Don’t hook, hub! S’cuze me?

How many of you don’t like these people who come to you directly at networking events, or any event for that matter of fact and without even knowing who you are start selling their products? We all do. It’s a shame because the true meaning of networking is building connections. True networking is about hubbing. Hum, I’m marketing that word. I’m hubbing. But I digress…. People who try to hook you directly are missing the point and just plain old, turn off anyone. It might be this dubious logic that pitch to a hundred so that even if one reacts positively it’s a win, just doesn’t work anymore.

I’ve always felt like a hub of relationships and possibilities. When I walk into a room or a networking event, my thoughts are about who can be useful for who? I love to get to know people and my thoughts automatically gear into how can this person benefit from someone else I met or myself and my services. I love connecting people. I love the endless possibilities that ultimately form the giant mosaic we are, Life.
