350: Nick Gray on Creating Great Networking Events with a 2-Hour Cocktail Party
One of the best ways to grow your network, find investors and make deals is networking. And today’s guest has mastered the art of putting on a great networking event.
Nick Gray is the bestselling author of The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings. I’m a big believer in face-to-face events to help grow brands, recruit partners, and find deals, and Nick’s unique strategy makes these events even more powerful and productive.
In our conversation, Nick and I dig deep into how to host a successful networking event and how to market a great party that connects you to private capital. You’ll discover how to bring the party to you instead of going to a boring party, why saying “no sales” makes it so much easier to sell to great people, and the beauty of sitting back, listening, and asking questions.
