  • Summary

  • In this enlightening episode of Schmidt List, host Kurt Schmidt discusses networking with esteemed guest Mike Adams.

    Mike, an experienced sales and marketing professional, shares his insights and expertise on becoming a "super-connector"—a career path dedicated to facilitating valuable introductions.
    We explore the principles of intentional networking and the tools that make it effective, such as the IntroStars platform, which Mike is developing to help people monetize their networking skills. Mike outlines how being a superconnector can create more opportunities and provide substantial financial benefits.

    Listeners will gain practical tips on navigating networking events, framing oneself as a helper rather than a seller, and effective icebreakers to kickstart meaningful conversations. Mike also shares advice for introverts on making the most out of networking without feeling pressured.

    Kurt and Mike discuss the ethical dilemmas of spam and cold outreach, emphasizing the value of trusted relationships and manual efforts in lead generation. Mike’s perspective on using LinkedIn as a powerful tool for maintaining and managing professional relationships offers fresh, actionable insights.

    With stories from Mike’s 28-year career in major tech companies and his transformative journey from an introvert to a "Networking King" in London, this episode is packed with valuable lessons for anyone looking to enhance their networking strategy. Tune in to discover how networking can be a joyous and serendipitous journey contributing to personal and professional growth.
