1) Focus on the PERSON, not on the POSITION: Your interest should be in the individual and how your interests align, not what they can do for you.
2. LISTEN: Truly pay attention and have a genuine interest in what you can learn from them.
3. HELP: Always be aware of how you can provide a value-add for the other person.
4. CARE for the relationship: A ‘transaction’ is a often a one time exchange, a relationship is built by creating continued valuable connections.
5. CONNECT: Always think about how you can connect the members of your network with one another. This helps build trust and credibility.
