If you are a net worker and want to become more efficient on meeting the right people, well then let me suggest not being the first person at the event or party. You see it makes sense to let the crowd sort itself out first. You can allow the shameless sales people and hardcore party pitchers to make their sales spiels and let the party separate into groups.
Then when you come in some folks will be bored talking with the same people they talk to each week and the party crashers, free food groupies and shameless sales people will have separated you see? Then a quick glance of the room and a few one liners with the host and you will see exactly who is worthy to talk with and which group will come find you anyway later on.
Without trying to sound rude, I think it necessary to lay out the reality. How do I know this? Well in my life I have gone to networking meetings in communities in 23-states and over 100 cities and most of these human get togethers are quite similar and now when I walk in a room it is fairly obvious to immediately tell who is who and with a little practice I am certain you can too.
Not by what they wear, but rather by how they stand, what they say and the wisdom they purvey. I hope this article does not piss you off or upset you, you will learn with time if it does and someday you will agree with me and understand. Be well and have fun networking take my advice if you will and I ask that you consider this in 2006.

Many people join a work marketing opportunity with expectations planted deep within them by their sponsors to be millionaires in a very short period of time. While this is the approach so many sponsors make the mistake of taking, it usually results in disappointments and giving up. One reason is that this approach has the tendency to attract unfit prospects. These prospects are the ones who want it all right now. What they don't realize, is that it will take a good four to six months to really see impressive results. The "3 Foot" and "When in Doubt, Blurt it Out" rules are likely to attract prospects who are not ideal candidates for your opportunity.
