Search Engine Strategies, NY Events and Parties Networking
Posted by Salem Global on Feb 27, 2006
Though I would love to attend all of these, unfortunately I will be working. On the other hand, networking IS working! Ok – myabe I will attend. OTOH, I/you have to get your priorites straight. When networking, you really have to weigh out what you are doing there.
Are you trying to get more business?
Are you trying to get a new job?
Do you think alcohol is going to add to the possibility opf working for google or any other presenting company?
Are the people that attend these events the types of people/ people in the position to give you an account/ and /or hire you?
There are lots of related questions you need to ask before you attend these. Overall I am a big networker. If I am there for fun, yes I drink. If I am there professionally, I usually will just drink water. Sometimes alcohol does some things to you that you regret later. Missed opportunities. Bad first impressions. Regardless, everything in moderation. You don’t want to ruin your career or business by saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time.
So yes. You should attend as many as above as possible. Just remember everything in moderation. There are 2 types of networkers. Those who latch on to 1 or a few people and have in depth conversations, get to know the other person and end up with a strong solid base of a relationship for future purposes of ??? And then there are people who are “card collectors.” Going from person to person collecting business cards like they were collecting baseball cards. I don’t recommend the latter.
But if you want to meet me, give me call on my business phone 646-217-4733 and we can meet and talk. There are 2 types of people I want to meet with. a) Potential clients. b) Power partners. (a) is obvious. (b) sometimes is forgotten about. You have to really think about who a power partner is. Someone who you can benefit from. Of course, the ideal PP is someone who receives as well as gives. Meaning, a mutually beneficial relationship wheras you are giving each other business.
Ok. Enough about networking. Here are the updated events from:
