This sounds like a good idea. What I see as a difficulty is that it might be harder to strike up a conversation or make lasting connections when you are not the normal visitor. "Hi I am here because I am curious" is probably quite unexpected. Would you pose as a potential customer buying goods, or be direct in your curiosity?
- nicw 9y agoBe upfront about your curiosity, otherwise it falls apart pretty quickly if you have a deeper conversation :) What you want to focus on is learning about the space and the players, not pitching them a solution. I tell people that I am interested in the space, and am in listening mode —> and what do they do? Tell me more....etc etc
