Great Connections

Here are some tips on making great connections.

- Have great conversations, a high quality conversation can open doors, deepen the connection, or create natural alignments based on common interests.
- Because people do business with people they like and trust, be yourself. Be sincere, be real, and let your personality show, use your sense of humor and enjoy the moment.
- Ask others who they have found to be great connectors, and then ask for an introduction.
- Spend quality getting to know those people who seem to know everyone and are well connected.
