my comment has nothing to do with what you asked, but people post the stupidest comments on my site that are hella long, so i'm just gunna do the same, cause i'm petty like that, hehe.

i hate assumptions.

at a networking event last night, with a trade organisation i just joined, people kept assuming things about me. we were doing the standard walk-around 30 second speil, give a card, say a line or two about your biz, and move on. it was for new business people (primarily company execs) who had just joined the organisation, as well as about 15-20 students who were going to be paired up with business people for mentoring.

almost every new person i started to talk to assumed i was one of those students. then after i explained i wasn't, they assumed my company was just me freelancing my personal skills (it's not). then they would verbally assume that my clients were tiny local businesses. they're not. last time i checked my portfolio included companies like futureshop, tsn, molson, playboy, 100s of professional athletes and several other big companies. i was still getting the look up and down from men in suits and then finding them looking around the room for someone more "businesslike" to talk to.

why did they assume these things? probably because i look young and because i wasn't wearing a suit and tie (i had on a nice dress sweater and slacks though, so i wasn't in jeans and a t-shirt).

at least i felt somewhat better when the head guy for the organisation, a supremely influential guy in vancouver, got up and spoke about why assumptions are bad in business, and how usually the people at networking events who are wallflowers or who aren't dressed in suits are either a) the most interesting people to talk to, or b) the most successful. while i'm neither of those things, at least it made people thing a bit more about being so shallow as to judge based on appearance.

i'm not so terribly niave that i don't know appearance doesn't count for a lot in business. i can't help looking young though. i also refuse to wear a suit because a) i don't own one, or even a tie and b) it reflects my approach to business endeavors and more strongly enforces the branding message of my company. i preach a lot to clients about efficiency and being straightfoward...that's the core of it.

i'm not going to pretend to be a salesman in a suit pitching some stupid product someone doesn't need (like FAR too many people were trying to do to me). it seems like the equivalent of being called at home by a telecomm, trying to be pitched on a new longdistance savings plan. i didn't ask them to call or give me a speech about why their products/services are good, they just launched into themselves, wasting my time. happens at networking events all the time. if it's me talking to someone there, i'll talk a bit about my company, and if there's interest, talk very briefly more specifically how it could work to solve a problem a client may have.

someone last night was telling me how she got roped into a 30 minute speech about CD rom business cards by a sleazy guy at the bar. this was supposed to be an executive level networking thing, not a salesmans pitch-party. if you take 30 minutes to explain a tangable product you're hawking, you shouldn't be networking. my company has no product and our services are completely different to every client within the scope of online development. still it takes me less than a minute to sum it up, give and get a business card, and move on.

for someone who talks a lot about being to the point, i sure can ramble sometimes eh? fuck...hehe. i don't even have a point with most of this, i just felt like grumbling. and now that i read over part of it, it just sounds like a big egotrip. oh well, i'll post it anyway.

wow, comments suck!
