"It is not what you know or who you know but how well you know each other that counts."
A network is only as helpful as the people within it. It is good to have 10 helpful individuals in a network rather than 1,000 people who aren’t so inclined.
Do not get distracted by aiming for relationships with big-name in industry Focus on growing a network slowly with the right people, and you’ll find that you create opportunities for yourself.
Here are some ways you can create a network of people who will consistently help you:
1. List Building :
#Figure out who matters most,
We can say them "Hot Contacts". these are who's help you to make valuable connections, these are the contacts whose presence in your life is clearly valuable to your career.
Yes "These are not the people to whom you just send good wishes occasion," he says. "You should be talking two or three times a year. You should know what their interests are and follow up with them around."
#Pick your next tier.
We can say them "Cold Contacts". This group might be 50 to 100 contacts, These are people who have perhaps helped or have the potential to do so in the future, contacts you may not know well enough. "don't follow up with them with the same intensity,".
#Find easy ways to engage everyone else.
"everyone else" is about 10,000 people. send them Quotation, Videos to be in touch with them after-all Quantity is good. don't forget Social Media.
2. If you want to connect with someone, find a way to help that person :
It's easy to assume that a wealthy and successful contact already has everything he or she desires and wants nothing from the likes of you. If you're thinking that way, get over it.
Find out the desires and concerns of your contacts. May it will be one of the give below,
- Extra Income
- Financial Freedom
- Financial Security
- Time Freedom
- Own Business
- New Friends
- Charity
- Retirement Feeling
- Personality Development
- World Tour
- Dream House
- New Car
- Passive Earning
- Spending Time with Family
- Enjoy Hobbies
- Healthy Bank Balance
- Good Health
If you want to make a connection with a new contact, especially a very busy one, the quickest way is to arouse that person's curiosity with something unexpected.
"It's good to get people emotionally engaged." They will liste to you after knowing that they are getting the chance to live their true dreams by your way only.
4. Think people, not positions :
"Everyone reading this knows people who are smart, ambitious, motivated, and interesting," Some of those people, in eight or 10 years, are going to be influencers. They may even be CEOs."
It's a lot easier to get to know someone and form a connection early in that person's career, "It's not that easy to break into the inner circle of 50- or 60-year-old executives. It's a lot easier to build up that equity early. So think about who in your network seems to be going places and is really interesting and make a strong connection. Even if they don't become an influencer, it'll be an interesting relationship."
5. Give before you ask :
just want to explain in one line that "Before you ask for something, make sure you've invested in that person".
6. Be generous :
That doesn't mean you should only reach out to contacts or do things for them when you expect something in return. "You can't operate with the thought of reciprocity in mind," If you go around with that mercenary attitude it will show, and people will think you're a self-interested schmuck."
Instead, "You have to have a generous spirit. The greatest networkers genuinely like to help others. They're always doing it. And if they ever do need anything, people will fall over themselves to help them."
There are a variety of ways to make a relationship meaningful — but the one I find the most value in is the differentiating factor. It could be as simple as sending her a note on her birthday or, going a step further, helping her get a new job or opportunity that would open a lot of doors.
It is true that by doing something different — something that exceeds their expectations, big or little — our relationships become much more meaningful over time. They end up becoming some of our strongest connections — even our closest friends.
8. Focus on Transparency :
It’s hard to want to help someone when you think he’s full of shit. What tends to work is having a sense of trust and understanding of who you are and how you work. believe in the philosophy of being as transparent as you can with contacts so there aren’t any surprises.
9. Make Sure Your Connections Know What’s Valuable to You :
For someone to truly be able to help you, he has to understand what’s actually valuable to you. Sometimes, people in network send introductions just to feel as though they’re “checking the box” of doing me a favor. However, when end up getting on the phone with an individual who was never the right fit in the first place, it wastes time for both of us.
All it takes is simply telling people what’s valuable to you.
Appreciate the affords weather results are low, your appreciation defiantly increase the energy level to work with more energetic strategy to get strong results. To appreciate your team you can organise small get-together time to time or price them with appreciation card or any gift, this is the way to transfer the positive wave of your heart to them to get strong results.
Strong relationships take simple "contacts" and turn them into powerful "connections." It doesn't really matter if you have an amazing database of people with many phone numbers. What really matters is how many of them will take the call if I can pick up the phone and ask for a favor.
