Ask to be acquired?
dazzawazza: Business is about making contacts with people in the industry you are in.I would call the MD of the mega-corp and ask to have a meeting about potential business overlap and how you could work together. All very informal, no money talk or specifics. It's just to see if you could work with these people.You've already got a lot in common (business wise) with them so you'll find it a lot easier to talk to them then you imagine. If you arrange to meet for lunch it will give them a clue that it's a more informal chat then three hours around a board room table.Worst case you leave the office with a contact in the industry, best case it will lead to your fancy car.Good luck.
