Leslie,
I don't see the issue as "selling" vs. offering free service. Rather how,
as an interdisciplinary group of professionals, are we to work together
for a presumably common goal?? In gathering a group of people together,
some of whom will ultimately be working as a team, it is certainly
necessary to get to know each other: personal styles and skills to find a
good working group. However, from Norma's description, it seems that some
folks were going beyond polite social discussion to more hard-core
promoting themselves. Reversing the situation - There are attorneys who
are members of my Financial Planning Assoc. chapter. I certainly want to
know who they are and their area of practice so I can refer clients who
may need their services (estate issues, etc) But if they got to the
point of "annoying" in trying to promote themselves at a meeting that is
intended for another purpose - that would not be welcomed. There's a
difference between getting to know each other and "working the crowd" . I
was responding to Norma's description of what sounds like "working the
crowd". That's a problem if it is not welcomed by others.
Regards,
Vicki
