How do we find people to guide us along our careers when we’re now so dispersed all over the world? Should we go for a mentor, a coach, an advisor, or even a sponsor? What’s the difference between these four things? It’s so easy to fall into these “entrepreneurial-get-rich-quick” schemes that just seem spammy and too good to be true. The truth is, the best networks are often closed-doors and heavily guarded. So, how can an outsider break through and level up their network? Trip, Anna, and Larry discuss in this week’s episode! Key Takeaways Let’s talk about mentorship today! The word ‘mentorship’ can get a bit fuzzy. Trip defines what mentorship means to him. What’s the difference between mentorship vs. coaching vs. an advisor vs. sponsorship? Anna breaks down each of these key areas. Larry has always been seen as a father figure in a lot of the places he’s worked at because he will give advice that might not be in the best interest of the company. Do men and women network differently? Anna shares some of her thoughts. The women Trip has coached, he has had to help them redefine using “helper” language vs. “leadership” language. For women, it’s very easy to join women-only groups, but there are downsides to this. Anna shares why you need to network with everyone. The biggest mistake people make is that they tend to form a network that they’re comfortable with. A lot of people don’t feel comfortable reaching out to super senior people or people who are very advanced in their careers. Anna suggests writing down a list of strengths and achievements that you’ve done in your field so that when you approach these “superstars,” you see them as peers from a different industry. How do you find a mentor and how do you do it the right way? Want to build a connection that’s “out of your reach”? Put in the work. Read their materials and have something intelligent to say about it. Larry hates when people try to use Larry as a middle man to jump into more of his “big fish” networks. Larry isn’t going to recommend a stranger to his trusted networks. How can people find these “closed-door” networks of people? Uplevel your network. It’s the key to your success and to get that career advancement that you want. Anna struggled a lot to find these “closed-door” networks. However, she was proactive in making connections from afar. Things really changed for her a year-and-a-half ago when she read, How to Be a Power Connector.

Many sellers overlook fundamental selling principles, but salespeople must learn the importance of a strategic network for business and career success in order to become proficient in our jobs.  Judy Robinett is an advisor to Springboard, an incubator that helps women founders, with great statistics of 19 IPOs and 165 strategic sells. Judy loves educating people and meeting entrepreneurs and helping them with connections.  She wrote the book, How to Be a Power Connector, a bestseller in 2014, and she recently published another book called Crack the Funding Code: How Investors Think and What They Need to Hear to Fund Your Startup. It's a book that tells us how investors think and what they need to hear to fund your startup.  The beginning Judy worked as a social worker but she didn't stop there. She explored her options and opportunities after making some bad decisions like starting her own franchise restaurant. In time, her business failed and she had to sell it.  She worked with a then-unknown company called Skullcandy® when they were broke and had a quarter of a million dollars in revenue. She helped the company build its credibility and bring its revenue up again. That fueled her interest in startups and she became an investor herself. Fast forward to now, she's a managing director at Golden Seeds.  Crack the funding code Many great entrepreneurs in the U.S. don't understand the facts. For one, there's no lack of money. In fact, there's $318 trillion of private global wealth. These entrepreneurs don't understand the players: there's private equity that are all investing into startups as well as the sovereign wealth funds that manage 10% of the global GDP.  The book Crack the Funding Code is an easy-to-follow roadmap on how to find and pitch investors. The book's appendix has term sheets, actual pitch decks, and other relevant research information. It is a book that will educate entrepreneurs because these people can change the world.  Lessons in mistakes Entrepreneurs take calculated risks. Along the way, missteps create lessons waiting to be learned. Judy's bankruptcy lawyer said of her failed franchise restaurant, “They can break you but they can't eat you.”  Judy learned to kick fear to the curb and understand that there's no lack of resources in the world because resources are connected to human beings. It is true that sales are critical in finding and catching investors. It's also important in catching the customers. Entrepreneurs must learn to navigate in their mistakes.  They need to figure out how to get investors to figure out how to find customers.  If you can't figure out how to find a venture capitalist, you can't figure out how to find a customer. #investors Funding mindset  Howard Stevenson, known as the Lion of Entrepreneurism at Harvard, wrote a book on how to be an angel investor. His book talked about how you can set yourself apart from everybody else. In order to be perceived as a high-potential startup: Be clear on your exit strategy and the comparables because investors want to get their money back.  Mitigate risks as viewed by the investors.  It is good for startups to put high-powered people in their advisory board to help build their credibility, especially if the CEO hasn't done a startup before. In the VC investing world, people talk about adult supervision. This is critical because you want to have reliable people in your team with deep industry expertise who can open doors to money, media, and other resources that you might need.  Getting investors is more than just being good and being able to produce something.  One of the most common mistakes entrepreneurs do in their pitches is the way they focus on technology and explain the details at length. Investors, however, care less about that. Harvard researchers found that the average amount of time people spend looking at a particular slide is 11 seconds. Financial slides, however, get 23 seconds worth of attention. Investors look for a team that can execute to a big enough market, the total addressable market (TAM).  