Habits All Successful Connectors Share: Part Two (out of the archives)

In this episode, I’m reaching into the archives to look at one of my favorite conversations.

Today we continue our conversation on the Connector’s Path. We not only reveal the pivotal step to becoming a power connector, we explore another one of co-host Michael Roderick’s foolproof concepts.

Asking your connections for what you need without damaging the relationship is one of the toughest skills to master. Luckily, we’ve figured out how to do it.

Topics include:

  • The four different types of asks (and how to master them)
  • Seeking introductions to opportunity instead of reciprocity
  • Not overselling yourself
  • How to reach out to high-profile people
