Today I'm going to share my secret tips for how you can triple your results from attending live conferences and events.   You see, while I really love getting up on stage and sharing my message, I get really uncomfortable off of the stage.

But maybe events like these, the ones that require you to make small talk, bring you more anxiety than excitement. If you spend the week anticipating and worrying because you know you will feel uncomfortable, you’ve set yourself up for failure. Ask thoughtful questions, and then follow up. You’re invited! Get your mind right.

Networking events can be intimidating, exhausting, and somewhat frustrating – just by pure nature. However, all of these feelings are exasperated if you don’t seem to get what you need out of the event.

Make sure that you take professional business cards with you to the networking event. Cheap and nasty cards reflect badly on your business. Remember that direct selling is not the purpose of a networking event. Following-up is a crucial part of the networking process.

Doing a good job at follow-up is a piece of cake. If you don’t make a sale right away, you calendar them for the next follow-up and do the same thing again. So why is follow-up such a problem? If you don’t set aside reserved time for follow-up, it will never happen. Pretty straightforward, isn’t it?
