10 Tips for Live Events = Guest Post by Keith Wellman

I’ve been going to live seminars since I was 11 years old,
when my parents got heavily into Amway.

All throughout junior high school, most of the kids were home
watching “Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island” on Saturday nights,
and I was at seminars and rallies and soaking up the
“motivational speaker” energy.

That translated into 100 hours of Post-Graduate continuing education per year
in the field of Health Care, as well as a passion for knowledge.

I have been to countless seminars in the past 30 years,
and it’s often common for people to have no sense of people skills
whatsoever, and be completely oblivious of others around them,
especially when they are “excited” about something.

Internet Marketer and Online Entrepreneur Keith Wellman
has some tips on how to BEHAVE at live events:

10 tips that will be helpful to you while attending a live event…

1.) Set goals for yourself before attending the event.

2.) When talking to someone new, ask them non-business
related questions as this will open them up and make
them feel more comfortable around you…

3.) If someone is in the middle of a conversion, do
not interrupt the conversation or butt in mid sentence…
Just wait till that individual has a free moment to
introduce yourself…

4.) Buying a drink for someone can do amazing things :)

5.) Do some research on the speakers… Know who is
going to be there and what they have going on…
It is great to look up the speakers on facebook, twitter,
squidoo, or myspace to find out about their personal lives
and interest… These findings are great conversation
starters…

6.) Be Prepared… (business cards, notepad, laptop…)

7.) Have a positive attitude and be someone who you
would want to approach.

8.) If you have a product, bring a few copies, however, don’t
push it to hard. Focus more on planting a seed and building
a relationship first…

9.) Be memorable and be sure to make a lasting impression…
(Take pictures with people you meet… When you follow up
with people you can send them a copy and ensure that
they remember you :)

10.) Follow up - after the event be sure to contact
all the new connections you made letting them know you
enjoyed meeting them…
