Networking: The Scientific and Data-Driven Manual to Building Contacts – And Turning Contacts into Actual Offers
The problem is: How do you build a network and contacts (if you don’t have a strong network) – and more importantly, how do you actually turn these contacts into REAL OFFERS?
When most people network, it’s one of the biggest waste of time because it doesn’t yield any offers they actually want. However, when executed correctly, it can be one of the largest proprietary advantages you can have.
We’ve worked with endless amounts of people who’ve all gone through the same exact problem. They go to recruiting events, networking events, reach out to alumni contacts, friends, etc. and end up having call after call, coffee after coffee – but those calls/coffees never turn into what they really want, which are OFFERS.
Understanding the natural, non-sleazy, and highly effective approach to turning contacts into actual offers is one of the most important advantages in landing highly competitive offers against other candidates, especially if they went to better schools, got better GPAs, or worked at better firms/companies.
But it is also the most misunderstood.
So instead of having a bunch of conversations that you think went well, but ultimately never materialized into interviews or offers - you will learn WHY THIS HAPPENS and HOW TO SOLVE IT from a psychological, strategic, and scientific perspective.
What you will learn is the following:
1) How to set yourself up to win the offer before you even interview, so that an interview becomes just a formality
2) 5 unfair competitive advantages of networking to easily beat out stronger and more qualified candidates
3) The strategic process of moving from first contact to an offer letter
