3. in an elevator
waiting in line for a sandwich
commenting on someone’s haircut
coming across someone with a
bucket of fish
Create the networking opportunity-
don’t wait for someone else to
create it for you.
5. make a introduction with someone
they need in their network
share key info on a trend they
might be interested in
give them a tip when it comes to a
topic you’re a subject matter
expert in
Helping someone out will always
keep you in the forefront of their
minds.
7. send them a YouTube video on a new
trend they might find interesting
invite them to an event they’ve shown
interest in
send them a referral if they’re looking
for someone with specific talents
add Value when you reach out to
your network.
9. are you reaching out too often after
the initial meeting? (anything over 1X a
month is too much—unless there is a
back and forth occurring)
if they haven’t responded after 2
attempts—stop reaching out. (Get the
hint)
Silence is golden, unless it’s a
technique being used to keep you
at bay. Respect people’s time.
