Synopsis

Discover and create a dynamic new model for growing your business by connecting with customers outside your usual field of view

Do you think you know your ideal customer?  Think again. Many businesses create an ideal consumer profile―aiming all their sales and marketing efforts towards this single type of person―and end up missing out on endless opportunities to sell their services or products.

Award-winning business coach, speaker and author Pamela Slim has helped thousands of entrepreneurs around the world start, sustain, and scale their businesses. In The Widest Net, she explains how to build strong diverse relationships, identify and connect with new partners, expand markets, generate leads, and find new customers in places you may never have considered.

Social media is a valuable business tool, but it can often create a comfortable cocoon for entrepreneurs, marketers, and leaders who all need to understand the entirety of the marketplace, not just their own social graph. With this book as a guide, you’ll learn how to connect with potential clients and customers using the true breadth of the marketplace, which she calls an ecosystem of living connections.

The Widest Net shows how to:

   • Search outside your own lens/bias/routine/history to target ideal customers.
   • Attract the interest and attention of new leads by learning more about them authentically.
   • Develop products and services suited to these customers.
   • Sell through a trusted reciprocity framework where your customers become part of your ecosystem and you each help the other grow.
   • Build and sustain loyalty and trust with new customers.
   • Nurture a diverse and resilient customer base by identifying and adjusting to the ideal customer target over time.

I've been a big fan for Pamela Slim for many years so was excited to read her latest book. I read an early review copy, and look forward to getting a copy I can scribble in so that I can work through some of the exercises. I will also be recommending it to a couple of business-owner friends/colleag......more

Goodreads review by Dawn on August 29, 2021

This book reinvigorated my approach to what I'm dreaming for my business. Hungry for more relational, anti-capitalist ways of engaging with others, there is so much in this book that is deeply practical while also being inspiring and rooted in ethics of social change and community care.......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa on January 06, 2025

Pam Slim gave a talk at a conference I attended in 2023, and so I added this to my reading list - she is a great speaker who radiates inner confidence and flow. What I like about her, is her deep spiritual belief that she is guided to do her work, and that she is contributing to a better future. The......more
