Oh sorry yeah I should have clarified. There's one global networking group who are notorious for putting members under huge pressure to deliver leads constantly. They developed a system based on traffic lights to assess your worth to the group on a monthly basis. It's horrible and their excuse is that "it works". Well... punching yourself in the face constantly will also help you handle punches but is there another choice? According to them... nope. That kind of networking is insanely toxic. How I discovered this was that I was forced by an employer once to go to this group's meetings for a year and I hated it. Thankfully, I've found that there's a ton of much nicer groups around (often started by ex-members of the super toxic one).
