Networking in America


On this episode of the Made in America the young men are out playing basketball with a few other guys that they know and just trying to network. “Fun is a way of enhancing the brand experience and giving a good impression” The guys are playing the game and Cam decides to become a ball hog and not pass the ball over the Ben in which shows that there is not much teamwork going on between the team. The guys are leaving from the game and they run into an old friend that Ben knew from the past and Cam ran to the guy and started to network with the guy and Cam started to push a little for a meeting with the guy. They get to the meeting and they are referred to go to show their product to a Korean buyer that is only in town every six months. Once they go get their prototype for the pants Ben is not happy and he tells Cam to go to the meeting himself if he wants. Cam goes to the meeting and he walks in and says hello to a few guys there but not really the time for him to be shy , but Cam was not networking at this moment in time when it really counts and he should network with the fellow designers that could be in a better place than him and could really help in the give information on to do's and dont's to be able to make it happen. Cam is there and Ben walks in the shows that they are a team and that he is all the way into the team and is not going to give up and he apologized for leaving him in the first place. The best thing that Ben did to help with the Crisp line was the fact that he had on one of his own designs and the Korean buyer was interested more into the shirt that Ben had on. “The successful uptake of technology relies on people buying it, and technology takes time to be accepted by the masses” 
The buyer asked for a 300 item order by Wednesday of next week. Now the question is how to make this happen and which of their networks have worked out for the good? “Many new brands have succeeded by simply taking an existing product offer and repackaging it with extra and efficient services”
