Meat Puppets handing you mailing list data

The right and the wrong way to approach a networking event

Most of my episodes are about experimental psychology, how to deal with and manage time, energy and resources, or a unique concept I’d like you to consider.

Sometimes the episode is a purely business-related show. This is one of them.

The excruciatingly hilariously wrong way to handle a networking event.

The wrong way to approach a networking event
  • Go to networking event
  • Collect as many cards as you can from people you regard as meat puppets handing you mailing list data
  • Wait two weeks
  • Send a three paragraph boilerplate text message to them at 2pm on a Sunday with a sales pitch about wha you can do for them
  • Sit back and wait for all that cash to roll in
    • The right way to approach a networking event
    • Go to networking event
    • Meet other people, engage with them to learn about them
    • Listen to what they do, why they do it, ask questions because you want to learn more
    • Use this information moving forward to decide who they would be a good connection for, and who would be a good connection for them
    • Suggest a one-on-one to learn more if you think it is prudent
    • Arrange a one-on-one with them, give a deeper dive to their business, and if appropriate, their hopes, dreams, aspirations and their human experience.
    • Hire them, or get hired by them if applicable
    • Continue to consider who they would be a good connection for from now on
