⚡ NETWORKING INSIGHTS ⚡

Every profession has trigger words to listen for.

Trigger words are short phrases that should make you think of someone in the room, like:

"They let me go." (think employment attorney)
"Our assessment went up." (think property tax consultant)
"Our site got hacked." (think web specialist)
"We need a bigger home." (think real estate agent)

When you know yours and learn everyone else's, you become the best referral partner in the room.

What are your trigger words?
