Wrote off the $10 lunch meetup at a Coney on Woodward, but the guy next to me at the counter got me three referrals | Detroit Business Networking - nhfree.com
The free lunch almost never pays off. Most times you sit down with a stranger, eat a soggy coney dog, and listen to a 45 minute pitch about crypto or life insurance. Three referrals off one random counter guy is a total fluke, not a system. If you start writing off every $10 lunch thinking it will turn into leads, you will just be broke and full of chili. The smart move is to assume every cheap meetup is a waste of time and be shocked when it isn't.
