Create a spreadsheet of the people who you are currently creating connections with. The second thing is curating the network.<br>Here are the archetypes to think of when you\u2019re curating your network:<ul><li>Advocates &#8211; the people who love to help you and support you&nbsp;<\/li><li>Boomerangs &#8211; people who have a reciprocity mindset<\/li><li>Celebrities &#8211; someone who others want to meet<\/li><li>Drains &#8211; someone in a high state of need&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>TCM (Time, Connection, Money) Index <br>If you are having a deficit in one of these areas, the answer to solving the deficit is in the other two. Who are you connecting with? How much time is that taking up? Ask people about their TCM index<\/li><li>Two steps to blowing people\u2019s minds after a meeting:<ol><li>Do what you say you\u2019re going to do<\/li><li>Do it promptly.<br>Here\u2019s the thing. Most of the time after a meeting, someone is going to make a promise that they\u2019re going to do something. A lot of the time they don\u2019t do it. When you\u2019re finished with a meeting, open your calendar and put downtime to do what you said you will.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top Q&amp;A Questions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>How can I keep track of details of the conversion?<ul><li>The best way is to tell people that you are going to take notes. Very few people will have any issue with it. I usually have one of those little tiny notepads.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>How do we see the engagement online?&nbsp;<ul><li>With the online world, you\u2019re dealing with people who are either engaged or tuning out. The people who shut off their cameras, people who are not paying attention. If you\u2019re a host, you can just shoot quick private messages to people.<br>If you\u2019re a participant, check out the chat.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>How do you connect with people online without coming across as a spammer?<ul><li>One of the best ways is to actually do research. Right now, everyone is automated. If you take the time to do a little bit of research, you won\u2019t be in that spammer category.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\"><p>With a little guidance and practice, you can build real, deep connections that\u2019ll move your life and business forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":3378,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[127,44],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
