I thought the Expo had a great buzz about it. It was great meeting lots of likeminded business people all keen to share their time, knowledge and experiences with one another. I thoroughly look forward to meeting the contacts I made again soon, so we can share more advice and hopefully make some great referrals to eachother as well.
If you would like to know what inspired me to take photo's of everyone yesterday, well I had read an article about being an effective networker, in summary these were the pointers:
- Create a good first impression
- Be prepared - know what you want to get out of the day
- Build relationships - ask questions and listen to find out what you have in common
- Stand out from the crowd
- Give something back - share something useful that you know
- Be a Connector - introduce people who you think will benefit from knowing eachother
- Don't be shy
- Keep in touch
It would be really nice to know what you thought of the event too and if you would like to promote your products and services on my blog please feel free.

Hi Helen
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea to take these photos and doesn't everyone look happy! It was a great day, exhausting. Haven't done that many massages in one day for a long time.
Thank you Kathy, yes I agree there was a great buzz at last week's Worcester Expo and I think that is all down to the smiley exhibitors and delegates at the event. Us Worcestershire folk are a jolly nice bunch and I'm sure we're all great for doing business with as well :-)
