Create your own business opportunities

There is close to convention business with an open mind?

Have you ever noticed some businesspeople display a particular expo business as being "beautiful", while others thought "it was not worth their time?" Have you ever wondered how there can be these two opposing points of view and, above all, how can you put in first class next time?

Let us first consider the people who thought the show was a waste of time and money. Most likely, they walked along the corridors vendors thinking: "This is not for me, not for myself, not for me ..." It 'very easy habit to get yourself into.

The habit of these other negative is that participants adhere strictly to their friend and not groped to meet other business people. Once the negativity in the set, it would be impossible for them to attract others to their service, meet people in the media, take advantage of an interview or in contact with the speakers to find out how in the future, could become the next entrepreneur to speak.

Your attitude and approach to every business function are of utmost importance. First, like the little engine that could, say to yourself: "I think I can." Next, you need to say: "I know I can." From this point on, creative thinking on how to address business functions will catapult you to a new level. Let's look at how this is possible with a company convention.

Are you:

Locate suppliers, which are the exact target audience and to visit first?

Proceed to visit the rest of the suppliers

Connect with speakers to listen to their background

Exchange of information with the participants at breaks or when lined up next to them

Take advantage of unexpected opportunities, such as impromptu interview

Talk to the organizer of the event to determine if it could be a speaker next time

Seek support for your business

Let me give you some examples of how I reached these elements. I was a supplier to a business expo. The stand cost money and the hotel cost a lot more money. I sold one book. From the point of view PandL, has been a disaster. However, I have attended in-depth sessions to learn new ideas. The most important thing, I scheduled an hour after the event organizer to explore ideas of how we can work together in the future. In the process, my mentor for 1 ½ hours, his time was worth far more than the initial costs.

On the second expo, I presented my work at various levels - the sales training for businesses, sales curriculum for learning-based companies
to add to their repertoire, my book on the purchase;
to include in my book stores suppliers; articles
sellers of magazines, and I grabbed the opportunity to interview webtv.com. In the event a creative approaches, I have created many more opportunities to "sell my services."

Using your attitude "I do" and a willingness to meet the others at all levels, it increases exponentially the way we do business and with whom they conduct business. The more creative you can be present in the service, the larger the network becomes. You will find:
Others become attracted to you
Applications will continue to talk with you
Referrals will come your way

I learned a new approach to business expo I attended. The announcer was saying that women must learn to say they made their awards and the reasons that present themselves as experts in their field. Many of us have been taught by our parents, not to boast. But as teenagers say, "get over it!"

That day, I began to tell others, "I was a top-seller-13 production and licensing company sales conquering my career years, and now train others the secrets of my success."

The above statement is completely true. It apparently does not seem to brag to others. Instead, my listeners asked if they could call me. They followed with scheduled meetings and also provided high-level references in companies that would not otherwise have received.

In closing, I challenge you to attend the next business function with a "I can attitude", and an open mind and creative. If you do, too, will derive benefits far better than they have up to now. I want to go back to your office to tell yourself, "I knew I could!" ......
