12 Keys to Successful Networking and Recruitment

By: Henry Judy
Lead Pastor: Life Point Church


What I came up with is a combination of 12 “Keys”, that help me create a method of attracting people to the launch team. These 12 keys are pulled together from a variety of sources over time but here they are organized.

1. Remember: You are on a God Hunt. You are looking for the people God wants to partner with you.

2.
Never say or do anything that will tarnish the “Image of the Desired Future.”


3. Always have two or three “next steps” for this person in your mind before you begin the conversation.


4. Always Listen for Agenda Harmony


5. Remember: You are in Sales


6. Attempt to keep the conversation on “YES” rather than “NO” statements


7. Explore the level of commitment by moving from safe to unsafe territory. Once you have found the unsafe territory, retreat one step back into safety.

8. Ask meaningful questions that communicate you respect this person.


9. Always ask for the person to go the next step in commitment before leaving a conversation


10. Always ask for the names of two or three other people before leaving a conversation

11. Use a contact management system – preferable index cards rather than computer


12: Remember it is a numbers game
