Building Your Very Best Network:
In building your network, it usually makes sense to work form inside out. When possible, build initially upon those who are nearest and dearest to you. Then inch your way toward others who are not as close. First lay foundation of those who:
1. Are closest to you and who know you best.
2. Have the best connections.
3. Can provide or bring you closer to your objective.
Close contacts, especially family and dear friends, often have a high stake in your success and will go to greater lengths to link you up with contacts who can help.
Often, you near and dear ones will be more willing to go out on a limb for you, contact powerful people, or call in chits that they've obtained in return for past favors. In addition, they might recommend other helpful contacts or strategies.
Be expansive -- define your nearest and dearest liberally. Do not look only to your parents, siblings, and close friends. Contact your aunts, uncles, grandparents, distant relatives, in-laws, godparents, and your business associates and members of their families. Explore all connections. Ignore the removed with relatives who are once removed. With, friends, call upon their parents, siblings, relatives, friends, and business associates. Leave no stone unturned.
Remember that:
A. The easiest and most efficient way to expand your resources.
B. The smartest place to start networking is with those who love you or owe you.
So whenever possible, begin your networking close to home. Develop a plan, have patience, build a solid foundation, and work from there.
After you've established your local network and have moved to greener pastures, try to retain your connections with your local contacts. Jill says, Consider your local network base, your bedrock supportive structure. Try to find time to return to meetings of local organizations and to attend local events. Those who helped you on the way up will appreciate and spread the word about your unwavering support.
The above is an excerpt from the National Bestseller NETWORKING MAGIC by Rick Frishman and Jill Lublin.
