Rich Woo: Relationship Based Networking
In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Rich Woo discuss:
- Establishing habits to accomplish your goals.
- Creating strong relationships to help those around you.
- The systems of building a relationship-based network.
- Wide versus deep in relationship building.
Key Takeaways:
- There is value in people, relationships, and caring for others. This will help you to become a better relationship person and a better networker.
- Networks, at the core, are relationships. They happen over a long period of time of care and value exchange, not over single cups of coffee.
- Have a way to keep in touch with everyone in your network. It doesn’t have to be the same for everyone, but there should be some type of system in place.
- Powerful networking happens when you get to know the other’s heart and mind, even if you don’t yet know their business.
"I always think about kind of three characteristics that we look for in those specific centers of influences: folks that advocate for you, that have influence, and are connected." — Rich Woo
