Meet people, rule the world August 31, 2007
Posted by Niels in : Work , trackbackHaving spent the past year approaching thousands of drunken girls in bars all over the world, corporate networking events are now a piece of cake. Having a name tag that says, “Pick Up 101″ in big letters doesn’t hurt, either.
I attended the Northwest Internet Advertising Group’s mixer tonight and had a great time. Highlight of the evening: meeting a guy who started a disposable vibrating cock ring business three years ago in his garage and is now selling 500,000 units a month, partnered with Trojan, and on the shelves at Walmart.
One thing I learned - I think I’m going to get back to my idea of developing a curriculum to bring social training to the business world. Everyone I talked to tonight thought Pickup 101 was an amazing company that makes the world a better place, but if all I’m doing is one-on-one coaching with a romantic focus, I don’t have much to offer the people I meet. I need to develop a curriculum so I can speak on social development and maybe get a gig out of my next networking event.
I tried to find as many people as I could tonight who started their own business. I asked them all how they got their first customer, and everyone said the same thing. Networking.

I’m still interested in hearing more about Pick Up 101 and the social development idea. I think a lot of people could benefit from something like that, although they probably wouldn’t realize it.
