Four years ago, we would invite many well-known entrepreneurs in Laizhou to do activities at that time, such as Li Denghai, Li Dong, Li Junhe, and Zhang Zhongyan. But our entire department is just the staff of that event, and we rarely have access to them as entrepreneurs, and even if we do, it is impossible to speak. We are just maintaining order at the event, how will we use to contact the big guy at that time?

At the event site, in addition to maintaining order, the people in our department are also responsible for reception, so some bigwigs will be received by us first, and then we will introduce them to other bigwigs. We'll talk to them first, talk about some common topics, and then introduce them to each other. Of course, we were just small people at that time, and the bigwigs wouldn't have any special interest in us, but they would remember us and contact us when they had the chance.

When I know what guests will come the next day, I will write a letter to my admiration for each other, and then write down the mood of the other party's eagerness to communicate, and then write my contact information. So, I think it's a way to connect with the big guys. Another way to do this is to connect with the bigwigs through social media. We will follow their social media accounts such as Weibo and WeChat official accounts, and then leave comments, likes, retweets, etc., so that we can also establish links with them.

In our work, if we can often prepare some small gifts, it may make the other party pay more attention to you, and it may make the other party think that you can do things and be polite. I have worked with some bigwigs in the industry association for a while, and the association often organizes some forums, and in front of the forum there will be many heads of prominent or very well-known enterprises. When we used to participate in the forum, the people behind us would find an opportunity to go to the front row to change their business cards one by one before the opening, to put it mildly, I did the same, but then I found out that after changing the business card, it doesn't mean that you have obtained this resource, nor does it mean that you can link with the other party. After changing the business card, you still have to call and greet, but often the phone is basically unreachable, and the more powerful the person, his own mobile phone number is not left on it, and what is left is either the assistant or the phone number of other responsible persons.

At that time, I was thinking, how can I quickly connect with the other person in a second? At that time, I spent six or seven hundred dollars on a second-hand camera. Then, I will take this camera to the forum, and I will take a picture of the guest when he is seated; Then the guest came to the stage to speak, and I also took pictures of him, and it was not like now, and there was a strict on-site personnel review. None of the staff at the scene knew who the photographer was, and after taking the photo, I would directly ask the other party for contact information, and I said, "Can you give me an email address or business account, I am also a participant, but I am a photography enthusiast, I will send you to the mailbox."

At this time, something very interesting will happen, the guests attending the meeting, not only will give you an email address, but also ask for your contact information. Because, the other party also wanted photos of this event, and later I realized that I wanted to send photos to the other party, and then my company information was also sent, and the contact information was also left behind, but no one would take the initiative to contact me.

I think this method is still not intuitive enough, and it needs to be iterated, what should I do? Don't send the photo, get the business card, confirm with the other party that this address can find him, and then tell the other party that the network speed is slow, you can't send it, take the USB drive and copy it to you. In this way, a meeting is created, an opportunity is created, and in this way, the general managers of two large enterprises are linked.

Link this thing, you have to serve others first, first to provide value to others, or even do things that others have not thought of, to provide added value to the other party, then the link will become relatively easy.

It will be much easier for him to owe you a favor first, and then you will ask someone to help you with something. I think that interpersonal relationships should create more opportunities and intersections through more exchanges and interactions, so that interpersonal relationships can be further developed.

Then some book friends will ask, after establishing an initial contact, how to maintain a long-term link with the bigwigs?

First, keep providing them with valuable information and resources. For example, you can regularly send them the latest developments in the industry, policy changes, market trends, etc., which can help them better understand the industry situation and make more informed decisions. At the same time, you can also provide some resources that are useful to them, such as talent, technology, funding, etc., which can help them better develop their business.

Second, keep in constant communication and exchange with them. You can reach out to them regularly to ask them about their work and life and share your experiences and insights. In communication, you can try to find some common ground and hobbies, so that you can better connect and communicate. Remember to respect their time and privacy. The bigwigs are usually very busy, so don't bother them too often. When contacting them, be sure to respect their time and privacy, and don't send too many messages and emails to avoid causing them unnecessary distress and stress.

Building links with bigwigs requires patience and perseverance, but as long as you can provide valuable information and resources, maintain communication and exchanges, and respect their time and privacy, you will be able to build long-term links and relationships with them.
