4. To share ideas with others - This is basically the other side of the previous goal. When you first arrive, introduce yourself to the host. Tell them of your expertise and give them permission to introduce others to yo
I bet you can't tell me how leadership training and strategic planning work together to boost business results and energize performance improvements.A recent survey of 1000 managers conducted by the UK-based Chartered Management Institute, revealed that organizations experienced, "improved business performance when [their leadership] development [programs were] linked to [their] business [strategic plann
First, determine your motivation(s) for going to the event:
1. To be "seen"
2. To meet new people
3. To get information from others
4. To share ideas with others
5. To get known
6. To sell others your product / services
Different goals require different approaches:
1. To be "seen" - This is the easiest goal to achieve. Basically walk around, smile at people, and talk to people that you know or who approach you first. You're passively attending the event.
2. To meet new people - Here's a secret: everyone who goes to networking events wants people to talk to them. Go up to people who are by themselves. Ask them about their business and non-business interests. Share something of interest about yourself. You're trying to find people who you "connect" with. Smile. When you've met someone of interest, get their contact information and follow up.
3. To get information from others - Think of the event as a big informational interview. Introduce yourself to the host, and tell them that you're looking to talk to people who might have answers to your questions. The host's introduction will smooth the opening, and the "experts" will be flattered to be sought out. Make sure to thank the experts after the event with an email or (even better) a hand-written note.

Preparing for a career in health administration is pretty easy if you have a plan and just follow your plan. However, if you don’t know how to get to your end goal you will feel confused and lost much of the time and very well won’t find your way to the career of your dreams.

All of us in business are constantly thinking of ways to stay ahead of our competitors, but what actually is competitive advantage? Many strategy specialists discuss competitive advantage and the need for it in business, yet very few of them actually define the term. The difficulties in finding a suitable definition may simply be the result of competitive advantage meaning what it is; i.e. an advantage in terms of co

When designing a new marketing plan involving promotional products or gifts, it’s important to plan out a strategy ahead of time. All too often, a business owner or marketing department latches on to the idea of giving away a gift as a promotion, but fails to do the planning that would build the promotional strategy from a nice idea into a marketing powerhouse.

One of the competitive advantages quick-serves have long enjoyed is customer convenience due to the shorter cook times and the ability for the customer to pick up their food in a drive-thru or drive-in. That’s no longer the case. I recently passed a full-service restaurant that had a drive-thru for call-ahead and pickup orders. While it might sound crazy, it’s not that far-fetched. With so many full-service resta
4. To share ideas with others - This is basically the other side of the previous goal. When you first arrive, introduce yourself to the host. Tell them of your expertise and give them permission to introduce others to you. You'll be helping the host provide a useful service (other than simply greeting) and also establish yourself.
5. To get known - There's an advertising axiom that says you need to see the same ad 7+ times before it's in your consciousness. It's also true at business events. While you only have one chance to make a first impression, consistent following-up with people will result in being recognized. To get known, you need to repeatedly show up to events. You don't have to talk to the same people each time (simply being "seen" is often enough), but do make it a point to remember something about your last conversation with them. People like to be remembered. Follow up with people you've met (for the first time) with an email or note.
6. To sell others your product / services - Many people go to events to find a new customer. Think back to all the events you've gone to. How many times have you talked with someone and thought "I need to buy that NOW"? Instead of hard-selling yourself, tell stories about people who've used your products or services. Highlight the benefits. Tell how you solve their problem. Offer to send them marketing materials. You might introduce yourself to the host, and ask them for an introduction to someone who might benefit from your product / service. A "warm" introduction is much better than a "cold" one.
