MNPA has got a new American BFF

This bank holiday weekend started with a great networking twist. Whilst having a drink (ok who am I kidding, several glasses) at one of Liverpool’s hidden gems, Studio 2, I found my new American BFF!

Now as we all know I can literally talk the leg of anybody so it should come as no surprise to any of you that after sinking a few I got chatting to two very lovely ladies from the states. They had come over here to see the Beatle mania and generally to have a jolly good nose about Liverpool.
Now if I am honest these two ladies looked very normal with just a hint of tourist about them (the fact they had an ‘I pad’ was a dead giveaway).

Maybe due to the several glasses of wine I had consumed, I simply didn’t catch on to the people they were talking about from back home and carried on suggesting  great places to eat and visit whilst here in sunny Merseyside...what can I say it is the PA in me?

Now as the evening sped on my friends ended up joining Carol and Audrey (my new American BFF’s) and we all got talking about our jobs, the joys or distains for them. Being Holly Wood I took centre stage and was going on and on about business networking (a mixer I believe it’s called in the States) and how everyone should always be on the look out to make good connections.

 Both of my new BFF’s handed me their cards which I shoved into my purse (ok, handbag am I getting too American on y’all yet?). Now after leaving these two very delightful ladies, it dawned on me that they seemed to know many famous bands on very personal terms, I delved into my purse and lo and behold, one of these two charming birds (I had been teaching them ‘scouse’ words I think ‘boss’ was their favourite) was the vice president for one of the world’s largest record labels...WOW!!

Now what a connection to make!

So networking can happen anyway, anywhere and at anytime .Connections can be made however big or small in the most usual of ways.

MNPA and my new American BFF’s are now in contact and you never know where it could lead. So folks always keep your business cards on you, and remember that one chance meeting could be the next client you’re looking for.