Three C's Arthur Rock was the first venture capitalist who started the industry in Silicon Valley. He said that if somebody comes to him with a B product but with an A team or an A product but with a B team, he'd always go for the A-team. This means that investors invest in the team that can execute.  So, the first C is you need to be coachable. We all have that blindspot of not knowing what we don't know. It's important to come across as coachable rather than arrogant. If somebody asks you about something that you don't know, then be upfront and tell that person that you'll get back to him. Then ask for help to show that you are coachable.  The second one is having a level of confidence. You are selling your concept, your company, and how you're going to grow it to the investors so a level of confidence is important.  The third one is character. Howard Stevenson said in his book that when he hears an exaggeration or half-truth, he runs away instead of walking so that he won't lose money. Investors have a way of looking at your character in a substantial way.  Be coachable  The moment we say that we don't need more information is the moment that we stop growing. When we stop learning and stop being coached, we also stop progressing and growing.  A sales rep who has been selling for 10 years and who stops reading books about sales is stuck in the same way that an entrepreneur who stops needing advice is stuck.  Businesses fall short because entrepreneurs stop growing and because they don't have a board of advisers to tell them the truth or advise them what to do.   CB Insights did a post mortem of 101 startups and one of the problems they found was the inability to learn and pivot. Clayton Christiansen, an expert on innovation at Harvard, said that 75% of startups pivot. Viagra didn't start out being used the way it's used today, but the nurses noticed a side-effect. Everybody must be in an exploration of finding out what you don't know because that's where growth happens.  The obstacle is a gift. Run to your obstacle much like David running toward Goliath. Understand that every time you have a vision, Goliath shows up so you must master how to learn and pivot.  There are two words that mean fear: the first refers to being terrified, and the second is the sense of awe and wonder. This happens when you step out of your comfort zone.  You need to reframe your fear and deal with it.  Network your way to the right investors  It is critical to be in the right room. Judy met a founder who was trying to get investors in Salt Lake City for her company but she was in the wrong room because she wasn't Mormon and she was a woman. Judy took her to Boston and San Francisco where she closed deals and then sold her company for millions There are specific groups of investors. First, you start with your family, then your friends, then your credit cards, and you move up to the angel investor, the seed round. There are 400 angel groups in the U.S. and $317 trillion in private global wealth. There is no lack of money here. There's also the governmental fund, the sovereign wealth fund. It is important that you know which group to go to.  You can find them via searching in Google, by going to pitch events, or by asking top lawyers and bankers who work with startups.  Do not forget to ask them the two golden questions:  What other ideas do you have for me? Who else do you know that I should talk to? On average, people know between 600 and 1,000 people. You don't have to know tons of people; you need the right people to get in the right room.  Another good way to build your network is to find your way to private curated events and talk to people.  Let them know what you do. You can also ask them their opinion and who they know that you ought to be talking to as well. You'd be surprised at the number of people who are happy to help but you need to learn to ask.  This is particularly difficult if you are from the lower to middle class where you're taught to keep your head down, get a degree, work hard, and don't ask for help because people would notice. In truth, people do not notice.  According to research in Denmark, 5% of people in any corporation or organization are the true influencers and power brokers. Those are the people that you need to get to know. Delivering a compelling pitch You need a concise, compelling narrative. Dick Wilson, a VC who has had $1billion exit every year for the past five years, was asked how to create a compelling pitch. He said that it's important to be concise, be compelling, and have passion.  You want to get to the second date so don't spill all the details or all the financials because your job is to get those people to be interested in you and start doing due diligence. John Livesay, also known as Pitch Deck Guru, is a great man who can help you out with your compelling stories. Research often suggests that the majority of startups fail but that data is inaccurate. Hard research shows that about 50 percent fail because the owners aren't willing to learn.  Reasons startups fail Phil Graham, one of the Y Combinator founders, said that there are two reasons why startups fail: lack of customers  lack of sales  One of the Dropbox founders said that before he started Dropbox, he didn't know anything about sales engineering and product development. He bought the top three books in each of those areas, and he got an advisory board. Simply put, you don't have to be brilliant and smarter than everybody else.  Don't fail your startup. Use the two golden questions and start reaching out to strangers. Open your mouth and ask. Investors are everywhere and they need startups, too. They need to put their money into entrepreneurs' startups so a little leg work and some networking is helpful. Go to the National Venture Capital Association and the National Angel Association to find lists of everybody.  Do your homework and do your due diligence on the investors.  “The importance of a strategic network for business and career success” episode resource  Stay in touch with Judy via email, judy@judyrobinett.com, and her LinkedIn account.  If you're a sales rep looking to hone your craft and learn from the top 1% of sellers, make plans to attend the Sales Success Summit in Austin, Tx, October 14-15.

