Some days you wake up ready to take on the world. Other days you wake up wondering how you’re going to get through it. Every business owner knows that feeling, the weight of being the one who can’t call in sick, can’t drop the ball, and has to keep everything moving even when you’re running on empty.

Tanor Banks shares an honest reminder that you are not alone. This one’s for the wrap shop owners and business builders who give everything they have and still feel like it’s not enough. It’s the warm hug, the reset, and the gentle push you need to keep going.

When the phones stop ringing, most shop owners panic. They post more, discount more, and hope something sticks. But the most powerful marketing move you can make doesn’t cost a thing, it’s showing up and meeting people.

In this episode of The WrapOps Podcast, Andrew breaks down how networking can become your shop’s most reliable source of referrals.

From the right mindset to the simple actions that create lasting connections, he shares how building real relationships will grow your business faster than any ad or cold call ever could.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• Why most wrap shops overlook networking — and how to fix that

• The “giver’s gain” approach that makes people want to refer you
• How to craft a simple 30-second elevator pitch that stands out
• The power of one-to-one meetings and how to use them to build trust

📋 Takeaways You Can Use Right Away:
• Start by searching your local Chamber of Commerce or business groups on Meetup or Eventbrite

• Practice your short pitch so you sound confident, not rehearsed
• Follow up with people you meet and schedule quick one-to-one coffees
• Support others before asking for anything — like, share, and review their work online
• Remember: you’re not selling to the room, you’re selling through it
