Conference, industry conferences have been an unequaled networking success. They represent the opportunity for face to face introductions so you can later make a warm call. They also represent an invaluable opportunity to establish yourself as an industry or Subject matter expert. Ask questions designed to spark engagement and debate challange speakers and panelists in a professional manner-you will be remembered and will eventually become an insider with unpressidented opportunities to be quoted in articles, call upon by analysts, and if done right you become an authority. That's exctly the outcome I've had and it's been an incredible experience. Here is one thing that I strongly disagree with. Conference, industry conferences have been an unequaled networking success.

You should build up credibility with suppliers, so when you need better credit terms / flexibility they will be more willing to help you out. Too many Irish businesses seem to think that delaying payments is acceptable. It's not. Get over yourselves. Referring to Pat's original post: 1 - Company cars are a total waste of money. A company van might not be. 2 - Agreed. Why do you think we're in Carlow? :) 3.. Blogging can help, but shouldn't be self-serving.
