Shownotes

Are you heading out to a big event, conference, convention, association meetup, or summit like Web Summit?

Then you don't want to miss this episode as our host, Diane Rolston, covers her tips for pre, during, and post event success. She is recording from the Web Summit podcasting booth after interviewing amazing female founders, and she's sharing exactly how to get the most out of any event based on her experience as energy levels, goals, and business needs change.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

  • PRE-EVENT: How to use conference apps strategically, finding the right people to connect with and crafting your one-chance connection message
  • The napkin vs. bib approach: why "here's my business, book a call" messages get ignored and what actually works instead
  • How to organize your schedule before you arrive
  • Why you must define your goals and intentions before going: Diane's two reasons for attending Web Summit and how clarity creates better ROI
  • DURING THE EVENT: The time and energy management strategy
  • The connection tool everyone misses
  • The photo strategy that gets speakers' attention: taking selfies, sending them on LinkedIn with context, and why event coordinators love seeing this
  • POST-EVENT: The three-part follow-up strategy most business owners completely waste
  • The 10-24-7 rule
  • The 12-3-1 implementation framework
  • The quote card story: how Diane went from idea to finished product during a workshop break by messaging her Virtual Assistant in real-time

The ninja tip? Don't implement everything yourself. Message your Virtual Assistant during the event, add tasks to your project management tool as you hear ideas, and get things done while others are still taking notes.
