So many business people are short-sited and just want something for today, not realizing that banking for the future will give better results!<br />Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144469687599598038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19066927.post-55534154767654608852015-06-29T16:15:56.996-04:002015-06-29T16:15:56.996-04:00Thanks for the mention Debby! Coffee, Tea & C...Thanks for the mention Debby! Coffee, Tea & Contacts is a fun event and I often hear of successful connections made at it. Regarding some people's reactions to your email, some people "get it," and some people don't when it comes to connections. Some people have unrealistic expectations of instant results and they don't see the value in meeting you if you're not a potential business partner. Little do they know you probably know more people in the Chamber than anyone and do a remarkable job of connecting people! So their loss. I see that type of reaction all the time and it's very frustrating, but it's reality. I preach all the time that "networking takes time" and you never know who you might meet at an event or who those people could introduce you to, but sometimes it falls on deaf ears. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink! :)Liz Manningnoreply@blogger.com
