Hot take: the $45 breakfast at that Corktown diner did more for my pipeline than 2 months of coffee meetups
I've been doing the usual Detroit networking grind for a while now. Chamber mixers, LinkedIn groups, grand openings in Midtown, all that. Met a ton of people, collected a stack of cards, got almost zero real work out of it. Last month a guy I barely knew invited me to a 7am breakfast at a diner in Corktown with four other owners. No pitch, no agenda. Two of those guys sent me referrals inside three weeks. I think the smaller table just makes people actually talk instead of working the room. Got another one of these Thursday and I'm bringing a real problem, not a sales line. Has anyone else had better luck with tiny early morning groups than the big evening events?

Tbh the 7am part is what does it, nobody's there to network when they're still half asleep.
