When you take the time to do your homework and find out the seemingly insignificant small details about other people, you open yourself up to a world of opportunities. For example, I once interviewed Warren Buffett for a radio commercial for the NYSE and the day before, I read in his bio that he loved Cherry Coke (he had also made a killing off Coca-Cola stock). So, right before the interview, I treated him to a glass and he turned to me and said, "Linda, I'll tell you anything you want to know, because you just brought me a Cherry Coke." How's that for sweetening the deal? Keith, this is absolutely true!

I asked the CFO of a Fortune 100 company about the financial quarter and the conversation went cold. After some reflection I surmised that he must have thought I was looking for inside information and my question made him extremely uncomfortable. But be careful what you say and how you say it.

This is definitely true. I have been able to meet extraordinary people by doing my homework. One example that comes to mind is when I attended one of Keith's book seminars in Houston and I had less than one minute to speak with him and we connected on social innovation. It's that easy people. If you can connect with someone on a deeper level, great things can come from it. It is sort of like a personal elevator pitch as to why two people should connect.
