When networking is not working

What to do when your networking events are taking you all your time and yielding little or no results. Well If I knew the answers I would be implementing them. The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results.

Most of the time folks are going to these events just to promote and transact their own business. They are never going to be a net-worker they are just prospectors in my opinion. True net-workers are giving referrals and connecting folks.

Please leave your comments and opinions below I would love to learn new tricks.
