It’s taken me a long time to realize this, but the best way to meet people is to coordinate events.  More specifically, if you are interested in meeting more of a particular type of people, then organize an event that would attract them.  For example, if you’re interested meeting entrepreneurs, organize an event for entrepreneurs headlined by successful entrepreneur key note speakers.  Most successful entrepreneurs love talking about their experiences and successes and are interested in mentoring the aspiring entrepreneurs.  And on the other side, aspiring entrepreneurs love (or should love) meeting people who have been there and done that.  There is a natural attraction that occurs between these two groups, and being the organizer, you will find yourself at the center of both.

Actions - What actions can be taken?
Benefits - What benefits will result?

So, say you need to come up with a thirty second pitch but you have no idea how to begin. You can use this format as an outline, hitting most of the important points right away.
