Building Bridges

How can I build a bridge for the person I’m talking to?

• Can I make an introduction?
• Can I offer an invitation?
• Can I make a recommendation?

Removing Roadblocks

How can I remove a roadblock for someone?

• Can I collect the empties after an event to facilitate networking?
• Can I teach them something new?
• Can I provide consulting for how to get over an obstacle?

Jab Jab Jab

To grow your network, you must have a mindset of abundance. I’ve co-opted the Gary Vaynerchuk philosophy from Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook and applied it to networking. I know people, I know things, and I know people who know things.

My “jab, jab, jab” play is to offer those to people I meet, giving as much value as I can. So I rarely ever have to deliver the right hook, because my network wants to reciprocate on giving value back.
