ConnectorCon

Produced by @smallpondent, ConnectorCon = The Connecting Connectors Conference. We're looking for people obsessed with #connecting and committed to #giving.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Think of someone in your network who is really amazing at conversation. Schedule a long lunch or coffee with them.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

The most powerful thing you can do in a meeting is listen intently. The more you understand, the more help you can give. #reallyconnect

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Thanking someone is an art. If you send a quick "Tx" you are making a choice to ignore all of the tools at your disposal.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

If you can manage expectations you can manage anything or anyone better. The biggest conflicts come from unclear deliverables. #beclear

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

You can help anyone if you ask enough questions. What questions are you forgetting to ask in your meetings? Dig deep to make a big impact.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

If you're taking a meeting with someone who doesn't know anyone you're looking for, ask if they know anyone your friends are looking for.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Take the time to follow up after making an introduction. You want to know how it went and if it was beneficial to both parties. #curate

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Think of something really big to ask for, something you're not even sure you deserve -- go for it and face the fear!

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

It takes a significant investment of your time to build solid relationships, but there is no other investment with a greater return.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Great partnerships start from great conversations. Great conversations come from listening and sharing value. Both of you benefit. #connect

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

For every person who receives a business card at an event, there is a single best way to stand out from the crowd: #followup right after.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

What major impact in the world do you plan to make today? There's no better time than now to start building something great. #create

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

As time goes by and you become more successful, you may find yourself drifting from those who helped you. Don't forget who built your ship.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Making meaningful connections requires a significant investment of your time. Ask good questions, listen, and apply what you've learned.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Anyone in a decision making capacity spends most of the day being asked for something. Break that cycle and you'll make an impact. #connect

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Those in your life who give the most, are often the ones who are the most afraid to ask. Ask them what they need.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Many people strive to get in front of decision-makers, but it's not about #access; it's about #interest. They have to want to meet you.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

If you show up and do what you say you'll do, you'll stand out from the countless people who make promises and fall short. #authenticitywins

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Finding a great partner can be a major moment of growth for any project. Who could YOU partner with? Reach out.

[ConnectorCon @ConnectorCon]

Ambiguity is kryptonite for anyone who is a #connector. Make sure you are specific in asking for what you need and you're likely to get it.
