Your Networking Circle: Multipliers

A useful exercise that everyone should carry out on an annual basis is an analysis of their network, by identifying the circle of contacts around them. To do this we use our Networking Circle worksheet (you can download your copy for free by signing up to our mailing list).

• Step 1: Download and print the NC worksheet
• Step 2: Write your name in the centre circle.
• Step 3: Write the names of people in the next circles working outwards grouping them in categories.

If you haven’t already review your networking circle and note the multipliers in your network.

Look for individuals who have a strong network and are able to generate value from their connections. These might be people who are well-connected within your industry, or who have a reputation for bringing people together and creating opportunities.

Once you have created your list, you can use this to identify any follow up steps that you want to take with any of these people. Take the time to build relationships with potential multipliers.
