On this episode of Modern American Realtor, Casey and Corey Wright share their favorite hacks and strategies for world class social networking. This episode provides valuable insight into growing a network, and leveraging the personal and professional benefit it provides. Additionally, the discussion explores the importance of a memorable impression and how to develop deep and meaningful interactions with everyone you meet.
An essential step in building a rock solid network is establishing deep intrinsic value from all relationships. Shifting contacts from acquaintances to close friends can have a profound impact on the value of your network. Simple approaches such as contacting friends prior to their birthdays demonstrates appreciation for the relationship. Additionally, identifying the most intimate communication channel, such as direct message as opposed to work emails, will help to establish a higher level of rapport. When reconnecting with long term or distant acquaintances, Corey suggests utilizing Facebook as a way to brush up on background information which can you utilize for talking points during conversations.
Group engagements are an excellent avenue for capitalizing on network growth opportunities. Prioritizing group events over individual interactions offers the ability to connect with a wide range of new contacts in a variety of settings. Casey shares his approach for creating micro experiences during group events, as a way to maximize individual connections to build memorable rapport. Additionally, creating social triads by introducing like minded friends can serve to strengthen and add value to a network.
It is undoubtedly advantageous to leave a memorable impression after every interaction. Corey is often associated with his love of the San Francisco Giants, while Casey is known for taking his dog Titan with him everywhere he goes. Having identifiable idiosyncrasies such as these is a simple way to become memorable among social peers. Additionally, providing an interesting response to the common question of “what’s new?” will enable you to stand out and remain memorable within a group.
