Do you have any examples? Or can you explain how exactly it would work to make these connecting people financially lucrative?

Person A is a consultant/investor of business A who is looking to expand their retail footprint to a new geography. They have a friend, person B, who is a big networker. Person B knows the landlord of a business at a suitable location and introduces the two parties. The networker gets an option to invest, finds an investor willing to split the upside, and takes a mid 6 figure success fee with no money invested. The work done is pretty minimal and the entire thing relies heavily on knowing other wealthy individuals and successful entrepreneurs.
