How To Make The Most Of Business Seminars?
All those people who are
going to attend a business seminar, I’d like ask a simple question: What
is your goal?
There are different benefits
& parameters one could focus on while attending a business seminar. Hence,
if your goal is not clear, you might perhaps lose the objective you’re
attending the business seminar for. Are you there for networking & making
connections with the smart people or for learning purpose? Maybe your goal is to
simply follow the important speakers during the seminar, until they perhaps
notice you!
To help one discover his goal,
I have mentioned certain types of specific personas below. They will be
extremely helpful for a person to choose what type of category will give him/her
optimal benefits from the business seminar. (And if you are attending IAM’s
BUSINESS SEMINARS 2014, you will be able to do a self-diagnosis & figure
out easily what your goal is thus making the most of the seminar)
So
find out which type of persona will suit the business occasion? Check out from
below list-
The Networker
Aim
= Connect with smart professionals
The networker’s aim is to
meet & make lasting associations with other professionals of the industry. Also
they may have a goal to meet & connect with the keynote speakers. Chances
are, these people have made enough connections via social media & have
connected to the attendees through the specific “conference hashtag” way before.
You’ll perhaps see this person talking to multiple groups during happy hour &
handing out his business cards.
The Sponge
Aim=
Learn
He is the person who’s there
at the business seminar to get the most information as possible. You will
probably see him juggling with this laptop, smartphone or a notebook & diligently
taking notes. Sometimes such an attendee’s biggest struggle is to decide which
seminar to attend (they are all so great!).
The Groundbraker
Aim
= Get inspiration
If you love watching TED
Talks regularly & Steve Jobs written by Walter Isaacson is your favorite
book then you might consider yourself as the groundbreaker or “innovator”.
These people attend business seminars to get inspiration & spark creativity.
Entrepreneurs & thinkers & problem solvers can fall under this category.
The Job Seeker
Aim=
Getting a job
Job seekers may have a
different set of goals for a business seminar. This also depends on his current
stage of job hunt. For instance, if one lies in the awareness stage then he might
simply listen & learn about various companies & jobs & therefore try
to connect with people for the same. One who lies beyond awareness stage, he might
have already made certain connections with the seminar attendees looking at
their profile through social media channels like LinkedIn or Twitter.
Therefore, business seminars would be the best place to meet those people in
personal & make an elevator pitch by presenting one’s resume or portfolio
& get a good job!
The Deal Maker
Aim
= Create business partnerships
The deal maker attends business
seminars & conferences with the aim of creating valuable business
partnerships. There can be several reasons like for co-marketing, sponsorships,
co-branding or speaking opportunities.
Beware of The Spy!
Aim
= Competitive intelligence
Such a person attends business
conferences solely to find out what his competitors are up to. What are their
strategies? What will be their next steps? How strong is the competitor’s hold
on market? (This can be judged by observing the number of audience & their
response attending the seminar)
Attending business conferences
by spies has been a popular sales enablement tactic. It gives the sales team of
the firm, useful insights to close additional deals.
Conclusion-
If you attend a business
seminar or conference choosing from the above 6 goals in mind, you’ll be able
to make the most of business seminars & become more productive.
Do you think you’ll fall
into one of the above categories during Indian Academy of Management’s (IAM)
seminars of 2014? Know
