How many people know you personally?
Not your full database. The people who would recognize your name if a friend mentioned it. Joe Girard, the world's greatest salesman, said most people know 250 others. His benchmark: count the seats at your funeral.

Here's what's already in motion inside that network.
Statistically, 2 out of every 12 people who know you will either move or refer someone who does this year.

Adjust either number below if your situation is different.
