When I find myself torn between two influential contacts seeking introductions, I navigate the situation by prioritizing transparency and diplomacy. I assess the nature of their requests and the potential benefits for both parties. Then, I communicate openly with each contact, explaining the situation and expressing my intention to support both connections. If it makes sense, I might suggest introducing them to each other or offer to connect them at different times. This approach allows me to maintain professionalism and strengthen my network without favoring one over the other. — Gil Petersil

Além disso, avalio o impacto estratégico de cada apresenta??o, garantindo que as decis?es estejam alinhadas aos objetivos de longo prazo, mantendo o relacionamento positivo com ambos.
