Networking and Informational Interview Builder
10 contacts, 3 conversations, one system
Networking feels awkward until you have a system. This skill identifies 10 contacts, drafts cold and warm outreach messages, prepares a question set for informational interviews, and tracks everything so follow-ups don't fall through.
INGREDIENTS

Include a simple tracker with weekly goals. Keep it professional and respectful.