When it comes to funding; why is it that sometimes a company that seems fairly average beats out a far superior one?…What’s the secret?you know… The saying; it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. But maybe in the world of “start-up” financing it’s both.So often smart founders with compelling business models fail due to a lack of funding. But what if you had guidance from the kind of person who has the ear of the top venture capitalist you’d want to reach… what would you want to know? Wouldn’t you want to know how to grab — and keep! — investor attention?Well stay tuned because our guest on this episode is returning champion Judy Robinett and she’s created the ultimate guide for doing just that with her new book, Crack the Funding Code: How Investors Think and What They Need to Hear to Fund Your Startup.

Judy Robinett’s story begins in Franklin, Idaho. As a young girl who was bullied during junior high, Judy felt uncomfortable at social events, which she would often arrive late to and leave early from. Until her 40s, she felt shy, awkward, not good enough, not cute enough and not educated enough. Today, however, Judy’s life paints a different picture. As a well-known and highly respected investor and advisor, she is known as the woman with a titanium Rolodex. If you’re curious about how she made the leap from insecure young woman to confident businesswoman, then you will want to hear episode 30 of I Want Her Job: The Podcast. In today’s show, Judy shares how an attitude of, “Keep your head down; work hard; and wait your turn,” turned into advice worth tossing. She read Dale Carnegie’s How To Win Friends And Influence People and immediately realized that it was actually those leaving early on Friday to socialize at the golf club were the ones getting ahead at work. After reading this book, she began to make intentional choices in how she interacted with others. This fresh outlook aids Judy to this day. When she meets someone new, Judy immediately begins looking for ways she can help, which she explains further in her step-by-step approach in her book on networking – How To Be A Power Connector. In today’s episode, Editor and Host Polina Selyutin discusses the art of connection with Judy and tips that can help you develop your own titanium Rolodex.

Judy Robinett The Ultimate Power Connector Judy Robinett - The Ultimate Power Connector hails from Franklin, Idaho, the high school where Napoleon Dynamite was filmed, population 600. She grew up shy and bullied but worked her way through college to Fortune 500 company employment and eventually the stage of MIT. While giving a speech there, she was handed a Wall Street Journal which she read on her flight home. An article about how to become financially independent in the US caught her eye which said there were 5 ways and the last one said start a business. She took a sizable SBA loan and started a restaurant. She immediately found out how hard it was to start a business. On the verge of bankruptcy, Judy sat in her attorney's office and he shared these words of wisdom: they can break you but they can't eat you. Share on Twitter Her journey led her to discover the world of start-ups. She became the CEO of a small bio-tech public company and worked with  the Skull Candies CEO founder when he was broke and needed funding. Judy became enamored with the start-up world. She sits on the boards and helps them find funding. Judy Robinett - Tips for a Start-up Judy Robinett The Ultimate Power Connector says her number one tip for success is identifying your ideal customer. You must validate you have a customer that will pay. You have to get out from behind the desk to and go meet with potential customers. Click on the image above to purchase this book on Amazon. There are a thousand incubators for them. Go to co-working spaces and seek advice. There are people that are happy to help you. In the US there is the Small Business Development Corp. SBDC and every county in the US has one of these groups. Colleges and Universities have these communities as well. Judy says there are two reasons a start-up fails. Number one is lack of a customer and number two is lack of funding. She fields calls all day from people seeking funding and when asked if they have sales and the answer is no, Judy says that is a mistake. What a Successful Start-Up Has Judy says you need a good management team. In the case of individuals, she looks at the executive summary and looks for three things: Have they done their research and know their ideal customer and proof of the concept that it will work; Create a product, and; Outside money that shows you are vetted. Investors are frantically looking for successful start-ups and when they see someone else has money in they are fearful of FOMO's - fear of missing out. The ROI for a successful start-up is over 21% and has been for 2 years and that is a lot better than a CD or savings account. There is no lack of money for start-ups. Credit Suisse predicts by 2019 global private wealth is 376 trillion! The funding is competitive. In a year a VC sees 5000 proposals. It's critical to have concise, compelling pitch-deck and you focus on what your investors need and not on how wonderful your kool-aid is. The first thing they will look at is ROI and how they will get their money back.

