Recently one of the organizers of an international women’s conference where I had spoken grabbed me to talk with one of the conference attendees – I’ll call her Felicia. I had no idea why I was asked to speak with Felicia, but as we chatted I learned that Felicia had come to the conference as a vendor in the marketplace. Because the marketplace wasn’t the focus of the conference, she was disappointed in her experience.
While it may be true that the conference could have done more to promote the marketplace, Felicia and I discussed a few networking tips that she could use during the rest of the conference to make the most of the experience.
So, the next time you are in a position to network, be sure you know what would be the best possible outcome of your Courageous ASK, be sure that you capitalize on opportunities to Represent your Product and Nurture Your Network by following up.
Network ON!
