ATL Networking Guide
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started." — Mark Twain
Howdy howdy!
Hope this email finds you well as well as energetic to get outside in the real world! As the weather gets better you can expect to see more networkers out on a rooftop exchanging cards. To make sure you don’t waste your time I have the events you want to focus on for true networking but there is some homework you should do first. Such as, asking yourself who is your ideal client? What industry do they work in? What is the average age or sex? Is your ideal client demographically based?
Walking into a networking event blindly and hoping to bump into a millionaire dollar business deal is a strategy built on luck… and luck is inconsistent. The professionals who see real results are intentional. They do their homework! They look at who’s attending, what the focus is, and whether their ideal client is likely to be in the room. When you choose events with purpose, you dramatically increase your chances of making meaningful connections instead of just collecting business cards. That is my challenge to you for the next three weeks…be truly intentional.
I’m off my soap box for now, here are the announcements in The Space!
The Space:
The community hit 2,700 subscribers just yesterday and I appreciate everyone to help spread the word. Another way to help is to take the quick survey if you have two minutes to spare as it helps me understand who is in the room and which events to focus more on.
Springtime is approaching which means more conferences and summits will be popping up soon. For all conference and summits visit the Conference Calendar page as you won’t see them on the list.
The Knowledge Desk is currently seeking additional contributors in finance and real estate. This opportunity requires a small investment to participate.

Random Fact: How did soap boxes become a saying? The figurative use of the word derives from the fact that soap products in the US used to be commonly transported to stores in large wooden boxes. It used to be common for individuals to give impromptu rally speeches to their neighbors by finding something to stand on like a soapbox.
The South Atlanta Business Exchange is built for professionals who are intentional about growth and ready to expand their circle with purpose. Attendees will gain meaningful connections, fresh opportunities, professional headshots, and direct access to local organizations and business leaders. Entrepreneurs, established business owners, corporate professionals, and ambitious creatives should be in the building! And those who are serious about turning conversations into collaboration. If you’re looking to plug into real momentum and leave with tangible value, this is where you need to be. Purchase early bird tickets while they last and see you soon!
