What is our “Network”?
Everyone we meet and everyone we know, whether personal friends, acquaintances, store clerks, or even contacts made through social media circles that we haven’t met in person.
Size of average person’s network:
• Average American: 634• Technology Users: 669• Non-technology users: 506

Mindshare• “Mindshare” is defined as being at the top of
someone’s mind.
• The less often we interact with people in our networks, the less they think of us and the less mindshare we have with them.
• Setting 5-10 minutes aside per day to contact people in your network increases your mindshare.
How to build mindshare
• Set time aside daily to contact people in your network.
• Choose a quick way to get a message across, e.g. email, phone call, card or note.
• Ensure that your message is relevant, valuable, and meaningful to them.
