5 Step Success Strategy
1. Define a specific goal
2. Think of the people in the best position to help you reach your goal
3. Use “Advanced Search”
4. Look at the list for common contacts
5. Ask the person you have the best relationship with for a Magic Mail
Fundamental Principle 1
the REAL Power is in the 2nd Degree
1st Degree: everyone knows 250 people
2nd Degree: those 250 know 125 = 31,250
3rd Degree: 31,250 * 125 = 3,906,250
4th Degree: 3,906,250 * 125 = 488,281,250
5th Degree: 488,281,250 * 125 = 61,035,156,250
Fundamental Principle 2
the Networking Attitude
Networking Attitude
= sharing information in a reactive and proactive way
without expecting anything immediately in return
“Give and Receive”
Fundamental Principle 3
the “Know, Like & Trust” Factor
“All things being equal people do business with
– and refer business to – people they know, like and trust.”
Bob Burg (USA), Networking Expert
