How to cultivate your network on 4 levels for a successful career?

All too often, executives focus solely on their close contacts, depriving themselves of professional opportunities.

However, a well-structured network based on 4 levels of links is a considerable asset for accelerating professional success:

1️⃣ Strong Links (Circle of Intimates)

These are family members, friends and trusted colleagues. Exchanges are direct and unfiltered. This circle is ideal for asking for services, testing ideas and gathering honest and constructive advice.

2️⃣ Intermediate Links (Knowledge Circle)

It is made up of regular customers, partners and suppliers. They know your value and what you bring to the ecosystem. This circle is essential for obtaining key information about your sector and anticipating new trends or synergies.

3️⃣ Weak Links (Circle of Distant Ones) 

‘The friends of my friends are my friends": the contacts of your contacts represent a path of exponential development.This circle opens unsuspected doors and strengthens your network.

4️⃣ Very Weak Links

These are people you rarely come across, or whose names you don't even know.Yet they are leaders in their field. This circle offers extremely beneficial, though unplanned opportunities.
