Connecting with others, from colleagues to gatekeepers to your buyers, is at the foundation of a successful business. In our internet-based businesses, it's increasingly easy to connect shallowly – liking a post, favoriting a tweet, following or friending – but you gotta get deeper than that, to build real working relationships. I write and speak a lot about building those relationships with your buyers, but how do you connect in a meaningful way with your colleagues and gatekeepers (editors, publishers, etc)?  Especially if you're an introvert?

In this episode we'll talk about: 

  • How to reach out in a non-icky way to those you want to connect with
  • How to follow up without feeling like a loser
  • How to fit this connection into your week so it doesn't suck up all your energy
