Hollywood Insider Help by Nancy Fulton | How to Create a Hollywood Entertainment Industry Business Network

You need a business network within the entertainment industry that will actively help you find the people who actually want to buy what you sell.

You learn how to find networking events that lend themselves to making real connections, how to meet people at events, how to introduce yourself to a group, and one-on-one, so people remember you kindly, how to reach out to people after an event comfortably, how to give people leads, and how to accept leads from others graciously and without obligation.

Show Notes

Only people have money to buy things. Whether it’s an independent producer with funds to purchase your screenplay, an investor with money to put into your film, a studio exec shopping for a book or podcast to license, or a director looking to hire an actor . . . only humans ever pull the trigger on purchasing things.

That means you need a business network within the entertainment industry that will actively help you find the people who actually want to buy what you sell. In this event you learn the art and science of building and entertainment industry network swiftly, comfortably, and cost effectively.
