I too used to think that networking events were a waste of time - until I learned how to "use" them correctly. The best advice I got came from this book: http://www.contactscount.com/makeyourcontactscount.html http://www.contactscount.com/makeyourcontactscount.html It's a bit heavy at the beginning, but for a non-natural-networker like me, it has LOTS of useful advice. By the way, the authors insist on face-to-face meetings, but I want to explore how far it's possible to get applying the same principles with remote relationships - which is fundamental when you don't live in a tech hub. I'm still thinking about how to proceed with this experiment, but if anybody else is interested in exploring the idea, feel free to contact me: dan@cybranding.com
