Originally from Germany, Patrick moved to the United States and found his place in Silicon Valley.
After working with start-ups, and struggling with one of his own, he eventually landed a job with a brand new company he truly believed in. That company was LinkedIn.
He’s now the founder of Mindmaven, a company that teaches professionals to generate more opportunities by introducing experience-based relationship management, and he also offers coaching services.
He also offers coaching services and it’s not uncommon for his clients to see a 5X return on investment.
One thing we discuss in today’s episode that I was particularly excited to talk about was the method Patrick uses to consistently send follow-up emails after meeting with someone. He showed me this process in person when we first met and I was blown away by how simple and quick it is.
