Marketing partner, Claire Scaramanga hit’s the nail on the head when it comes to networking:
I don’t go to these events with a mission to give my card to as many people as possible. I go with a mission to meet interesting people who can possibly help me at some time and who I can also help.
It has always bothered me at networking events when greasy people push their greasy business cards at you, while all the time trying as hard as they can to dis-engage in conversation because they’ve got a full box of cards in their greasy pockets and they haven’t fully ‘worked the room’.
