It is amazing how much you can network by simply paying attention. For a second, let's just look at one, of the literally hundreds, examples: Daily Newspapers. Your daily newspaper is full of potential networking leads every single day. But most are too lazy or not inspired to take advantage of it.
I work a ton in the real estate market. How much business could a real estate agent get by simply paying attention? MORE THAN THEY COULD HANDLE! For example, let's look at today's newspaper in Austin TX...and I am just looking at it for the first time (so this is not rehearsed). In the Life section is an article on a fashion designer moving to the Austin area. What if a real estate agent sent a handwritten note and a copy of the article saying something like this:
- "Congratulations on your successful business! Welcome to Austin. I am in the real estate business and if I can ever help, please let me know. I look forward to hearing about your continued success!"
How do you think this person would re-act? I know the answer....WOW!
One example of just paying attention can make huge differences! Simply paying attention in both life and the marketplace can move mountains for you!
