Red Flags for a Connection
In this follow-up to my previous blog about my process for connecting people, I share what I consider to be red flags in terms of making a connection between two people. The biggest one is having no history or relationship with the person asking for an introduction to someone I know. Watch this video to learn about my red flags.
My recommendation is to remember to protect your reputation and only refer people that you have vetted. Trust takes years to build and seconds to lose.
Do you have some red flags that you look for when you are asked to make an introduction to somebody? I would like to know. Thanks for sharing in the comments.
The red flag, I like to look for is when they say introduce me to anyone who. That tells me that they have not really strategically looked at their book of business and decided who their customer is and then drilled that down to see whom specifically they like to be introduced to? So a red flag is definitely when they are or appear to be throwing darts to see what sticks.
