Great advice Andy! The topic of networking always reminds me of my favorite quote from you: "It's not what you know. It's not who you know. It's who knows what you know."
Hi Andrew, Great tips on networking. I was just thinking about it this week how I was going to reach out to others and see where I can help them. I truly believe in helping others first before my self it just makes me feel like I accomplished something good.... And at the same time I feel more confident within my self to make better decisions. Thank you as always!!
Susan, love to hear it. Be confident. You have lots to offer others and they have lots to offer you. One of the biggest mistakes people make when networking is they don't open their hearts and minds to the possibilities others can introduce them to. Be open. Good things will come!
This is the best vieo I've seen on networking because of the concrete and specific steps laid out for anyone to try out... Thank you Andy for your effort in creating this video!
How do you recommend keeping up new professional contacts you just gained that can possibly help you in the long run? Its still pretty formal so I wouldn't feel comfortable just calling them up, but in emailing or shooting a text, how could I keep things going?
Check out my networking video with a few case studies that can help give you some ideas, Professional Networking | Tips from Success Stories. Good luck!
This is golden information. Recently met the commencement speaker and when I reached out the email didn’t send or save. The template I something I’ll utilize from here on out.
its ultimate! I am into networking and i can very well relate to what you are saying. I am Devendra , and am running networking group, Lucknow Networkers, in India. All the best!
The problem I'm running into is giving. Since I'm a young professional, I don't have a lot to give when I'm networking with older professionals in the industry I want to break into.
Hi Andrew. Thanks for the video. I have a question: Making friends is about building relationships. Networking is also about building relationships. My question is.... how do you distinguish between the two? Thanks
This is awesome. I'm a musician for a living and I just moved to NY. This really helps me have an idea how to get some relationships built that may open up opportunity for more work. Thanks!
I've just found this video in 2020 and It's really interesting for me. I'm trying to build my relationship map.Thank you for sharing this 3 yeras earlier. Good luck.
Wow- very insightful content, most of this stuff is so simple but what I have noticed regarding achieving a gargantuan achievement/goal in life are doing small incremental modifications of the same thing over and over again depending on the industry/objective)! Networking is no different, as we get better at it with repetition, and using your strategies only sets us up that much more for success! Andrew, I am currently planting seeds right now! Myself and 2 mech engineers are developing a new device that cleans hair/lint/dirt off of clothing and upholstered items (furniture/car seats). We are getting close to a minimum viable product (MVP) but 2 things are desired which are: 1. CTO Chief technical founderwho can systematically group/organize and properly drive devlpemnt as I am not technically skilled. And Ideally I would like this person to sign up from a long term perspective and founder-status level. 2. A lab/facility where we can really test out our prototype. Right now, I am spending 50 percent of the time playing CTO role and managing development as best I can and the other half using linkedin filtered searches like "CTO" "mechanical engineer" "lab engineer" and so forth and shooting them a less than 300 character linkedin message briefly on what we are building and how they could provide value. I know you are very busy and if you do not get to a reply, I completely understand. Any insight would be helpful and would even pay for a 15, 20 or even less call if possible of course. thanks again for the free and valuable content and all you do. Jon Bonafide-
Great advice, hoping to build a network this year. Do you think its better to focus on friends and family or should we apply this advive to brand new relationships?
Jay, I would recommend first figuring out WHERE you want to go. Then, figure out who can take you there. It might be family and friends or it might be new folks. By the way, check out my free webinar How to Find a Job You Love. I comment on this particular question in the webinar: www.milewalkacademy.com/p/free-webinar-how-to-find-a-job-you-love
Hi Andrew, Thanks for the Amazing video, really enjoyed listening to this video. Was wondering if you have a sample (networking) template on your website.
Hey Andrew! Your videos are really helpful and to the point. Thanks and keep up with your great work. I'm in college now and I'm interested in getting a job referral from a 70 year old alumnus working in a reputed company. Apart from connecting in linked in and email I wish to go an extra mile in convincing him to offer a recommendation. Any suggestions?
How to Develop Professional Relationships. 1. Identify your goals. 2. Head into research. (Who will help me move to that goal?) Find individuals you want to reach out to. 3. Relationship Map: Develop a list of 60-100 people that you connect with over the course of the year. 4. Have messages prepared in advance that you can answer individuals with. 5. Execute the plan. (Plan to hang out with 5-6 people to see who shows up and who to remove from the relationship map. You can add more individuals to the chart.)
enjoyed listening to you Andrew - makes a lot of sense and I think I'm following the logic here :-) My biggest issue 'was' remembering everyone I meet out in the field, but I think I've solved that now - never forget anyone now via an app. Other issue is finding more time for networking :-)
Patrick. You can use the video if it is embedded and the people from your site can watch it via the embedded RUclips link. If you download the video and upload it to your website, that’s a copyright infringement. So, just use the embedded offering RUclips has!!
My biggest issue is I want to create a business but I find I don't want to a) take away friendships for business b) I want to get myself involved in my community or join a sports league to meet people but I find finances are tight..I also find I buy from people but they don't support my business back...I don't know what to do without coming out too pushy...what should I do?
Great video Andrew! Thanks a lot. I love the art of networking and have taken it upon myself to inform others on its importance and power. I've done years of research on it as a result, and your vid is one of my favourites!
Mrs.StephanieMiskowicz-Lhila I believe having a strong Bussiness Skill will keep me and my emotions separated. An keep my goals set as a women an for me to follow through with what ever I have to do .I must make sure that I am dependable . An to make sure all goes as planned.
Hi I’m Wesley. I’m 17years old. I am planning on building a hotel.The Hotel is called Havx Hotel. I have a Facebook page for it, but I was wondering if you could check it out.
My problem is that I run an online business all my clients are in different states so I rarely meet people in person. I need to find a way to start meeting people that are in my state so I can start building relationships. Just hitting up random people on LinkedIn seems like a spammy thing to do. Any advice for where I should start?
This was very helpful! Yesterday I identified a new goal and started research, so I'm on the right path! You are quite right that to realize you need a network is too late! My thanks to @Michael Whitehouse who sent the link to your video in his email list, and that's how I found you! I'll keep going--5-6 people feels doable.

What sort of relationship maps do you suggest? Thanks Andy!
Andrew can you make a video on references? For example when your former bosses refuse to give or be a reference due to company rules/laws? Thanks.
How can you text and resonate with people about our business without sounding salesy?
what is business networking really?
Great advice Andy! The topic of networking always reminds me of my favorite quote from you: "It's not what you know. It's not who you know. It's who knows what you know."
LOL. That is one of my favorite quotes of all time. :)

Best topic.. so need more about networking with others that you may need their services too. How it benefits your business as well.
The problem I'm running into is giving. Since I'm a young professional, I don't have a lot to give when I'm networking with older professionals in the industry I want to break into.
You always have something to give. You’re hard work is certainly one thing. Everyone has to start somewhere!!

Create value and give more than receive, how do I do that if I am just a second-year business school student with little experiences?
Hi Andrew, Thanks for the Amazing video, really enjoyed listening to this video. Was wondering if you have a sample (networking) template on your website.
Abdulrahman, great question. I actually don’t have free networking templates, but do offer these as part of my job search boot camp.
