What’s your Networking Strategy?

July 30, 2012 by Consider It Dunn Strategic Connections Leave a Comment

Recently, I was invited to an “Olympic Sized Networking Event”. Even for a networking pro like me, that was an overwhelming image. My immediate vision was of the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics and moving through that crowd, working to find my ideal connections – Whew! The event organizer was being topical – Summer Olympic season is upon us – and inventive – she definitely caught my attention.

But did the event align with my networking strategy? This event invitation gave me pause to reflect on what we need to consider when determining the best networking events for our strategy.

Some of the questions we consider for our clients:

Who is my best connection at this time (client, vendor or strategic alliance partner)? Who do I want to meet?
How does the event’s purpose align with my business’ goals and values?
What is the total time commitment for successful participate at this event (preparation, attendance, follow-up)?
Is this a new event (new concepts/new people, but unproven entity) or an established event (maybe same people, but proven concept)?

And the most important question for business professionals and entrepreneurs:

What’s my Networking Strategy?

We’ll explore this concept more soon. In the meantime, please share with us…

What do you think about when deciding to attend a networking event?

January Jig: Event Strategy #1

January 10, 2012 by Consider It Dunn Strategic Connections 1 Comment

Have you ever attended an event and thought, “How did they do that?”, “Love that presenter!” or “I want to be part of a great event.” I’ll share a great post at 3pm that develops these comments and gets to the heart of “Why do I want to host-speak-sponsor-participate in an event?”

Events give you (and your cause) visibility! Networking boosts your connections at events as host, attendee, sponsor or speaker. Consider these keys:

Have a project management approach to your event: focus on goals, budget & timeline.
How do you want your attendees to feel while at your event?
A strategic & well-planned event can boost your ability to connect with people.
You can share your knowledge and establish you as an expert in your field.
Events give visibility to a cause or passion that you want other people to support.
Successfully promoted/managed events use a strategic combination of social media platforms and timing.
Consider which are the best events at which to host, speak, sponsor or network to increase your visibility.

Thanks to Idea Girl Media for a fabulous January Jig Event!!
