Support Exchange Model

What are the ways you can support someone in a network? In Networlding we say it is more than just exchanging leads and referrals. When Gladwell wrote The Tipping Pointhe emphasized the concept of "a connector," "a persuader" and "a maven." Each type of networker adds to the collective concept of networker.

In Networlding we have seen that there are some people who hold all three attributes of being a great connector or somone who is very wise or someone who is very persuasive. The explosion of online networking has helped even further to bring out networkers who have stellar skills in all three of these areas.
