Bank Balance Networking
"Just like you can't make withdraws on your bank account until you have committed some deposits, effective networking operates the same way." So said an investment banker friend during a speech he gave in Newport Beach, CA in 1999.
He is right and the commonly used analogy holds water. The challenge is many people become conscious of networking when they need something - job search, new clients, a new dentist, etc. Making deposits a way of life and being aware of opportunities to behave like a connector is a great way to add value and separate yourself from the pack!
