[MUSIC] Bob, in your book you also talk about the difference between levels of net weaving and hosting net weaving meetings, what are the basic elements of net weaving levels and hosting meanings? >> Well this one ties almost exclusively to the first skill set of being a connector of others. Imagine now that you and I are once again in that same big meeting room, and I spot someone across the room who I think, Dan would really benefit meeting Mary Jones. So I grab you by the hand and pull you over and introduce you. And I say Mary, this is Dan Stotts, and I think the two of you would really benefit getting to know each other. Why don't you exchange business cards and then see if you can get together sometime? Now that's what we call a level one introduction. And it could be on the telephone or even on the internet. All I'm doing is loaning my good name, leaving everything up to you. Level two is like level one, except now I'm saying I'll tell you what Dan, I'm going to have Mary send me her bio and her CD and I'll send that to you a long with the little reason as to why I think the two of you would benefit meeting each other. The third level is one and two the same two elements but, adding you know what let me make a phone calls. See if I can get Mary on the phone right now, and I'll make that introduction to add a little bit more about you. It's easier for me to brag about you than it is for you to brag about yourself. But those three levels are something that people can do as net weavers without having to go to the next level, because the next level takes a little more courage, takes a little chutzpah, okay. And that is that you're actually going to call up, or you're going to email, and you're going to actually set up a meeting that you will host. And you're introducing two people who you think would benefit meeting each other. But you're not only doing it, you're facilitating the meeting, in a way that's going to maximize the chances that the two of them will find ways to help each other, and also discover people that they know in common that they never would have guessed, if you hadn't made that introduction. So level four is actually, though, I'm connecting people that I already know. In many cases they're friends, they're business associates, they're people within my own company. So that's level four, where you're making introductions and hosting meetings at your own peer level. But several months ago, in fact, it may have been a year, I meet a lady name Judy Robinett, who wrote a book called How to Be a Power Connector. And this lady started out as a social worker and then after a few years of that, decided the world wasn't ready to be saved. And she went to work as, in HR for a larger Fortune 500 company, and over time she saw how power works within companies, especially larger companies. And what she started doing was net weaving, without having a word for it because what she started doing was setting up meetings for persons within her company that would benefit meeting each other. And guess what? Slowly but surely, she was making connections with people far above her own peer level. So level five is this idea that you read an article, you read a book by an author, you have a friend who's in that same specialty industry or business and you make that connection. And people say, gee, I wonder if they'll ever accept my phone call. Well, you know my don't need to read the book, book club, I'm now in my 47th book of some of the most famous business authors. In the country, Dan Pink, Adam Grant, Steven M R Cuvy and many, many others, I have only been turned down once and that was actually by a publisher and not by the author himself. So that's the levels of net weaving, and people can determine what level they want to either start out at and keep growing as they get more and more confidence, or stay there and simply be satisfied with just introducing people or simply finding ways to help them.
