Networking to Build Professional Relationships

Page 2: Networking to build professional relationships

There are many people who are trying to make it out there. They have talent, grit, and are up to date on what is going on in the world of finance.

Page 3: Networking to build professional relationships

But they lack the other crucial component: networking.

Page 4: Networking to build professional relationships

When it comes to finance, relationships are so important that to neglect them is to neglect your entire business.

Page 5: Networking to build professional relationships

Clients need an occasional phone call, not always with a tip or offer to buy, but to see if they have any questions or ideas; maybe they know something you don't.

Page 6: Networking to build professional relationships

Outside of these relationships, though, other relationships need to be forged, especially with those in the industry.

Find a Cause You Care About

Page 8: Networking to build professional relationships

If you live in a bubble where you build wealth, make trades, and go home, you will find that your circle of influence may shrink over time.

Page 9: Networking to build professional relationships

However, if you follow in the footsteps of Joel Greenblatt, a hedge fund manager and author of the book, You can be a Stock Market Genius: (Even if You're not too Smart!),

Page 10: Networking to build professional relationships

- and dedicate your time and money to an organization like Success Academy, a charter school in New York City that has been redefining education since 2006, there may be some surprising results.

Page 11: Networking to build professional relationships

Mr. Greenblatt's charitable work is not meant to make money, but as any financial advisor knows, it's all networking.

Page 12: Networking to build professional relationships

He might find his next protégé at a charitable event, and that young person looking for a mentor may find him or herself talking to a finance industry recruiter.

Page 13: Networking to build professional relationships

The point is that you don't know where things lead, and when you are already doing something you care about, there's no pressure to make something out of it, because you already are.

Attend Social Events

Page 15: Networking to build professional relationships

Last December the New York Stock Exchange hosted a party for the non-profit Portfolios With Purpose.

Page 16: Networking to build professional relationships

In attendance were hedge fund managers like James Dinan and Alex Duran.

Page 17: Networking to build professional relationships

Any young professional in finance would have been a fool to turn down an invitation to be around these powerhouses.

Page 18: Networking to build professional relationships

Also in attendance was Jeffrey Deskovic, a man who had been wrongfully imprisoned for 17 years for a heinous crime he did not commit.

Page 19: Networking to build professional relationships

Mr. Deskovic now runs the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, a charity that helps fight for the wrongfully imprisoned.

Page 20: Networking to build professional relationships

While he is not looking for work in the hedge fund industry, many who are care about his work and are eager to meet him so that they can help support his cause.

Page 21: Networking to build professional relationships

And that was exactly what had happened when he was there that night.

Page 22: Networking to build professional relationships

While an outsider may have found that he was lucky to get to have fun at such a party, he spent the evening speaking with people about the work they do.

Page 23: Networking to build professional relationships

Friendships were made, but so were professional connections.

Page 24: Networking to build professional relationships

By supporting causes you care about you can find yourself in the same company as others you would otherwise have to work to seek out.

Page 25: Networking to build professional relationships

By attending social events, you may also find common ground with those in the field of high finance.

Page 26: Networking to build professional relationships

While everyone else is busy working to make these connections, the truth is that they come best when they come naturally.

Page 27: Networking to build professional relationships
