Why Networking Success is Random—But That’s a Good Thing

I meet this all the time: most people think of networking as a structured path to sales—go to an event, meet the right person, close a deal. But in reality, networking is stochastic—it follows the same logic as a Monte Carlo simulation, a widely used technique for running lots of small bets, or experiments, which accumulate over time into your desired result.

You can’t predict which conversation will lead to an opportunity. But you can increase the probability of success by maximizing high-quality interactions over time.

That’s where Delphi Network comes in. Instead of hoping for the right introduction, we systematically expand your reach and put you in front of the right people.

Think of it like running a high-volume, high-value networking algorithm on your behalf. If you’re relying solely on chance meetings or cold outreach, your odds are low. But when someone actively filters, curates, and connects you to key decision-makers and gate-keepers, you stack the deck in your favor.

Networking will always have randomness—but when you have the right system working for you, randomness becomes a strategic advantage.

Stop hoping for a lucky break. Increase your surface area for opportunity. Let Delphi handle the networking while you focus on closing deals.
