Experience the TODD Effect: Networking That Stays Authentic
Authenticity stands out! People crave genuine connections, and networking should be no different. Enter TODD, a platform designed not just to manage contacts but to foster real relationships. See more related topics on our blog table of contents. Let’s dive into how the TODD effect makes networking easier through authenticity.
Authenticity in Networking
Successful networking relies on authentic connections. Approach relationships with honesty and integrity to create a foundation of trust. This trust opens doors, leading to valuable collaborations and opportunities. In a sea of superficial interactions, authenticity sets you apart.
The TODD Effect
TODD helps you stay real without dropping the ball. Notes live next to each contact, next steps are auto-suggested, and follow-ups queue themselves. You’ll see: who you owe a reply, the last context you shared, and the best time window to reach out. That’s how casual convos become booked calls. For how this fits our Business Momentum System (BMS), see the BMS overview. It’s a practical professional networking tool built for small business outreach and warm outreach—more relationship management than CRM.
Creating Meaningful Connections
TODD makes creating meaningful connections effortless. Reach out to contacts, follow up on previous discussions, and share relevant content. Authenticity shines through when you genuinely care about your network. Personal interactions increase the likelihood of reciprocity, leading to deeper connections.
What You’ll Notice in Week One
- Replies climb: timely nudges on warm threads (typical +10–25% reply lift).
- Less context switching: notes + last email preview beside each contact.
- Fewer dropped balls: overdue follow-ups surface at the top of your day.
- Cleaner lists: bounced or stale emails flagged for quick fixes.
Success Stories
Real-world examples illustrate the impact. Business owners using TODD report increased engagement and stronger relationships. One user shared how following up on a personal note about a recent vacation sparked a conversation that led to a lucrative partnership. Authenticity creates opportunities—never underestimate its power.
Quick Win
A local chamber lead had 63 warm introductions scattered across email and DMs. After importing into TODD, the “overdue follow-ups” view surfaced 12 people who hadn’t heard back in 14+ days. Two messages and one calendar link later, they booked 3 calls and closed a $7,500 pilot. Same network—just fewer misses.
Embrace the TODD Effect
Are you ready to experience the TODD effect? Embrace authenticity in your networking efforts. Use TODD to track your interactions and remember key details about your contacts. Share relevant insights and check in regularly. You’ll see how authentic networking can build stronger business relationships.
Try It on Your Own List
Give TODD a small test—import 50 contacts, tag 10 as warm, and let the follow-up queue do its thing for a week. If you don’t see more replies and fewer “my bad” messages, kill it. If you do, keep going.
FAQ
What does “authentic networking” mean?
It means showing up as yourself, listening first, and following through. Instead of blasting generic pitches, you build trust with relevant, timely outreach and keep commitments visible in one place.
How does TODD help me be more authentic?
TODD centralizes notes, preferences, and next steps so you remember context. It recommends timely follow‑ups, drafts thoughtful messages, and tracks responses—so every touch feels personal, not scripted.
Is TODD a CRM?
No. TODD is a Business Momentum System (BMS) that does the work before a CRM—research, outreach, follow‑ups, tasks, and enrichment—so your CRM gets clean, complete data.
Conclusion
The TODD effect isn’t just about a tool; it’s about a mindset. Prioritizing authenticity in your networking opens the door to lasting relationships and opportunities. Join the TODD community, embrace the power of genuine connections, and watch your network flourish.
