Episode notes

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Frank Agin discuss:

Why networking isn’t pushed in law school.
The science of networking and why networking is like golf.
The power of small talk (and why it actually works).
The three reasons lawyers do not get referrals.

Key Takeaways:

Networking is really about building relationships and helping others.
You have to help people to help you. If they don’t know what you do or what you are looking for, they won’t know how to refer you or that you even are looking for more business.
People need help from you to recognize the referral opportunities and, perhaps, even the empowering language to know what to say.
Build relationships outside of the organizations you’re a part of. Meet a few of them on a deeper level, add value to their lives, and it will come around in spades.

"Find something you’re passionate about and get out and volunteer. Get out there, put yourself out there with people who care about the same thing you do, and you’ll be amazed and what comes from that." — Frank Agin
