Contact Mapping philosophy

Superconnectors

“I’m thinking about buying a condo up in the mountains”.

“I know somebody you need to meet”.

What is a Superconnector?

Becoming a superconnector means that you will be your contacts’ go-to person when they need anything.

How do I become a Superconnector?

As humans, we are always trying to help our friends; it feels great when someone mentions they need help with an issue; and you know just the person to help them!
When we offer this kind of help, our friends readily accept it and thank us because we are clearly helping without an agenda. If I work in real estate but refer you to a friend in IT services, clearly I’m doing it only to help you… not because there is something in it for me. Doing this makes us feel great and it strengthens our relationships.
“My son is trying to get into college at Carnegie Mellon”.

“I know somebody you need to meet”.

What is the benefit?

For your own business — you’ll learn to no longer be that one dimensional person who is only interested when something is immediately in it for you.
You’ll find that the person who seemed to have no interest in your business today will come back around again as you continue to cross paths and you show that you care about what they care about, not just your own agenda.

“My office’s computer network keeps breaking and the support vendor is a nightmare!”.

“I know somebody you need to meet”.

If you have your living database there at the ready, when someone has a problem and asks if you “know a guy”, instead of answering “not sure”, it’s as simple as a few keyboard taps to make a big difference to them.
You will be amazed at the power of your connections. And the beauty is, everybody wins!
“[…By introducing them…] I made a difference in two people lives”

The coffe shop interview

When was the last time you had a conversation with someone and felt a genuine connection?

True connections seem harder and harder to achieve these days because so many people are too busy trying to sound impressive, or they only want to know what you can do for them.

He discovered the life-changing power of putting others’ agendas first in conversation to ultimately create wins for everyone involved.

 

Tom has distilled that secret weapon into The Coffee Shop Interview. He uses it to build stronger relationships and broaden his circle of influence.
