<<Networking Nugget>> Today is an “outside the comfort zone” nugget. You know that person in your office or in your building that you see everyday but do not even know much more than their name? Ask them if they would join you for lunch just to get to know them better. ** Advanced Nugget** Ask 3 more people to join you. The 4 of you can just get to know each other.
Hey Gang~~ I started doing this when I was in college. The cool thing about asking a stranger to lunch is that you NEVER know who they know or if you will become life long friends. One of the reasons I like to invite multiple people is I now position myself as the anchor if any of these relationships bloom. By doing this, you will quickly establish yourself as a connector of people and that is extremely powerful in the world of business relationships. When at lunch it is all about the other people, I want to get to know them and see how I can support them in their business. The cool that happens to me quite often is people are so excited to meet some new people that they almost always do anything to help you in your business. Trust me, doing this might be a bit outside your comfort zone but it can have a HUGE payoff.
Give someone new an AWESOME day!!
