Quick note that I attended a networking event organized by AMA Toronto chapter and Craig Lund. This part Thursday.

The location and the events itself was pretty cool. The crowd was a mix of glamour, professional and anti-corporate lifestyle professionals.

I came with a goal to find some potential sales reps, writers and designers. I did get couple of leads from there and working on it.

At the same time it amazes me how a lot of marketers don’t know by themselfes how to market. Some ideas that came in mind after this event:

• -be nice to everybody, i saw some people that changed the attitutde when they realized they can’t sell anything to a person. The person might know somebody or need your services in the future
• -if you come to the networking event – bring your business cards. Some people “ran out” it is such a simple thing, yet it has a good impact
• -if you are doing a presentation – don’t read from your power point especially when you are presenting to marketers who earn their living my doing presentations
• -don’t drink too much. While it is ok to drink to some, to relax and be laid back. Being drunk won’t help you to get that next gig.

Overall it was a usefull event I will atend it again. I woudl reccomend it to anybody who is looking for a work or business opportunities in marketing industry in Toronto.
