The 2 minute rule at the Detroit Young Professionals meetup got me 3 solid leads
Honestly I used to dread those networking mixers because I'd waste time chit chatting with people who weren't even in my industry. Last month at the Detroit Young Professionals event at the Madison building I tried something different. I gave myself a 2 minute timer per person. If they didn't mention something about manufacturing or supply chain within that time I moved on. Ended up talking to a guy from a tooling shop in Warren and two logistics coordinators. First time I walked away with actual phone numbers instead of just business cards I'll never call. Has anyone else tried setting a hard time limit at these things?

Honestly I used to think that sounded too pushy but you proved me wrong.

That "too pushy" thing reminds me of my aunt telling me to be more assertive...
