How to Build Connections that Last: The Ekko Way
We all know how to build multiple connections, but reaI challenge lies in building a lasting one!
“Your network is your net worth”
Building connections that last can feel like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. At Ekko, we believe that lasting connections are not just possible—they're essential. Let's understand how we can get to know each other better and build a lasting connection.
Be Authentically You
As famous famous podcast host, Jay Shetty says- authenticity is key and it goes a long way!
Mind it, authenticity isn’t just a buzzword that gen z’ s are running after; it’s the heart of meaningful connections. When you meet someone new, you must express your true self. Share with them your passions, quirks and dreams. And if your values align - this connection is sure to last a lifetime.
Listen Like You Mean It
We all like when we are heard by someone, it shows they are interested us. Show genuine interest in what others have to say by giving small responses like a nod, maintaining eye contact. By actively listening to others we make them feel valued and this helps us to maintain a lasting connection with them.
Stay Connected, Stay Relevant
The initial spark of a connection is just the beginning. We need to stay connected with others to maintain a lasting relationship, a small message or an e-mail shows our concern, and tells the other person how important the connection with them means to us. Here is where Ekko comes in, with just a single tap- you can connect with anyone or everyone!
Moreover, Ekko has this really cool feature- called the Ekko Nudge - which helps send out emails to your connections at a fixed timing set by you.
Add Real Value
Ask yourself, “How can I help this person?” Whether it’s offering your expertise, or introducing them to someone in your network, adding value builds goodwill. It shows that you’re invested in their success, not just your own. This helps in making a reciprocal relationship that can last a lifetime.
Be Consistently Reliable
Reliability is the cornerstone of trust. We should always mean what we say to them. It should not be just words but there should be actions of what we have said for. When people know they can rely on you, they’re more likely to invest in the relationship, leading to stronger, more lasting connections.
Express Gratitude and Appreciation
A simple “thank you” goes a long way. Whether it's a heartfelt note, a shoutout on social media, or a small token of thanks, expressing gratitude strengthens your connections and makes people feel valued and respected. By showing appreciation for the people in your network, you can make them feel that they are important to us.
Create Shared Experiences
Create lasting memories and deeper bonds. Inviting new connections to events, collaborating on projects, or simply spending time together. These experiences build a shared history that can transform a casual acquaintance into a meaningful lasting connection.
A connection that last requires a mix of genuine human interaction and staying on the word you gave to them. With the help of Ekko Network and the right approach, you can cultivate a network that supports and uplifts you throughout your personal and professional life.
