I’ve been attending a lot of networking events. I like them.
Networking events are often the “sip and goes” of the business world. In many cases, despite a shared connection and decent chat, very little takes place other than people becoming peers on Linkedin.
The events can be informal or formal, but in general consist of people with goods or services to provide others. Some people are like me. They love talking and meeting new people and in the process meet others who help them grow professionally and personally.
But it wasn’t until one event recently that I faced outright sales pitches.
