How it works
Answer 15 questions - they're all multiple choice - to see how likely it is that your network is going to refer you business opportunities.
You'll answer questions across the four key areas needed to build networking success:
Mindset, Relationships, Targets and Results.
Note that for some questions, there may be more than one answer that is right for you - so just select the one that best fits.
Your scores will then be aggregated to give your overall networking success readiness score.
Mindset
Whatever your experience of networking is, understanding why it's important in your business, and what is possible is the foundational step to networking success.
Are you clear what networking really is?
Relationships
The cornerstone of networking is building meaningful relationships. Whether meeting new contacts or reconnecting with your existing connections, building good relationships is key.
How well do you know your network?
Targets
Be targeted in your networking, and the results will come in. Leave it to chance... well you know what will happen.
How targeted is your networking?
Results
That's why you go networking in the first place. There has to be a return on your time and money invested.
Are you generating networking results and tracking them effectively?
