7 Superpowers of Super-Connectors
Super-connectors have superpowers. They have the power to provide real benefits that make a difference. They give a gift of connectivity. And they consistently lead you toward potential opportunities. Especially for your business.
It’s beneficial and vital to have super-connectors in your networks and you must leverage relationships with them.
What Are Their Superpowers?
Super-connectors are superior networkers and the best in class within your network. These are the people who always take your call, value and respect your opinion, and consistently act as a resource in various ways, constantly creating exceptional relationships that make an impact.
They’re in the habit of collecting and bringing individuals together in the same way others collect stamps. They can be that person that holds the trust of a large group and has a means of reaching out to them directly.
What makes them so influential? Here are seven superpowers of a super-connector:
1: They assess your needs within minutes of meeting
Knowing the right way to begin a great conversation, one that is meaningful and what questions to ask helps them quickly determine what you’re in need of.
2: They act as an information broker
Understanding how to effectively gather details from different sources helps them swiftly determine how to provide solutions that benefit all parties.
3: They get the job done in one phone call
Given the powerful impact of their own networks and how well they nurture their relationships they always know who to reach out to and get results.
4: They provide superior benefits
Not just because of their realm of contacts but super-connectors offer high value through their skills, knowledge, and experiences. And they’re always open to learning from others too, which increases their own influence.
5: They make the ultimate connections
Goals are met faster because of their ability to quickly bring the right people together and establish the right relationships.
6: They are always in the right mindset
Their positive approach to building associations and bridging connections is not something they have to think about, a networking mindset comes naturally to them.
7: They are game-changers
They have superior relationship building skills and powerful networks. They are capable of always creating the right associations with just one introduction. They are your superstar connectors!
What Makes Them Elite Networkers?
A super-connector has an innate desire to get to know individuals on a deeper level and they’re really good at it. When most people meet someone new they think: “How can this person help me?”
But a super-connector will immediately think: “How can I be of value to them?”
Their skills and knowledge are highly valued and they hold the trust of many. They’re honest and genuine and authentic in their endeavours. And make a point to keep in regular contact with their networks and invest in the success of others.
Super-connectors consistently recognise when two people, or even groups, have something in common – and then facilitate proper introductions to connect them.
They’re the ones at the party who say, “If you don’t already know him, I would be happy to introduce you.”
That’s what makes them elite. Along with their superpowers.
But who exactly are they?
Of course, you may immediately think of CEOs, business leaders, or executive recruiters whose job it is to connect people. But think of everyone you interact with daily – restaurant owners, hairdressers, bookkeepers, your kid’s football coach – they can all be super-connectors.
These elite networkers share with you a common goal for success. And are extremely valuable and vital to have in your networks.
You must take the time to identify and recognise who the super-connectors are within your own spheres of influence so you know who the first person is that you would call – and get results.
