Very Difficult to Get a Good Read about Someone at a Networking Event

I love attending networking events. I enjoy meeting new people. Most everyone is there for the same reason, to grow their business. Unfortunately, there are some that only attend events to see who and what they can get out of whoever is there, not to contribute to others.

I happened to be at a networking event recently and was approached by a couple of people, a real tag team. They talk about their business, some sort of pyramid marking thing, I don’t even recall what it was. They never asked me what business I was in, I would have thought that might have been a good idea, but not these guys, they were on a mission.

They wanted to know if I satisfied with everything I wanted out of life. I told them NO, I wanted much more and will continue searching for the ANSWER. Bingo, we have your answer. You need to join, whatever it is and then your life will be fulfilled.

What I learned from these two, they have the meaning of life. How fortunate they are. I guess I will just have to keep searching.

I asked if there was a signing bonus. They wanted to know what I meant. I told them if I was going to sign on, I required a signing bonus, otherwise it would be too much work. After that they couldn’t figure out how to excuse themselves and get away from me.