There is deep value in creating meaningful relationships. It is through building relationships that we can truly be servant leaders and add value to others. Our guest Judy Robinett shares how she went from a shy small-town girl to the pinnacles of the business world by doing just that. Judy shares practical steps on what it means to give before you get! Judy Robinett shares how to build a network based on serving others. This is a critical factor for success in business, ministry and in life. She grew up in a small town in Idaho of less than 300 people, so she has had to put in the time, effort and energy to build her network.  In addition, Judy had to overcome her shyness and emotional scars from years of being bullied in school.  Judy shares the turning point that created a shift in how she viewed relationships that changed the trajectory of her life. The key is knowing the value of relationships and how to connect with people to build and solidify those relationships. She says it boils down to a few things; one of those is being in the right room.  You have to connect and bond with people who share your same values and passions and are willing to help; and you have to know the right rooms to find them in. Regardless of where you are in your life, Judy says we all have the following to offer others: Your ability to listen and be a friend. Your willingness to put aside your own troubles and give them the gift of your time. Just talking it over with a trusted friend, solutions can be found to many problems. Listening to someone allows them to know, like and trust you. And when someone knows you and likes you and trusts you, they are far more likely to help you with your problems and to connect you with their sphere of influence.

Choose who you connect with wisely. "Other people have all of the critical resources to get you to where you need to go." -Judy Robinett The Cheat Sheet: How to know if you're in the wrong room. (4:30) What are the three golden questions and when should you ask them? (13:20) Your network comes BEFORE your success: true or false? (13:35) How to test for duds in your network. (29:00) How to improve your ability to ask. (36:10) How she got Mark Burnett to endorse her show. (48:25) And so much more... If someone was from a small town in Idaho would you take their advice on networking? What if they had 10 billionaires in their Rolodex, would you listen then? That hypothetical person is our guest for today's show. On episode 324 we're talking with and taking notes from Judy Robinett, a power connector, a giver and the author of How To Be a Power Connector. We'll be discussing how to be a power connector, a life hack for connecting with people who have zero time, and what makes a quality relationship...and so much more on this edition of The Art of Charm. More About This Show: Judy Robinett knows what it's like to build a network. She wasn't born into powerful connections and in fact, she considers herself to be shy. To add to that, she lives in a small town in Idaho of less than 300 people so she's had to put in the time, effort and energy to build her Rolodex and be the power connector she is today. And she's done that by knowing the value of relationships and how to connect with people to build and solidify a relationship. She says it boils down to a few things, one of those being in the right room. What she means by that is putting yourself in the right place to connect with the right people. You have to connect and bond with people who are influential, wealthy and connected; and you have to know the right rooms to find them in. Regardless of where you are in your life, Judy says you do have something to give to these people: your ability to listen. Everyone has a problem they need solved, but all too often we're consumed with our own lives and our own issues to actually listen to someone else and hear their problems. And listening to someone allows them to know, like and trust you. And when someone knows you and likes you and trusts you, they are far more likely to help you with your problems and to connect you with their sphere of influence. If you need a way to find these people, Judy recommends joining the symphony or joining a powerful organization as a volunteer. You have something to give and you have something to offer, find a place where you can give it and connect with influencers in the process. Another life hack all of us can use to connect with anyone, even the uber-busy successful millionaires and thought leaders of the world is to attend an event they're at, meet them and establish a bit of a rapport before offering to drive them to the airport. They have to get to the airport somehow right?! If you can take them there, you'll have their undivided attention and be able to chat with them one on one. By doing so, you're adding value to their lives and making things easier for them which are two key components to building a solid, robust and successful relationship. So whether you're driving someone to the airport or volunteering within their organization or simply listening, you're adding value and contributing to that person's life. And Judy says that is one of the most important ways to start a connection that will strengthen and add value to both of your networks and both of your lives. Judy had so much value to contribute in this episode! I really appreciated how generously she shared her knowledge and insights, and the real-life examples of being a power connector are particularly valuable. I want to thank Judy for joining us and to thank you for being here too. Enjoy the episode and we'll see you next time. THANKS JUDY!
