to have analog body language. Body language is very, very, very important. As studies say that it’s more important, how you do something than what you’re saying. Body language is also an instrument. You can cultivate, you can learn about it by observing other people, which could be role models for yourself. Also, maybe there are courses you want to take about your body language. And also you can ask somebody about his impression or her impression she has about you. What was the first impression you made on her, for example. This, you have to ask some people who you have confidence in, but it´s also nice too if you have a sympathetic talk, then, just ask her -Hey, is it possible that you will give me a feedback? I’m working on myself, on my body language, on my posture, on my handshake. What’s your impression? So learn from the feedback from others, and maybe you can also watch yourself in the mirror once you do some videos. You will see if you are smiling enough or too much, and get some feedback to grow. It’s always a question or feedback. Critical about yourself, but not too critical, because if you are too critical, then you don’t act naturally. It’s very, very important to keep your authenticity while working on your growth in any level and in any direction.
