I had heard about Christine Spray for about a year before I was able to schedule a one-on-one with her. She is a busy lady. Her reputation as a go-getter revenue generating wonder preceded her. I knew I needed to meet her and figure out what works for her and of that what I could implement. I couldn't have been more wrong that what she could teach me might be so limited.

I have since enjoyed a very good professional relationship with Christine and I have learned most from her actions. I am a man of talents and gifts to give, but I learned how I could give in a greater way.

Christine showed me the greatest compliment in that she showed me how to give by giving into my life. She introduced me and recommended me to those in her life who would be very good referrals sources, sources of actual revenue and connections that would get me exposure for speaking engagements and for my new book.

The greatest compliment you can give to a consummate networker and powerful center of influence like a Christine Spray is to introduce her to your network. Well, if that is a good lesson to learn for working with centers of influence, it is even more so for all of your network.

You are in a powerful position to make a huge impact in the lives of your networking partners.

In linkedin here are the steps:
  1. search for the person you want to introduce to your network
  2. view their profile
  3. find the forward link and click it.
  4. then like an email pick who you want to share it with and write an introduction.
  5. repeat. You can do something similar here. Decide to show your gratitude for others by making personal introductions today and every day for a month until it becomes a habit.
