When we studied 165 lawyers at a large North American law firm, for example, we found that their success depended on their ability to network effectively both internally (to get themselves assigned to choice clients) and externally (to bring business into the firm). Those who regarded these activities as distasteful and avoided them had fewer billable hours than their peers.
In today’s post, I will be sharing one of the most powerful methods for networking with people. Use this to skip the awkward small talk at networking events, directly establish deeper personal connections, and meet some awesome people. I use this modality for networking a lot, and it works even with my nomadic lifestyle.

Thus, from a networking perspective, this modality hits all the right boxes-

It will allow you to establish relationships quickly.
It’s time efficient.
And you will feel good about it.
