03Your playbook
Find your Best fits in your connections file
Four steps. Each takes minutes, not hours.
- 1
Describe the client you want
Write two or three sentences: the roles you sell to, the kinds of companies, the problem you solve. Plain words work better than a long keyword list.
- 2
Import your export
Upload the archive LinkedIn® lets you download. Sensitive files such as your sign-in history are never opened.
- 3
Review your Best fits
You get Best fits: people who fit, each with a plain reason. Mark each one as a fit, a maybe or not relevant.
- 4
Work down Today's list each day
Today shows the most useful next steps first: a reconnect, a referral ask, a promised follow-up. The list is short and has an end, so you can finish it.

Ask for referrals without being pushy
Examples to adapt, not to paste. Make the details true for you and the person you write to.
Hi Amara, it has been a while since we spoke at the Rotterdam meetup. I saw Kestrel opened two new depots this year, congratulations. How is the team handling the extra routes?
No ask yet. Make it specific to them, and only send it if you mean the question.
Daniel, I am taking on two new route-planning projects this quarter. If anyone in your circle is wrestling with delivery costs, I would be glad of an introduction. And if not, no problem at all.
Say exactly what you do and for whom. Give an easy way to say no.
Lucía, here is the short case study I mentioned: how a regional grocer cut empty miles by planning routes weekly instead of daily. Happy to walk you through it if useful.
Keeping small promises builds more trust than any pitch.
05Rhythm
A weekly rhythm: a few steps a day
Small and steady beats big and rare.
- Monday: review Today and your Best fits; add notes from last week's calls.
- Tuesday to Thursday: work down Today's list. Reconnect, ask, deliver. Stop when the list is done.
- Friday: log outcomes (reply, meeting, referral, no answer) so next week's list gets better.
- Every few months: download a fresh export and import it so titles and new connections stay current.
Mistakes that burn relationships
- Sending the same pitch to everyone who fits a title. People can tell.
- Asking for business in the first message after years of silence.
- Following up more than twice without a reply. Pause and try again in a few months.
- Promising something and not sending it. Set a reminder the moment you promise.
- Treating an old job title as current. Check their profile before you write.

Good to know
- The export contains your first-degree connections only. It does not show who they know.
- Company and title reflect the export date. People change jobs.
- Many connections hide their e-mail address from exports, so most rows have none.
- TapForNetwork suggests; it does not promise clients, replies or revenue.
Questions
Will TapForNetwork message my contacts?
Is it all right to ask connections for work?
How is this different from a sales CRM?
