Episode notes

This chapter discusses advice for people who want to start building relationships but are not skilled at it yet. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's existing network, starting where they are, and seeking help from people they already have a relationship with. It also highlights the significance of being authentic and vulnerable in order to deepen relationships.

How do you get in touch with people who are incredibly busy and may hold the keys to your ideal career? More than just getting them to respond, how do you get them to be excited to take your call, return your email, or build a relationship with you?

We’ve actually been teaching how to do this for years, but because we get questions about this topic so often, we wanted to bring in an expert on this topic. I am excited to share my conversation with Darrah Brustein, founder of Network Under 40, Equitable Payments, and Financial Whiz Kids who shares her experience and expertise in building relationships with busy people.

What you’ll learn

How to find the “right people” to network with and stand out in your reachouts
How to influence leaders and other busy people to want to help you
How to ask for what you want when networking with busy people (and avoid being presumptuous)
