You listen and build a relationship with your connection, And wait for it to pay off. You give advice, recommendations, or introductions to your connections to help them out. You keep doing this over and over without seeing the payoff, But, finally, your network brings you opportunity. And it's exactly what you were hoping for. A lot of people can't wait. They can't see that delaying their gratification will help them more in the long run. They ask their network for help right out of the gate without offering anything in advance of the ask.

Or you can hold out, keep making connections, keep building relationships, keeping giving to your connections, and keep believing the big opportunities will come your way. I know it can be hard, but if you keep doing the right things over time, You're payoff will be much bigger. I'm Greg, The Introverted Networker!
