2. If you want to get good at networking,
you’ve got to practice
How do I practice:
• Practice with people that you already like
• Be willing to ask questions and listen (The easiest way to give is to listen)
• Lead with give, and you will be respected
• The most powerful way to give, is to help someone “personally”
• Have ideas, be empathetic, mutual benefit and nothing more
3. How do you create a dialogue with the right audience
4 Key Factors
• Networking (55%) more “at bats”
• Marketing (30%)
• Research (5%)
• Professional Development (10%)
4. When your current conversation concludes
Can I ask for 1 favor?
• “NAME, you know enough about me, you know what Im trying to achieve…
who is 1 person I should talk with?”
• (If no)
• “NAME it’s ok, maybe you don’t know enough about me yet, that’s ok. Do
you mind if I reach out to you in a few weeks just to shoot you 1 sentence,
and maybe a person will come to mind (not a big ask)?”
• Always ask, “who’s the next person I should talk with”
5. Introductions go a long way
Don’t let 1 day go by with shaking a new virtual hand
• Keep doing what you KNOW you need to do
• Find the people and introduce yourself
• Post quality, again and again and again (like fishing)
6. Be Present, Be Here
• Embrace social
• Digital trust over time
• Constancy
• Video = 10x more reach
• Now is the time
• Don’t worry if people don’t engage.
