The Networking Sprint, from Castro Klein

Be the person in your network who knows who should meet.

The Networking Sprint. Two live sessions with Denise, building the AI skills that fill in your contact records after every call, draft your follow-up, and tell you which people in your network should meet, and why.

Two Thursdays. November 12 and 19 1:00 PM Eastern, 11:00 Mountain Two hours, live with Denise Plus four weeks of live support
This week's matches Monday, November 23

Three introductions worth making this week.

Strong match
Rachel Moore (bookkeeper) and Tom Alvarez (roofing company)
Rachel's ideal client is trades businesses doing $1M or more. Tom's company fits.
Worth a look
Dana Fields (business coach) and Priya Shah (fractional CFO)
Both work with owners of growing service businesses, and neither does what the other does.
Ask these two the three questions
Marcus Lee and Elena Ruiz
Their records are missing an ideal client, so there's nothing to match on yet.
Draft the intros Skip this week

Example, made-up names. The format is the real list you set up in session two.

If you network every week, some of this is familiar

You had a great connection call on Tuesday, and by Friday you can't remember exactly what they do.

You promised someone an introduction three weeks ago and it's still sitting in your head.

Your CRM has a name and an email for a person you spent an hour getting to know.

One good intro email takes twenty minutes of digging through LinkedIn and old notes.

You know two people who should meet, and you only think of it when you see them at the same event.

The follow-up you meant to send went out late, or not at all.

None of that means you're bad at networking. You're doing the hard part, the conversations, and nothing is catching what comes out of them.

What happens after every networking call

One routine, five steps. You do the talking, and the skills handle the rest.

  1. 1
    Before the call

    Prep My Day tells you who you're meeting, what you already know about them, and which of the three questions you still need to ask.

  2. 2
    On the call

    You ask three questions, and that's your whole job.

  3. 3
    After the call

    Wrap Up the Meeting pulls your Fathom or Granola notes, writes their answers onto the contact record, and drafts your follow-up email.

  4. 4
    Fill in the rest

    Look Them Up finds their LinkedIn profile and website. Update the Record creates the contact if it's missing, tags them as a networking partner, and fills in what it found.

  5. 5
    Make the connection

    Make a Match tells you who they should meet. Make the Intro drafts the email in Gmail for you to read and send.

Three questions that make it all work

The best information about someone isn't on their website. It comes out of the conversation, in their own words.

  1. 1

    "Tell me what you do, in your own words, the way you'd explain it to a friend."

  2. 2

    "Who's your ideal client? Who's the person you light up about working with?"

  3. 3

    "Who are your best referral partners, or who would you love to get referrals from?"

Ask those on every call and the skills do the rest. If one of them didn't come up, the record says so and your follow-up email asks for it. Nothing gets guessed from a website.

The skill people will ask you about

Clean contact records are nice to have. What makes this worth doing is what you can do with them. Make a Match looks across everyone you've met and tells you who should know each other, with the reason in plain words.

Client matches

One person's ideal client describes someone else you know. A bookkeeper who wants trades businesses, and the roofer you met last week.

Referral partner matches

Two people who serve the same kind of client without competing. A business coach and a fractional CFO who both work with growing service businesses.

It skips people who compete with each other, skips intros you've already made, and keeps the list short, three to five at a time. Nothing gets sent. You pick the matches you like, and Make the Intro drafts the emails for you to review.

Intro, ready for you Draft in Gmail
ToRachel Moore, Tom Alvarez
SubjectYou two should talk

Rachel, Tom, I've been meaning to put you two together. Rachel keeps the books for trades companies, and Tom's roofing company has grown past what a part-time bookkeeper can handle. I think twenty minutes on the phone would be worth it for both of you.

Send it Change something first
Nothing goes out until you send it.

Do that once a week and you become the person everyone wants to stay connected to, because you keep sending them good people.

This is what you get

Six skills that work together, installed in your own account and pointed at your own CRM.

Prep My Day

Before each call: who they are, what you know, and which of the three questions is still blank.

Wrap Up the Meeting

Your notes filed, their three answers saved to the record, and the follow-up drafted.

Look Them Up

Finds their LinkedIn and website, checks it found the right person, and pulls what's there.

Update the Record

Creates the contact if it's missing, tags them as a networking partner, and fills in the fields.

Make a Match

Tells you who in your network should meet, and why.

Make the Intro

Drafts the introduction email in Gmail, using what it knows about both people.

Works with the tools you already use

Your contacts stay in your CRM. If you don't use one yet, you get a ready-made spreadsheet that does the same job.

Denise Klein

Who you'll be building with

Denise Klein has spent more than twenty years building sales and marketing systems for real businesses, and she takes networking calls every week herself. She teaches both sessions and runs the support hours.

These skills started with Hilary Castro's own networking routine. Hilary built the first versions to keep up with her connection calls, and Denise turned them into a set anyone can install and run in HighLevel, Zoho, or a spreadsheet. Castro Klein is Hilary and Denise's joint venture, with about forty years of business experience between them.

Words from people who've built with Denise

"The follow-up system has already paid off with a new client that I had forgotten to add to my CRM, and the morning briefing found it in my email."

Mary GaulSuccess Magnified

"Doing it alone, or through self-paced coursework, is still just you on your own. What the sprint gave me was momentum: the structure to actually build the thing instead of just knowing it was possible."

Mary Wuest Mary WuestSynced Strategies

You take a lot of calls, and the follow-up lives in your head

This is you if

  • You take several networking or connection calls a week.
  • People come to you with "do you know anyone who..."
  • Referrals are a real part of how your business grows.

Not for you if

  • You'd rather not connect your email or record your calls.
  • You're looking for a bought list of cold contacts.
  • You want AI sending emails to people before you've read them.

Everything that comes with it

Two live 2-hour sessions with Denise

Not a recording. You build on your own contacts while she helps.

Four weeks of live support

Wednesdays at 10:00 AM Eastern, optional. For the record that didn't save right or the question that came up after the session.

Six skills, ready to install

Prep My Day, Wrap Up the Meeting, Look Them Up, Update the Record, Make a Match, and Make the Intro.

The questions everyone asks

Do I need to take the Daily AI Operating System Sprint first?

It helps, but you don't have to. If you've taken it, Claude is already set up and you know how skills work, so you'll move faster. If you're new, have your paid Claude account set up before session one and we'll get everything else connected together.

What do I need?

A paid Claude account, an email account you're willing to connect (Gmail), a meeting recorder like Fathom or Granola, and either HighLevel, Zoho, or the spreadsheet we give you.

I use a different CRM. Will it work?

HighLevel and Zoho are the two we've built for, plus the spreadsheet. If you're on something else, reply before you buy and we'll give you a straight answer.

Will it send emails to people for me?

No. Every follow-up and every introduction lands as a draft in your Gmail. You read it, change what you want, and send it yourself.

What if it fills something in wrong?

Sometimes it will, especially for people with a thin website or LinkedIn. That's why the three answers that matter most come from the conversation, and why session one teaches you to check the record before you rely on it.

Where does all this information go?

Into accounts you own: your CRM, your email, your Claude account. The lookups only use public information, like a LinkedIn profile and a business website.

What if I miss a session?

Both sessions are recorded, and the Wednesday support hours are there to catch you up.

Your network is already there. This helps you use it.

Over two Thursdays you build a routine that remembers every conversation, and a weekly list of the people in your network who should meet.

November 12 and 19. Ten seats.
