How are my networking events like NYDJ?

You know the clothing company, Not Your Daughter’s Jeans? They  differentiate themselves from the competition by naming their market (mothers, aka women) and offering something more desirable for their demographic. I’m speaking only for myself, but nod if you agree, I don’t want to wear shredded denim or the designer’s name on my derriere. I do want a pair of jeans that are flattering and hip, so I buy the NYDJ brand.

I feel the same about one-size fits all networking meetings. Are you getting tired of networking events where you do and say the same thing? Go around the room, announce what you do, say who your market is, then hope and pray there’s someone in the room who can refer you, use your services or even want to engage in conversation? Ho-hum.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve met wonderful people and gotten business in these environments, but it feels stale and I’m having trouble psyching myself up to keep showing up.

That’s why I’m offering a different kind of networking event Thursday night, October 24, at In Good Company in NYC. I want you to meet Remarkable Women in a different way. The focus that night will be on creating meaningful relationships first, building business connections second. And I will be facilitating that activity–in a fun and memorable way. You do not want to miss this!

Here are the details and registration link to join us next week. Hope to see you there!
