The power of the Network

The greatest gift that we have is the ability to network! We all have the ability to shake some one's hand and ask if they are, or someone they know, are in the market for XYZ, with XYZ being anything from a product or a person. Reaching out and asking is the key. The worst thing that can happen if we ask is that they so NO! But what would they say if we don't ask? At least we increase the odds and provide us a 50/50 chance of a YES!!! But what if they say no? that is when the power of the network takes over, simply say "I understand that you are not interested in XYZ, do you happen to know anyone that might be interested?" Increasing your opportunities for success even more so!
