Nice list! Good balance of humor and practicality. I especially enjoyed this one:
"If you end up pitching to someone over coffee, ask to hear their pitch afterwards."
A nice thought, as a lot of people view networking only through the lens of "what can I gain?"
- davemel37 12y agoIronically. The best way to gain from networking is to forget about what you can gain and focus on the other persons interests. Excellent point about an excellent list in an excellent post.
- robotnoises 12y agoExcellent reply!
- joepie91_ 12y agoChef Excellence would be proud.
- willlma 12y agoWhat does he mean by "their pitch"? Doesn't this assume they're launching a product?
