Connecting with Influence™

Sweaty palms. Dry mouth. Butterflies. Is it time to leave? Isn't networking fun?

As a guest we often forget that we contribute to the success of an event. Many of us spend time the day of an event thinking about how much we don't want to go and how soon we can leave. And we haven't even arrived yet!

As a host, corporate hospitality starts from the moment that a client or potential client dials your number, visits your website, enters your office or receives an invitation. Your goal is to have them feel valued and welcome. Nowhere is this more vital than at corporate receptions and networking events. You and your colleagues are essential ingredients to the success of any occasion.

Some of the topics discussed include:

  • Host and guest responsibilites
  • Preparation required
  • Recommended attire
  • The importance of an RSVP
  • Entering a room with confidence
  • Introductions and handshakes
  • Conversation; in, out and what to talk about!
  • Remembering names, nametags
  • Food and alcohol

It's all about being prepared, having expectations and communication!
