[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is almost never a good idea. Successful people are wildly busy with zero time. Asking them to speak to someone for whom they have no existing job, is a waste of their time and a waste of the person's time. It also forces them to either be rude to you and say no, or feel over burdened and resentful. Please dont do this. A better alternative is to ask someone if they ever have need for xyz service, will they let you know, as you have a great contact who you'd love them to meet. That allows them to either say 'sure thing' or say 'oh i'd love to meet them now'. [/quote] There is never anything wrong with asking someone to have coffee to talk about their career and line of work. It's 30 minutes, suck it up. Or rather, tell your "important" husband to suck it up. We all know you're just annoyed because your husband had to miss dinner again last night.[/quote]
