Successful people tend to hang out with a bunch of other successful people. If you possess the qualities and characteristics of what it takes to be successful, it is likely you will be attracted to and want to hang out with other people who share your values. If there is an influencer you would like to meet, odds are good that you know someone who knows someone who could introduce you. Personal introductions come with a much higher value than cold requests, so dedicate some time to figuring out who could connect you with the individual you are seeking. Be good to everyone and when you need a connection, you might be surprised who will come to your aid. Another great opportunity to connect with influential people is to ask them for interviews if you have a podcast or are writing an article or book. This can be a great way to offer an influencer value exchange for their time. Use LinkedIn. " When you become a premium member of LinkedIn , you get a set of five tokens called "In-mail” that allow you to send an email to as many as five people that aren’t immediately in your network. This can get spammy quickly, so be careful how you do it, but this can work quite well as a tactic for delivering a message, solution or interview request to someone when you don’t have his or her contact info.
Offer a solution. Going back to the LinkedIn methodology, when you reach out to someone for a connection that you do not know, it’s a good idea to prepare some kind of valuable solution you can provide them. James Altucher has a great system of doing this where he thinks up 10 business ideas or solutions that are truly well thought out, organized and prepared, then sends them to influencers he’d like to know better with no request or ask. " He just simply tees up the ideas and says they’re "yours to use if you want them.
Sometimes he will do it for months or years, continuously providing them with great ideas. The key to this technique is smart solutions that are relevant to your influencer and not asking for anything in return. Do something memorable and make a personal introduction, then follow up. Many of the key influencers in your local area, or even the national spotlight, offer mentorship or training programs. You will have way more face time with influencers by joining their programs and you will be showcasing your ideas, personality, and desire to be a part of their world. You just might meet other great influencers, too.
