Michael Sartain’s Top 10 Networking Hacks You Need to Know
If you want to elevate your life, your business, and your dating results—it starts with who you know.
But most men treat networking like a chore. They show up awkward, unprepared, and leave with a pocket full of business cards and zero follow-up.
Not at Men of Action (MOA).
Michael Sartain built MOA by mastering high-level social strategy—turning rooms of strangers into power circles and leveraging connections to unlock elite-level access, opportunity, and attraction.
If you're ready to upgrade your social game, here are Michael Sartain’s 10 networking hacks every high-value man needs to know.
1. Don’t Network—Host
Why it works:
Hosting flips the power dynamic. When you’re the one bringing people together, you don’t have to “introduce” yourself—you become the center of gravity.
Host private dinners, mastermind meetups, or casual gatherings
Invite high-value men and socially influential women
Be the guy who connects value—not the one asking for it
Power isn’t showing up—it’s being the reason others do.
2. Never Go Alone—Bring Value With You
Showing up solo to a high-status event without a plan? Low-level move.
High-value men show up with other high-value people—especially attractive women or influential friends.
Why it works:
You instantly appear connected and trusted
You multiply your perceived value through association
MOA Rule: Who you bring speaks louder than what you say.
3. Leverage Instagram as a Proof of Life
Don’t hand out business cards—exchange Instagrams.
Why? Because IG is visual social proof. It tells your story without you needing to sell it.
Make sure your IG shows:
High-status environments
Mixed-gender social settings
Personal style, leadership, and motion
Your IG is your digital resume. Use it to build curiosity and credibility instantly.
4. The 3-Person Rule: Add More Than You Take
Every time you meet someone new, introduce them to at least 3 people.
This positions you as a connector
It makes people remember you
It creates immediate reciprocity
Pro tip: People respect the guy who elevates the room, not the one trying to climb it.
5. Control the Frame With High-Energy Introductions
Don’t mumble your name and hope they care.
Michael’s approach:
Introduce yourself with confidence, clarity, and curiosity
Add energy to your tone—people remember how you made them feel
Ask “How do you know everyone here?” instead of “What do you do?”
MOA Rule: First impressions aren’t visual—they’re energetic.
6. Always Document Strategically (Without Clout-Chasing)
Photos, stories, short videos—use them to document your presence, not to flex.
What to post:
Group shots with high-value people
✔ Hosting moments or behind-the-scenes access
Subtle tags that reflect association, not desperation
This builds social momentum—and makes future invites 10x easier.
7. Know the Power People—Then Add to Their Mission
In every room, there are people who make things happen.
Find them. Add value. Then stay in orbit.
Don’t pitch. Offer help.
Share their content. Bring them people. Connect them quietly.
Become their go-to guy—not just another fan.
MOA Rule: Want power? Get close to it—and multiply it.
8. Follow Up Like a Pro (Without Being Thirsty)
Most guys drop the ball here. Michael doesn’t.
DM the next day with a simple reminder: “Solid connecting last night—let’s stay in the loop.”
Send relevant content, intros, or invites.
Keep the convo warm with value—not small talk.
High-value networking = strategic long-game.
9. Pre-Qualify Events—Don’t Waste Energy on Low-Level Rooms
You’re not just “networking.” You’re building your empire.
Only show up where the room elevates your value.
Ask: Who’s hosting? Who attends? What energy does this space attract?
If it’s full of low-level thinkers or takers—skip it.
Michael doesn’t show up to be seen. He shows up to build alignment.
10. Be the Most Memorable Person—Without Needing Attention
How?
Dress with precision, not flash
Bring good energy, not loud energy
Ask better questions than anyone else
Leave people feeling seen, respected, and curious about who you are
MOA Rule: Don’t try to impress—become unforgettable.
Final Thoughts: Master the Room—Don’t Just Walk Into It
High-status networking isn’t about “getting in”—it’s about owning your identity in every room.
When you follow these 10 hacks, you’ll go from “just another guy” to the man people want to know, introduce, and invite again.
At Men of Action, we don’t network to get lucky.
