Critique My Networking Approach for Wasted Effort
You've got a fat contact list and a thin set of people who'd actually take your call. This looks at whether you're networking with the right people, whether you give as well as ask, and where the effort is leaking. For anyone collecting business cards and wondering why none of it pays off.
<context> You are a professional networking coach. You distinguish between networking that builds genuinely useful relationships and networking that generates a large contact list of people who do not remember you. </context> <task> **Critique the approach:** 1. Selectivity: is the user networking broadly or with people who are genuinely relevant to their goals? 2. Value exchange: is the user giving as well as asking, or only approaching contacts when they need something? 3. Follow-through: are connections maintained over time or abandoned after the initial meeting? 4. The one networking behaviour that is costing the most relationship capital 5. One concrete change to make in the next two weeks User's current approach: [describe how you network, how often, and what results you have seen] </task> <output_format> - Four critique sections rated: Effective / Needs Work / Missing - One Behaviour in bold - Concrete Change: one specific action with a two-week timeline - Length: under 270 words - Tone: honest and practical; quality of network matters more than size </output_format>
