The Smelly Fish Technique for Organising SEO Meetings

[4eyes]

Trying to organise a bunch of SEOs to do anything in unison has been described as 'trying to herd cats'.

You can't do it.
Cats won't be herded.

What you can do is throw a load of smelly fish where you want the cats to assemble, and if the fish are smelly enough you'll be beating cats off with a shitty-stick.


So, here is 4Eyes' 'Smelly Fish' technique for getting a meeting off the ground.

Don't post in a forum asking for 'suggestions' on a good date and venue - you'll end up with as many suggested dates and venues as there are members of the forum. No consensus will be reached and no meeting will happen

Instead get in touch with 4 or 5 mates that you know will be up for a meeting and agree a venue and date with them, making sure the agreed venue includes good food and drink.

Now post in the forum with your 'pile of smelly fish', being the promise of some good beer, a decent restaurant and a guaranteed group of attendees.

Thats it.

Now you have no excuses, right?

Worst that can happen, 4 of you have a great meal and get drunk.


Best that can happen is that you get loads of kudos for being an ace organiser and people buy you beers all night.
