i am sure you must have heard of Connector Maven Salesman Theory of Malcom Gladwell
a big problem in rolling out a New Soc Nw is to find out These Connector and maven . with this service any entrepreneur should be able to find connectors at least and lure them to
new Nw. thus bringing some of his Perosonal network too .

It can actually a good tool if you look at it that way .

Absolutely great line.
When I was reading the post I was thinking to myself the perceived value has NO value because these people have trusted you with their “identity”. That said a great mental masturbation exericse.

Happy Thanksgiving!
