Pillar 2
Content
Content is how you stay in touch. Turn every event and conversation into audio, video, text, or graphics that keep your name in front of the right people — so you show up as a resource, not just an attendee.
The Local Business Networking Method
Four pillars. One system.
Find who you want in your network, participate deeply in a few organizations while scanning the wider universe of events for the rooms that matter, and stay in touch with content that keeps every relationship warm.
Pillar 1
People
Get clear on exactly who you want in your network — before you walk into any room. Define your ideal connection by role, organization, and the events they already attend.
Pillar 3
Participation
Participate narrow, scan wide: go deep as an active participant in three or four organizations — a local chamber, a trade association — while always scanning the wider universe of events for the rooms that matter most. Don’t get stuck inside your own clubs; show up at outside events when your people will be there. Advance through four stages — Select → Engage → Lead → Build (Choose → Show up → Step up → Build your own rooms).
Pillar 4
Relationships
Use your content to stay in touch with everyone you meet — consistently, not occasionally. Build the systems that keep your network warm across email, social, and your own events.
