It’s great that you went to the event! I used to be painfully shy, but nowadays I go out to events by myself oftentimes and end up meeting a lot of great people. The more you go out and enjoy the company of others, the more you somehow forget about being afraid. =) Seems like she had some great tips!

Great write up of a fun evening Patrick! It was good to finally meet you too. Its funny; I felt the same way walking into the room as I hadn’t met anyone else there either. You have a great memory remembering all the names and details!

I think bringing goodies is good if you are a skilled tradesman like Cliff- for the rest of us make sure you bring a business card.

Good lessons. Surprisingly I did all that except for Bring goodies and Make an appointment (how can i miss the birthday boy haha) when I went for my friend’s 21st birthday 2 weeks ago hahaha. The only person I knew at the party was the birthday boy and instead of being quiet and shy I decided to be fearless and I ended up having a great time and made friends, and I added them all on fb the day after shall try the other tips if i go to some networking event next time.

Ya man- make sure you have cards and don’t feel like you all have to talk about just SEO. Brush up on the day’s news so if there’s a lull you can say, “hey did you hear about Sarah Palin’s…”
