Strategies for Speed Networking
Most of the topics we have covered on networking recently have been more abstract in nature. Today’s topic is the last one I had set under “week three.” It is Speed Networking.
I actually have never been to a speed networking session and from Coach Powell’s response which we’ll hear tomorrow it doesn’t really even seem like I will ever need to.
What has been your experience with speed networking? Did you meet the people that you wanted to meet? Was it profitable for you?
If you have been, what were the strategies that you employed to get effective results from this very specific form of networking?
I am with you, Dan. I have never been to one of these events. Is there a strategy besides collecting the most business cards? Is it like a face to face unpersonal email blast of your “manager minute”? I would be interested in hearing other comments, and what the follow up rate was on attending one of these events.
