I Saw You On Twitter

I was at a networking event the other evening when I reached out to shake hands with a new connection and I said, "I am Jeff Garrison."

She responded, "Yes, from Twitter."  She had sent me a direct message earlier in the week in regards to one of my Tweets.

We skipped the "what do you do "and "what company are you with" conversation.  We already had made a virtual connection.

Tell me it doesn't have business value. 

Tell me it is a waste of time. 

I don't care. 

You make cold calls. 

I'll make connections!
