Going to Las Vegas Networking Events is a great way to meet new people and network with other like minded individuals for your business. Below are the Top 10 events that I love going to and I hope to see you at one soon!
The Problem We All Face:
People buy from people that they know, like, and trust. If any one of those factors is off then doing business with that person becomes an uncomfortable process that is like trying to fit a circle peg into a square hole.
The Networking Solution:
They say that a meeting is not successful unless you book another meeting. Networking events should serve as a way for you to learn enough about a few people in order to book a 1 on 1 meetup with them to see if there’s a fit for each of your businesses.
Only 2% of sales are made on the 1st interaction with someone but about 60% of sales are made after the 4th interaction with someone so building relationships with others is key.
I included the most common outcomes that usually occur after I meet with someone over time.
Top 5 Networking Event Outcomes:
1.) Client: They buy a produce or service from you one time or on an ongoing basis since they have a need and see the value in what you’re offering.
2.) Referral: They know someone that can benefit from what you’re offering and spread the word to friends, family, or co-workers.
3.) Business Partner: They become a part of your business or you become a part of theirs in a way that is mutually beneficial.
4.) Friend: You both value the relationship that has been built but may not see a fit with the products or services that you offer (at least not right now).
5.) None Of Above: Sometimes it’s not a fit for anything above and you part ways. You’ll know you’re dealing with a professional when they have the courage to respectfully let you know instead of ignoring you!
