How to be Effective at Offline Networking Events
Hot Points From Today’s Show –
There is a time and consistency commitment to be effective. Don’t expect things to happen the first meeting. It can, and sometimes does, but don’t expect it.
Instead, have a plan for the next year to have real success with networking events in Direct Sales
Your first meeting and the flow – 30-60 seconds for your elevator pitch. BE prepared and don’t just wing it, or you will not make the type of memorable impact you want.
Remember – people do form an initial impression right away. Make it count!
The key to success are the 1 on 1 meetings you set up with those you meet. Set a goal for two a week, start with the meeting organizer. Ask who the movers and shakers are, and start your meetings there. Be bold.
Make that first one on one about building the relationship and don’t cram your business or products down their throat.
Ask them questions and learn how to be a good referral partner to them.
Don’t oversell.
Have a follow up plan for after that meeting – home party, hotel meeting, video overview, etc.
Be consistent.
Over time, you will get the chance to do a ten minute presentation of your business. The first time, showcase your products and mention that you are also looking for associates.
Create sales and customer loyalty, as well as testimonials with the products first. This can lead naturally to sponsoring. Remember, they are there to promote THEIR business first, and will first be interested in your products. And, then share the business!
This is me, at a recent event, and I sold $150 in products right on the spot and created a lot of further interest and one on ones.
Use Facebook to continue engaging and furthering the relationship. Take photos, tag, engage and see how often you can share your products in the group. Lead with the product publicly and share the opportunity in one on ones!
