Industry meetings
Thursday, June 25, 2009 13:38Yesterday night I was in an informal meeting that discussed China as an export market for Finnish industries. We had interesting set of people giving short presentations of various issues that must be addressed. As usual, presentations were not the thing I went to check out. I was there because of leads.
WORN OUT ADVICE ON HOW TO GET SALES LEADS
They tell you that you should take part into local chamber of commerce meetings. I say those are waste of time. The real value - just like in the Internet, by the way - can be found in niche markets. When people get together to discuss something very specific there are bound to be more focused set of people present. Especially there will be a sense of pain in the room as everybody really needs something. Approach anyone with your angle on the matter and notice how amazingly well you are received. Go to these meetings alone and force yourself to know other people.
