How to find people who can help you? !

Last time we talked about how to use circles to expand your network, but how can you find people who can really help you? ?There is an easter egg at the end~The actual battle is here

Simply speaking, it is divided into three steps: 1. Clarify the needs, 2. Search for the target, 3. Initial contact.

1. Clarify the needs

First of all, you have to know what you need the other party to do for you, or what resources to provide you, and what kind of person can meet your needs? At this time, there are four questions you can ask yourself: 1. What field are you looking for? 2. Who is interested in this matter? 3. Who have relevant experience before? 4. Where are these target groups most active?

2. Search for targets based on needs

Here are several platforms to find your targets. For example, the most common public platforms are Zhihu, Weibo and laymen. Workplace social platforms, such as Maimai and LinkedIn.

In Zhihu, you can find highly praised answers through targeted questions and answers, and read the other person’s articles and live courses to find out whether he is someone who matches your needs. On Weibo, you can quickly search for people through the search function, search for tags and keywords, and filter Weibo certification. In the industry, it is a paid platform for professionals in various fields. The goals are more precise, but you have to pay money in exchange. The biggest similarity between Maimai and LinkedIn is that you can find friends of friends as second or even third-degree connections through matching address books. The difference is that in Lingyin, there are more foreigners or employees of foreign companies and returnees, and there are very few people in general. There are such connections, so you need to find nodes on LinkedIn to gain 2nd degree connections.

Here is an introduction to the experts (not advertising?). Because they are highly professional and the fees are not cheap, many people have never been exposed to them. My first professional appointment was for financial consultation. Mr. Wang Fan, an independent investor, not only sorted out my financial status, but also made suggestions on my personal improvement and time management, and realized the protection Self-attention is more important! If you have certain abilities, you can also implement reverse invitation and become the person that the target group wants to meet!

3. How to make initial contact?

Give me an example? Let’s put it into practice~ For example, I am a photography enthusiast and want to meet and establish contact with a travel photographer. What should I do?

The first step is to understand the other party, both in terms of background and recent developments. I will first collect his recent public works and travel destinations he has visited. I learned that he is an independent travel photographer. He arranges travel destinations for a whole year in advance every year and selects the most suitable seasons for each place. , publish the itinerary online and take orders. We know that he is a person with great plans and clear goals. Traveling and shooting alone shows that he can endure hardships and has a free-spirited and unfettered personality. Florence is my favorite city for next year. In the process of understanding, you can find the contact information according to the method mentioned above! Can you add friends? Isn’t it weird!

The second step is to express your intention. Be concise and concise, take the initiative to introduce yourself and express your intention.

I will write like this for friend verification: Tongai Travel Photography likes your photography style very much. I have plans to go to Florence in April this year, and I would like to make an appointment with you for a photo shoot. Can you give me some advice then? Download my work?

The third step is to clarify the value, clarify the personal purpose or the value of this matter to him

After adding friends, first introduce yourself:

Very happy I can get to know you! I am Wheel, 24 years old, a traveling photography enthusiast who is still learning. I really like your way of working and photography style. Are you still available for the photography appointment in Florence this April? It would be great if I could make an appointment for your travel photography! I hope you can also point out my works by then! If you need it, I can also be your temporary assistant for your photography appointment in Florence, sharing the trivial matters with you during the travel and photography. I also have some small ideas of my own for photography, and I look forward to colliding with you to create interesting works~
