Network Map

The Network Map is the visual view of how your relationships actually flow. It plots every partner who has introduced someone to you, or to whom you have made an intro, draws lines for the intros and referrals that happened, and marks where revenue followed. It is the page to open when you want to see who in your network is doing the work, who has gone quiet, and where the gaps are.

Where to find it

Where to find it: Sidebar → Partners → Map tab. Direct URL: /dashboard/my-network.

The Network Map page. The title and network health grade at the top, the time-window switcher and the attribution toggle in the top right, four figures across the page, and the Connection graph below.

It is one scrolling page, not a set of tabs. From top to bottom: four figures (People in network, Network revenue, Avg hops to revenue, and your top connector), a headline insight calling out your strongest path to revenue, the Connection graph, and a Top connectors by network value table.

Your network health grade sits next to the page title, so you can see at a glance whether the picture below is healthy before you read a single number.

The controls in the top right

  • Chat with your assistant about your map. Opens the assistant with your network already in context, so you can ask about it in plain English. The button carries whatever you have named your assistant.
  • Time window. The buttons 6m, 12m, 24m and All filter the graph and the revenue to that window. The default is 12m.
  • Attribution. Two options:
    • Full credit. Every connection in a chain gets full credit for downstream revenue. If A introduced you to B, who introduced you to C, who closed a deal worth $50k, both A and B get credit for the full $50k.
    • Discounted. Closer connections get more credit. The further away a connection sits, the less it counts.

The default is Full credit, which is the right view for celebrating who connected you to your best deals. Switch to Discounted when you want a single ranked list that does not double-count multi-hop introductions. The sentence under the page title changes with the toggle, so the explanation always matches the numbers below it.

Focus the graph

Where to find it: The filter panel on the left of the Connection graph card.

The panel has three parts, and every change redraws the graph right away. The line above the graph always says how many people are showing and why.

The Connection graph card with the filter panel on the left: Show, Filter by color and Lines, with a count beside every option.

Show picks the kind of exchange:

  • Everyone. Your whole network and every exchange between you.
  • Introductions. Every introduction, both ways. Pick Given (introductions you made) or Received (introductions partners made for you) underneath to narrow it to one direction.
  • Referrals. Every referral, both ways. Pick Given (referrals you sent) or Received (referrals that came to you) underneath to narrow it to one direction.

Filter by color turns each color on the graph on or off. Every color starts on:

  • Revenue attached (green). Money has come from the relationship.
  • Referrals exchanged (blue). Referrals have passed between you, with no revenue recorded yet.
  • Introductions only (purple). Introductions, but no referrals yet.
  • No exchange in 12 months (gray). Nothing has passed between you in the time window. The label follows the window you picked.
  • Runs both ways. Shows only the people whose exchange goes in both directions. They have a ring around their dot.

The number beside each color is how many people it covers in the current view, so a color you have hidden still tells you how many it would bring back. Click Show all to turn every color back on. To see only the partners who have brought in money, turn off every color except green.

Lines explains what each line on the graph means: blue is a referral you gave, amber is a referral that came to you, a dashed gray line shows who made an introduction, and a solid gray line is the connection an introduction created.

Your choices are remembered the next time you open the map.

Tip

The most surprising number on this page is usually who your top connector is. Click Show top connector in the Connection graph header to highlight them. It is almost never the partner you would have guessed.

Explore the graph

Where to find it: The Connection graph card.

Click any node and the detail panel opens on the right. To give the graph room, the filter panel folds into a narrow strip of buttons: the colors still turn on and off with one click, the top button opens every filter over the graph, and the arrow at the bottom keeps the full panel open. The line above the graph shows who you are focused on, with an × to clear it.

The detail panel shows:

A partner selected. The graph dims everyone else and highlights the lines into and out of them. The detail panel on the right shows revenue contribution, intro count, and who they connected you to.

  • Revenue contribution. How much downstream revenue is attributable to this partner, in whichever attribution mode is active.
  • Intro count. How many intros they have made or been part of, given against received.
  • Who they connected you to. The people who came through them, and what came of each.

With a partner selected, a story of every intro that ran through them appears below the graph, in order, so you can read the relationship as a sequence rather than a cloud of dots. Hovering a person in the map brings up a small card with the same story in miniature.

Click another node to switch. Press Escape, click empty space, or click the same node again to deselect. To jump straight to someone, use Find a partner in the Connection graph header.

Below the graph, Top connectors by network value ranks the partners contributing the most revenue. It shows a handful at first, with a button to show more, so you can compare the picture to a sortable list.

Tip

If the graph looks empty or has only you on it, you have not logged enough intros yet. Add a few past intros from the Introductions page or import them in bulk, and the map fills in.

Decide what to do about it

Where to find it: The See what to do link under the headline insight, which opens Pulse.

The map is for understanding your network. Pulse is for acting on it: it reads the same relationships and hands you a short, ranked list of moves, including which partner to ask for more intros, which stalled intro to unstick, and which quiet relationship is worth a personal note this week.

Tip

Look at the map monthly, work Pulse weekly. The map changes slowly, and staring at it more often than that rarely tells you anything new.

Get more out of your assistant

The map is only as good as the history behind it:

  • Log past intros. The graph is built from your introduction history. The more you have logged, especially older ones with outcomes, the richer it gets.
  • Mark intros as won when they convert. Without an outcome an intro is just a meeting. Add the dollar value when a deal closes.
  • Keep partner profiles current. Type of business, expertise and the partner types you want to meet all shape the suggestions your assistant can make from this data. Stale profiles produce weak ones.

Ask your assistant things like "Who in my network has gone quiet?" or "Which partner has introduced me to the most attorneys?" and it answers from exactly the data the map is drawn from.

On a phone

In a phone browser the filters sit in a row above the graph: tap a color to hide or show it, or tap Filters to open every option in a sheet from the bottom of the screen. Tap a dot and the graph zooms to that partner and their connections, with the relationship details in a half-height sheet below. Tap the handle at the top of the sheet to see everything, and the × to close it.

On the iOS app

Where to find it: Bottom navigation → Profile tab → My Network, or ask your assistant.

On iOS the graph stacks: the map on top, the detail panel below it once a partner is selected. Tapping a node selects it the same way clicking does.

For quick questions the chat path is faster. Try "Who's my top connector this year?" or "Show me partners who've gone quiet."

Tip

The map reads best on a tablet or a desktop. On a phone, Pulse is usually the better stop, because its cards are sized for a vertical screen.
