This is a great thread. Lotsa good info on deailing with projects and people.
Unfortunately, its thin on how to network and get the project.
I'm interested in networking on LinkedIn and online. I've read YGM's posts on how to leverage linkedin but its more on how to get a job in a company, not so much how to make a company your client if you're a web design/development shop (or one man shop).
I ask because I think Linkedin is good but its highly competitive. A lot of the sales people from other agencies and design shops are already in there with their premium memberships, messaging company CEOs and other decision makers.
I'm thinking a better use of my time would be to go to business networking events in my city and network in person - the old skool way.
Anyone successful in networking on LinkedIn?
