Networking vs Connections

Wow! The Moxettes are on fire about how different the ‘connecting’ element of The Moxie Exchange Movement’s meetings are from traditional networking group’s efforts. We’ve had powerful conversations and have built our meeting practices and tools around making meaningful business connections instead of fly-by-night networking.

Let me explain. Traditional networking is a little like a one night stand. It’s meaningless, unfulfilling, and leaves you feeling like you’ve be worked over. There you sit the next morning with a handful of business cards wondering why you bothered in the first place. Very occasionally (and I do mean very) something worthwhile comes of the effort.

On the other hand, making meaningful connections is a little like dating. You take the time really really find out what the other person is all about, what their wants and needs are, and if you’re compatible. After you’ve gotten to know each other, you start introducing one another to friends and family. The same is true of meaningful business connections. Once I know you, understand what you do, and understand where you fit into the bigger picture, I can really begin to help you move forward by connecting you to resources, people and ideas that will matter to you.

We’re all about connections at Moxie.
