Are you a B2B founder whose business relationships feel transactional rather than transformational? In this episode of Simple Wins, we sit down with connectivity expert David Homan, co-author of Orchestrating Connection, to show you how to move from quick wins to long-term success by focusing on trust-based networking.
David shares why chasing the deal is a recipe for failure and how leading with genuine value creates an "imprint" that turns contacts into lifelong champions and advocates for your business. He’ll change the way you think about building your network by emphasizing the power of vulnerability, empathy, and gratitude.
You will learn the secrets to building relationships that sustain you through any market downturn:
Vulnerability as Value: Discover how opening up with discretion can immediately establish trust and differentiate you from the transactional crowd.
Breaking the Lead Cycle: Understand how to view people as bonds, not merely leads in a pipeline, and why this is the only way to genuinely accelerate your growth.
Maintaining Connection: Learn the mistake of scheduled check-ins and instead discover a more natural, relevant way to strengthen the bond after the first meeting.
The Power of Gratitude: Master the counterintuitive trade secret of asking for consent and showing gratitude before making an ask to maximize the chances of serendipitous opportunities.
David Homan is a composer, connector, and strategist focused on orchestrating connection at the speed of trust for a global network of prominent executives and artists.
