I’m Thinking about Networking Today

Thursday, March 18, 2010

I know, it’s after 4 p.m. and I’m just now posting. But as I mentioned Monday, this was going to be a busy week, and today was the busiest day of all.

I had lunch with my agent, the inimitable Chip MacGregor, this afternoon and in and amongst the myriad of topics we discussed was networking. So, since I missed out on writing a blog post this afternoon, I thought I’d flash back to a couple of weeks ago, to my “spotlight on” series and put the spotlight on the two series I did on networking.

Networking (July/August 2006)
Gas–$3, Book–$12, Networking–Priceless
Networking–What is it, really?
Networking = Name Recognition = Marketing
Networking: Addendum to Building Name Recognition

    What I wouldn’t give to have lunch with Chip and just pick his brain. In a nice way, of course, so the gray matter isn’t completely removed from the skull. 😉

    Hmmm…Jason, there’s a story there… 🙂

    My networking skills completely stink. I find it difficult to overcome my very introverted nature where networking about writing is concerned. Guess that gives me a goal to work on (like I need another one).
