If you think networking is just handing out business cards and chasing cold leads, think again. 

In this episode of Unfinished Business, David Sliman sits down with Frank Agin, President of AmSpirit Business Connections, to break down what real networking is and why it has nothing to do with selling. From golf metaphors to healed femurs, Frank brings practical, human-centered strategies for building a network that actually gets results.

This conversation covers how to grow influence, build referral pipelines, and ditch the pushy energy for authentic connection. If you’re tired of fake networking events and empty follow-ups, this episode will reset your approach and help you build relationships that move the needle.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Networking isn’t sales. Stop aiming for the hole-in-one. Get it down the fairway, build trust, and take the long view.
  • Help is the four-letter word that drives everything. Show up to serve, and people will want you in their network.
  • Presence, altruism, and integrity. These are the three habits of every great connector.

🎙️ Podcast Phrase (Frank Agin): "The only superpower you need in networking is caring enough to help someone first."

 

Networking isn’t dead, it’s just misunderstood. If you want to become someone people trust and refer, listen to this. Then share it with someone who needs to upgrade their network game and subscribe to Unfinished Business for more no-fluff business strategy.
