Good Evening Along the Network,

 

To quote Susan Cleary, Co-Chair, Downtown Gotham, we practice

"Natural Networking" Downtown Style. Thanks Susan for putting it so
eloquently. 

 

Forming relationships and sharing clients takes time and trust. A good rule
of thumb is that you have to already have the connection in place when you
need it. 

 

I try hard to be the "go to" person. Here's an example from yesterday that
achieved the goal today. 

 

About three years ago, I hosted a "Power Breakfast" for about ten people.
Some were Gotham members who didn't know each other, some were clIents. It
was a congenial hour and a half. It was a "thank you" to those involved. 

 

One of the lawyers who attended remembered meeting another Gotham lawyer
when he was trying to facilitate an interview for his former Legal
Secretary. 

 

I was the "go to" and my e-mail to the Partner at the interviewing firm was
forwarded to HR. Will she get the job?  No one knows. Does a warm intro and
rave reviews beat a cold intro?  We all know the answer to that. 

 

That's what I call "Natural Networking", Queenie style.  Thank you Susan for
coining the term. 

 

I will send a follow-up e-mail letting The Tribe know the outcome. 

 

Gothamly,

 

Queenie
