So yesterday Fast Track Girl sent me an email.
Fast Track Girl:
Hey...I need a date tonight...Here's the scoop:
From the tradeshow we met a guy who has a concept he's launching and shared with us how it all happened. Laurin and I spent an evening with him sharing business experiences, etc.
He just called, he's here tonight for a magazine launch party for some friends who just published a Phoenix magazine.I don't have all the details first hand but he's invited us to go.
It's near the airport (or at the airport? Which seems odd), I don't know the time yet. I just called his cell but got voice mail, so it's all kinda up in the air right now. He said he would need to know if we're going so he can leave passes at the door for us to get in.
It's a great networking opportunity, we could learn some things and maybe make some connections for business in the future. Wanna go?
Prlinkbiz: Did someone say party? Let me make sure I've got Grey's Anatomy Tivoed and tell me where to be and when to be there!
So we drive to the Scottsdale Airpark, and we could not believe it...it was a huge fabulous party in the airplane hangar!
POST magazine is a Phoenix based upper class magazine about sports figures and their lifestyles. It's very well done, and now they are going national! It just so happened that the man who invited us is good friends with the editor/co-founder! It was a blast- even though we had no idea we were going such a big event! (I orignally had a dress on, but changed into jeans at the last minute thinking I might be over dressed!) We met some amazing people- there were sports figures, team owners, hot guys and celebrities everywhere.
Business lessons? Connectors will connect you (thats what we do!), always be ready to get out there and meet people, and make sure you brush your hair and put on bling before you go...
