There were thirty-some-odd business owners/professionals around the rectangle of folding tables. They were from a variety of professions, ranging from insurance and banking to clothing and cleaning services. Each, in turn, was taking 60 seconds to tell a bit about their business and who, or what type of referral, they would like help meeting: I would like an introduction to Tom Kelly, the owner of ABC Collision Repair; I would like an introduction to a co-worker who is struggling with weight loss; I would like an introduction to any friends who are planning graduation parties this year.
Then me: “I would like an introduction to someone you may know in management at the B company.”
Ooops.
