How would you attend “high-level” events in your city without being super rich?

Stop looking for short cuts and just get good.

Or just walk into marketing conferences, no one checks those fucking tags anyways.

I would look 1. Facebook events, 2. Join a athletic club of similar people- or golf club or whatever club. Try to go on the cheap, go for drinks not eats. try to find people who would take you as a guest to the events, but network outside of the events at the #2 places Good Luck. – oh I skipped over the join a church, join the local political party, – thats common advice too.

Get a job as a waiter/waitress for a catering company 🤣

I used to work at a golf course and, while it wasn’t the most prestigious, there were a few fat cats that attended the tournaments. But my dad played in and organized some charity tournaments that pulled in some big money and he has worked in his retirement on a private course that has some big names on it.

Now, they don’t want to talk business on the course. But after a few drinks after the dinner, they’d be chatty. So you have to play it cool. Don’t appear to be a leach looking for bait. Just be a friendly person who they enjoy being around and you might earn yourself a few friends. Then, network between them if possible. And sometimes they’ll mention someone looking for a guy… it doesn’t always pan out so don’t push them on it but ask for the contact or give them your card to pass along.
