Spilling my drink at an Edmonton networking event solved a client problem in a weird way
The mess led to a chat about stain removal that showed we both needed the same supplier, and we teamed up right there.

Read an article once that called this "accidental networking." The idea is that unplanned, messy moments can break down formal barriers way faster than a standard elevator pitch. It's why some of the best connections feel like happy accidents.

Edmonton's networking scene is tighter than people think, so finding common ground over a spill isn't that unusual. Lots of local businesses use the same few suppliers for things like stain removal. I'd just double-check that supplier's service area covers both your needs before committing. These chance meetings can work out, but a quick background check saves headaches later.
