#11 We go to an event | Go online | Go to linkedin | Go to a meeting We try to connect with people Event | Online | LinkedIN | Meeting You are entirely self-focused. You say you want a relationship but all you want is a transaction. Building a database vs building relationships
#12 We go to an event | Go online | Go to linkedin | Go to a meeting We try to connect with people Event | Online | LinkedIN | Meeting You are entirely self-focused. You say you want a relationship but all you want is a transaction.
#13 Do a self assessment Who do you want to meat – why? What groups should you be a part of – why? How much time should you spend – Why?
#14 How do you want to be remembered
#15 What does being strategic mean? Starting out with questions: Where do you want to work, What are the sacrifices you are willing to make (b/c you will have to make them)What groups fit within this strategy? You can’t be everything to everyone So stop trying to be everything to every posting.

#21 Some people we cannot help I know it is hard but if you help people with small pieces of advice sharing leads that are sent to you asking how people are doing it helps not only you in the future but also your brand (how people remember you)
#22 Send an update monthly or quarterly to your contacts How you are doing Asking how they are This is a very soft reminder you are still out there People forget so you may have to remind them.
