Yesterday I gave you the secret to winning the Super Bowl as well as how My Drunk Aunt said she took a good hard look at herself.

Speaking of how she’s not going to do that again…

I was chatting with Dave this morning and here’s how our conversation went:

Me: How you doing?

Dangerous Dave: I didn’t sleep well last night so this morning I made myself tea with Red Bull rather than hot water.

Me: And?

Dangerous Dave: I was halfway to my first meeting when I realized I forgot my car.

Me:

In other news from my BCS podcast…

A person that doesn’t know how to communicate only knows how to argue.

Anyhoo…

Your one PROFIT ACCELERATION THING today is:

‘How to Fail at Networking’

High-end networking is a critical skill for the GOAT’s in business…

Networking will help you:

– Find prospects

– Find clients

– Find referral partners

– Find partners

– Find key relationships

– Find value

– Give value

– Learn

– Grow

– Think bigger

– Expand what’s possible for you

Here’s the key to sucking at it:

Be Boring.

It’s clinically proven that people don’t want to spend time with boring people… and when they do, they require compensation.

No sh*t…

… that’s an actual study.

KB, how do I not be boring, you ask?

Here are some creative high-level networking tips for you:

– Be authentic

– Use the frame ‘what can I GIVE’ versus what can I get

– Be genuinely curious

– Be genuinely interested

– Be interesting and entertaining (don’t over do it too quick)

– Don’t be overly weird

– Tell great stories you’ve practiced in private

– Provide interesting unknown facts

– Ask interesting questions

– Be Santa rather than The Grinch

– Be different

– Talk about your hobbies / interests / passions

– Talk about their hobbies / interests / passions

– Talk about popular current events in an interesting way (not a lame opinionated way which is French for ‘talking at them’)

– Know / understand macro topics

* My podcast is pretty crazy popular…

… I try to drop interesting material and have you say, “Wow, I’ve never heard it explained like that before”… “That’s an interesting perspective”… “I stopped and wrote down what you said.”

Before you meet someone at the next high-end networking event, have your points, ideas, metaphors, examples and stories ready.

BTW

1. A goal is something you can see, but a target is something you can hit.
2. Any dummy can expand your to-do list that was already too long… a real mentor can tell you what not to do.
3. As a high-end mentor, I show you where to look… but I don’t tell you what to see.
4. Everybody wants to change the world, but nobody wants to change the toilet paper.
5. I created a step-by-step paint-by-numbers operating system that can be installed into any business.

Hmmm…

You heard it here first.

Now, pick up the phone and go help someone.
