Networking with highly influential and successful people requires a strategic and value-driven approach. Here are some key strategies to help you build connections with them:
1. Develop a Strong Personal Brand
- Be known for something valuable (expertise, unique insights, or achievements).
- Share high-quality content on platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, or your blog (like Bharat Global Time).
- Engage with their content by commenting, sharing, and adding meaningful insights.
2. Offer Value First
- Instead of asking for favors, find ways to help them.
- Provide relevant information, insights, or services that align with their interests.
- Introduce them to valuable contacts within your network.
3. Leverage Social Media & Online Communities
- Follow their work and interact genuinely on platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, or Clubhouse.
- Join exclusive communities (Facebook groups, Telegram channels, or paid memberships) where they engage.
- Participate in discussions and contribute meaningfully.
4. Attend Exclusive Events & Conferences
- Invest in attending high-profile networking events, summits, and private meetups.
- Prepare an elevator pitch to introduce yourself concisely.
- Focus on meaningful conversations instead of trying to meet everyone.
5. Utilize Warm Introductions
- Use mutual connections to get introduced.
- Ask for referrals from people in your existing network.
- Build relationships with their close associates first.
6. Create Content That Attracts Them
- Write about topics they care about on your blog (e.g., Bharat Global Time).
- Interview them for your platform—most successful people love media exposure.
- Tag them in valuable insights, but avoid spammy behavior.
7. Be Consistent and Patient
- Relationships with influential people take time to build.
- Follow up after meetings with a short, valuable message.
- Stay on their radar through continuous engagement.
