This is a YouTube video titled "Chamber Tip #6" (published 2023-07-12) containing a short, single-speaker business networking tip. The unidentified speaker (labeled SPEAKER A) advises on holding one-on-one meetings—e.g., grabbing coffee—to build trust, evaluate fit, and explore potential business relationships.
You need to have one-on-one meetings with the people you meet, and this is just essential. You know, attending regularly will give you the ability to meet people and be known, liked, and trusted, but when you really start to do business together, that's when you really know somebody. And so you're gonna wanna spend some time meeting with people one-on-one. Perhaps ask somebody that you meet if they have a few minutes before or after the meeting If you see the list of people that are coming before, if you don't, when you meet them there afterwards. Or what we recommend is, is that you say, "Hey, would you like to have a cup of coffee at Starbucks or another facility and just sit down and get to know each other and find out if there is a match here?" You can save yourself and the other person a lot of time if you get to know them first and then talk about how you can do business together. But it's a great way to do that, having one-on-one meetings. Make sure you do that.
