Ep 45. Advice from the Stranger in Sales

I was finishing up a novel at the local bookstore I went to on Sundays and came across a kind stranger who struck up a conversation with me. He worked in digital marketing (specifically in sales and lead acquisitions), and we talked for a good 30 minutes or so (a nice fella). Here are some takeaways on networking the proper way: Get them in a one-on-one setting (gatherings or events can be distracting) It's a hit-and-miss (but you will always gain sth out of everyone, even if they don't end up meeting you again for coffee) Make it convenient for them (they're busy, make it easy for them) Be prepared (and intentional when asking questions)
