I especially like the elevator pitch comparison between, “I sell business insurance” or “I help businesses prevent disasters.” Making it memorable is what it's all about at these first meetings.

I don't tend to go to events to work the room and make 50 connections. I'd prefer to make five connections to people I actually care about talking to and with whom I can build on the relationship. That being said, I realize that most people attend networking events in order to network as you've described above and I definitely need to hone those skills. I've found this post to be very informative. This is an excellent post. I don’t tend to go to events to work the room and make 50 connections.

For someone new to a lot of the 'freelance business' things, like networking, this sort of straight-forward advice is exactly what I need to learn and employ. Bookmarked for re-reading later on and inspiration, thanks once again! Carl, this is brilliant advice!

Some people do not really know how to network. The tips you mention will only help us, and hopefully, grab us business deals. “I sell business insurance” or “I help businesses prevent disasters.” This is a classic example. It shows the human side of yourself, rather than just a 'salesman'. People can relate to the latter sentence, but not the former. Great Tips. Some people do not really know how to network.
