You never know where your next bit of work is coming from eh?
I was minding my own business, checking my ansaphone, when I got a big surprise. Someone I met at CorkMeet 2009 contacted me. I hadn’t spoken to him since the first evening of that “firecracker” event. (his great phrase)
After CorkMeet 2009…
I put up a blogpost which listed all contacts we made among the 300 companies that were there. It was a long list (over 40). I have been in contact with some. Got business from some. Overal,l I count that business networking experience a success. But there are many interesting contact I haven’t yet followed up…
You can’t follow every lead.
Life is too complex for it to be reduced to following one set of leads. Many unexpected things happened to distract me from religiously following the CorkMeet path to success.
This lead found me. He said he preferred to wait until he had a definite prospect. So there is good reason to hope this contact will lead to a project. We’ll see. No matter what happens, it’s great to hear from someone I met at CorkMeet 2009.
I hope the planners of CorkMeet 2010 are making progress.
