Networking > How To Meet Somebody Famous

  • Target them!
  • Draw concentric circles that describe their network, move from the outside in
  • "Draft" off of your brand! (In my case, Marshall)
  • Have multiple mentors
  • Warm the cold call -- find someone between you and your next phone call to drop your name in first
  • If you can promise something, then cold call
  • Do your homework and bring it up when you talk
  • Get past the gatekeeper
    • If you get a passive response from he boss then use it
    • Use the "warming" person's name
  • Trade contacts
