Meeting Andy through a connection at UF has helped me learn more about the technical side of running my business and growing it. Andy and I stay in contact with friends on a consistent basis. Considering Andy is a technical expert in IT technology specifically in Marketing, and completing an MBA while combing that with IT experience has brought a groundbreaking area of information for me to grow and learn from his knowledge. Combing my own talents with his and having a broad, strategic positioning for the company, compiling long term growth has been beneficial in our meeting. We both provide each other with different business ideas, that our trade off.
Market Expert: Harry Thomas
Working as a market research analyst in the IT sector has helped me grow as well. Harry works for a similar IT company as mine, that is how we met. and have stayed in contact with meetings. and has habitually placed himself with difficult tasks and has great technical experience to fill me in with company initiatives.
Supplier William Upchurch
Working in Jax, Fl where supply chain and logistics is huge. Has provided Will with great experience and has been able to provide me with valuable info to gain in starting my business. William and I were friends at a prior institution.
All of these people have different backgrounds. So facilitating them in my company will provide great exposure through diversity.
Yes this has shaped how I will pursue networking opportunities by providing differentiation within my connections.
I wonder if Will Upchurch is related to Upchurch the "Redneck" rapper! Lol, anyway, I think your contacts were with really useful people. It will be so useful to your business to already have contact with IT-ers. I reached out to a few people that I had no actual connection to, and then one high school friend. I think its good how you wrote about how each connection has a trade of information with you.
