You’re always getting the hookup. Your boy got you into the club for free. Your girl gave you her employee discount for those cute new shoes. Even mom came through with a plate of your favorite meal on an ordinary Wednesday. That’s all well and good, but why not turn things around for a while? Instead of getting the hookup, try being the hookup.
A new position just opened up in your department. Recommend someone from within your professional network. You got tickets to the game, but you can't go. Call a friend and hook them up. The vending machine gave you two sodas instead of just the one you paid for. Give the other one to a co-worker. You get the picture.
You’ve heard the saying, “It’s not what you know but who you know.” Well, I believe you know lots of people who could be helpful to other people. So make an introduction and be the hookup. Need some ideas?
I’ll take the first step.
I have a wonderful dentist (she has no idea I’m putting her out there like this). Her name is Dr. Margaret Allen and her practice is Amazing Smiles. She is the most thorough dentist I’ve ever been to, and the professionals who work in her office are great and very personable. I always feel like I’m in good hands at Amazing Smiles.
