I just added this image (below) to a page on this site. This is true.
Imagine when I was young and stupid (no big stretch there) – I used to attend
‘networking’ functions.
Basically what happens at networking functions is people push their business card onto you and try and sell you stuff.
It’s desperate stuff.
It’s not the way to do it.
Cheers

Oh Brendon, you can’t tell us that it’s not the way to do it, and then not tell us what the real way to do it is. Come on, just how do you network? 😀

I have this image in my head that you can almost smell the desperation at networking functions. I’ve brushed off any invites to stuff liek this so have luckily avoided experiencing it first hand. Can’t think of much worse an event to have to attend. Just so contrived.

Hi Brendon,
Have you come across BNI (Business network international) before?
Brendon says
Howdy guys
Networking is pretty easy – it’s simply about meeting likeminded people in the right situation to start creating a relationship.
The overwhelming thing…….you know what, I’ll write a blog post about this.
Cheers Big Ears.
