Build Your Relationship Portfolio with the Networking Bingo Card
Track, grow, and engage your network—one relationship at a time
Used with permission from executive coach and Your Invisible Network author Michael Urtuzuastegui Melcher, this powerful tool helps you take a strategic, structured approach to networking.
What is the Networking Bingo Card?
An effective career network isn’t built overnight—it’s built intentionally. In Your Invisible Network, Melcher outlines seven types of relationships that make up a strong professional portfolio: Weak Ties (acquaintances), Mentors, Colleagues, Bosses, Clients, Friends, and Beneficiaries.
The Networking Bingo Card brings that framework to life in a simple, interactive spreadsheet.
How to Use It
✅ Visualize Your Network: See who’s in your portfolio and where you may have gaps.
✅ Set Monthly Goals: Choose how and when to engage with each relationship type.
✅ Stay Connected: Use the built-in messaging prompts to reach out with purpose—whether it’s to reconnect, express appreciation, or solve a challenge together.
Why it Works
Strong networks drive career growth. Whether you’re job searching or growing in your current role, this tool helps you: build meaningful, balanced relationships, stay accountable with monthly goals, reconnect with intention using sample messages.
