Most self–promoters act like they are sprinting on a track when they should be walking through a neighborhood instead.

When you sprint, you put flyers up on every door you pass. When you walk, you build relationships with people one at a time.

When you sprint, you start rushing and do things you wouldn’t normally do, like spamming people. When you walk, you find out what is important to people first and then show them how you might be able to help.

When you sprint, you seem desperate and pushy. When you walk, you seem genuine and helpful.

Slow down. Life is a long race.

Hey, Greg.
Just want to push back on one thing: the concept of "selling" is so last century. No one likes to be sold to and people generally buy from those they trust or have a rapport with. So, instead of plain old selling, I think that "connecting" is the name of that game. Doesn't mean bringing in biz is not important. Au contraire -- it's critical!! Especially now, as there's zero room in companies for people who are just overhead. Everyone needs to be thinking about signing business, even those who think they're above it or too academic or too noble.
Also, networking is much more fun when you can take the selling out of it. Instead, go into networking with the idea that you're gonna see how you can help someone else. Kind of goes hand in hand with the "soul stirring" part of career management
