Listen in, and you’ll learn:

  • How we can use habits to help us connect with people
  • Which simple action is the most effective habit for building relationships
  • How free tools can help us keep track of useful and interesting articles
  • Why preparing and connecting before a conference is helpful
  • What to do after a conference to build strong relationships

Notes from this Episode:

The Most Basic Habit: Reach out to one person each day.

  • Focus on being useful and interesting.
  • When you do make a request, be direct and clear.
  • Share relevant articles by organizing them with Pocket.
  • Get reminders of who you should contact by tracking them with Relate.ly.

Make the most of conferences and events by having a strategy.

  • Pre-conference: Decide who you want to meet and reach out before the event.
  • During: Use your research to start relevant conversations and ask “who else should I meet?”
  • After: Stay in contact every 3-4 days for the next 3 weeks to solidify the relationship.
