Grow your network in the next 72h

Here is how you can build your network of top executives, VCs or mentors.

I’ll show you how I reach out to people to get what I want in life.

TLDR: You send them a video that you want to send them a book, as a gift.
I’m not an expert on this, but it worked for me.

STEP 1. Pick a good book that you like (and it's relevant)

I was doing this a lot once the WFH thing hit so I picked: “18 minutes: Find your focus, master distractions and get the right things done” by Peter Bergman.

STEP 2. Record a video

Full video below, but the script went like this:

“Your net worth is your network so I’m building a network of cool people in Europe. And as a start, I want to send you this book for free. Let me know what the best address to ship it to.”

Rember: Make it less than 60 secs or so.

Use your phone and @loom to record videos because you have a better camera and mic there. Plus if you’re moving it’s more engaging.

Bonus tip: put a sticky note on the book and show it near your face in the first sec of your video. So they will be intrigued to watch it.

STEP 3. Send a cold email with video inside

Send a normal cold email like you normally would. The text inside should be super simple like:

SUBJECT: reason for contact
BODY: "Hey Name, made this quick video for you explaining my reason for contact."

STEP 4. Send the book

So what to do when they respond? You set them a book from amazon to their address.

Then you can wait a week to maybe chat about the book. And BOOM you’re making friends.

I did that with a few folks and it turned out to be awesome.

This is a guaranteed way for you to stand out in your “potential friend’s” inbox.
