Default Networking?

Maybe this is the wrong area.... Open to a mod moving if necessary, though the "what do you do for a living" thread existed peacefully in our 991 space, so hopefully all is good.

Have we ever tried networking within rennlist? It seems like many of us are self employed...if I needed an IT consultant or contract attorney for instance, I might as well look in my Porsche community first.

Thoughts? Any interest in a thread explaining what you do, and how you can help--perhaps at a discounted rate--for fellow 991 owners?

Or am I way off here.... (BTW, I did think of the vendor section, but it seemed mostly B2C auto related. And rightly so, but not sure this would work there.)

Why don't you create a LinkedIn private group?

+1 ^^

I second that something like LinkedIn private group would be better-suited for such networking... Keeping in mind that RL and some other boards are all owned by IB, and in the business of making money off of said "networking," I can't imagine that lines wouldn't get crossed somewhere along the way. So start a private group in LinkedIn, where requests to join are vetted against this board (or other) memberships.

I like the idea.

Brilliant idea. No better way to network than with like-minded individuals. I just requested to join.

This thread just brought me in from the cold, as it were! Sorry for the poor profile pic, didn't have a chance to do proper honors to my first 911 (2012 C2S).

Sent a request to the linkedin group.
