CEO at Executive Marketing Media, Media Talesh, has shared his 4 top tips to thrive at your next marketing event:
Be yourself
Networking events are a starting point for building relationships, and if someone isn't genuine then the relationship is starting with a lie. "The key is to stay true to yourself and not try to be the person you think others want to meet. The connections you make when you are genuine and authentic are the ones that will last," said Mr. Talesh.
Be engaged
When having conversations, it is imperative to be engaged - not only listening but also participating by joining in the conversation. Maintaining eye contact is vital to show interest, and these small things can go a long way towards making someone feel like you care, which helps to build rapport and trust.
Do NOT "work the room."
Media Talesh believes that working the room can be counter productive. "Don't try to meet as many people as possible, instead focus on making just a few solid connections," said Mr. Talesh. The firm encourages their employees to target a select number of people to talk to with the aim to establish meaningful dialogue and exchange contact details.
Don't be afraid to join in
For first time networkers, it can be an extremely intimidating environment which forces many people out of their comfort zone. "Don't be afraid to join in, while you don't want to talk over anyone, just wait for a natural break and then introduce yourself," said Mr. Talesh.
Executive Marketing Media works closely with Fortune 500 companies to deliver custom-made marketing campaigns which are personalized to suit the needs of their clients. The firm connects with consumers on a one-to-one level to encourage long-lasting business relationships between brand and consumer. At Executive Marketing Media they are committed to being the best, and they believe that networking is a fundamental element in developing and making continual progress.
