How to Work a Room

Successfully attending a business event doesn't mean just showing up. The work starts before you walk in.

What this course covers:

• Knowing why you're there and what goal needs to be accomplished
• Preparing for corporate functions, networking events, seminars, and community gatherings
• Getting ready to make face time with potential clients
• Preparing to represent yourself and your organization well

Walk into your next event with a plan instead of hoping for the best.

You're at a business function. Did you know that there's a proper way to wear a name tag? Or that there is appropriate etiquette to shaking someone's hand? What's the best way to naturally join a group of people already having a conversation? The event is serving buffalo wings. Do you eat them? We'll answer these questions and many more as we go over what to do and what NOT to do when attending a networking or business event.

You've attended the event. You've mingled. You avoided the hot wings. You met Marty's close-talker wife who didn't avoid the hot wings. You're done, right? Not quite. After all of the preparation and thought you've put into attending this event, you need to close it out with some follow-up. In this last program, we'll talk about what you need to do to leave a lasting impression on the connections you've met and talked with, and how to best continue those relationships.
