What They STILL Don’t Teach at Business School: “Working” the Black and White Party

by Larry Chiang on May 21, 2010

Larry Chiang is an instructional humorist and is as friendly as a fluffy all-black shih-tzu. What he lacks in book smarts, he more than makes up for in hustle and friendliness. He is not a Jedi but has predictive instincts stronger than Obi-Wan Kenobi when it comes to how a party will play out. Read this and the force will be with you too. After an HBS event, they wrote: “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School“. After a Stanford Women in Business Conference and BASES keynote, he accepted questions via text message while he was talking. He disproved the wisdom of Confucious in “What They STILL Don’t Teach at GSB About Getting Revenge” and revealed “What They STILL Don’t Teach You at Stanford GSB About Scamming”.

Now he uncovers, “What They STILL Don’t Teach at Business School: “Working” the Black and White Party“.

Congrats on getting that Black and White Ball ticket

Here are 5 things to expect

-1- It’ll be chock full o women.

Men do not don the penguin outfit even if it means the ratio is 2:1 in their favor. At Teach for America, there was a feeding frenzy. I have video proof here. If you’re a man and want ROI, buy a ticket and your cost per lead will be under market price. A lead in this case is a dude (if you’re mancharming) or a female (if youre prospecting for dates)

-2- Tony Bennett and KD Lang are Gonna have an AfterParty.

To the benefit of my twelve readers this week, you can use my cell number, 650-283-8008, or Facebook fan page and I will mentor you in how to get invited backstage. Who am I? A guy who goes from crasher to VIP back-stage at celebrity events. For money, I credit educated college students. I accidentally wrote the bestselling, tell-all book: What They Dont Teach You At Stanford Business School

-3- Host an AfterParty.

Remember, no one wants to go home at 1am so identify where your balls are and host something. If you want step-by-step procedure as to how to do it… Read TechCrunch here.

-4- Make Friends with Old People.

Older people in their 30s and 40s can be awesome. This event is chock full of great people. It is extremely great networking opportunity to get to know these people.

My mentor, Mark McCormack, who wrote the book, “What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School“.

-5- It is Very OK to Go Stag.

See tip #1.

-6- Stop Rock-Piling.

A rock pile is only hanging out with people you know

-7- Give Good Reviews.

I love people that are positive. Giving good reviews even if the food isn’t served at the perfect temperature.

-8- Tip 8 Five Dollar Bills.

Remember, because it is open-bar, tip on the very front end of the evening. Two people don’t tip well: MBAs and celebs.

-9- Jealousy Works in the Opposite Way that It is Supposed To.

Sure I read this on the back of a LaLaLime bag but it sure doesn’t make it less true

Chip in your questions in the comments!

I founded Duck9, which educates college student on credit cards and how to establish a FICO score over 750. I have testified before Congress and World Bank on credit.

My earlier posts include: How to Work The Room and 8 Tips On How to Get Mentored.

-BONUS FICO CREDIT TIP- Pay It Forward.

Cut and paste this blog article to your Facebook in a note. Tell other people about what you learned here. This POST IS NOT copywritten so cut and paste to pass this advice forward
The credit industry wants you dumb, stupid and in the dark. For example, the industry quotes the average FICO score to be 678 or even as high as 700+. The real average credit score is 585.

Snail mail is mail sent with a 41c stamp. BFF is ‘best friend forever’.

I have made millions steering people towards a higher FICO score. The absolute biggest secret is that postage paid, old school stamps preserve your credit rights. Remember, FCBA stands for “Fair Credit Billing Act” — not the Fair Credit Biatching Act. Yes, 800 number systems were set-up to short-circuit your rights because voicing a complaint does not document your problem in the eyes of the law (FCBA and FCRA –”Fair Credit Reporting Act”).
