The shift from one-on-one client connections to broader audience engagements requires identifying and connecting with individuals who can introduce the business to larger groups. By adapting ideal connection avatars and fostering relationships with those who provide access to broader audiences, businesses can effectively expand their reach and achieve growth in a more sustainable manner.
