ROBB ASKED TO SPEAK AT ISES-OC JANUARY 18 MEETING
Join MPIOC for one of our most popular annual events – SPEED NETWORKING! This is an opportunity to create new business alliances, save time and increase productivity and revenue for all participants.
The uniqueness of PRETEND CITY lends itself exceptionally well to our goal of providing a variety of settings for planners and suppliers to discuss business opportunities in a manner where they can be heard, understood and speed on to the next. PRETEND CITY has many twists, turns and creative alcoves where we will feature several different style set-ups for you to discuss your new partnerships.
HOW IT WORKS – Planners remain stationary, set comfortably for the duration of the networking time where they may interact with suppliers. Every 3 – 5 minutes, suppliers will be cued to move on to the next planner. Suppliers will have pre-printed questions that are both fun and business related to keep the dialogue moving in a productive manner.
BENEFIT TO PLANNERS – This event is a way for you to save time meeting suppliers with whom you will do business and to also quickly and warmly inform those with whom you will not be able to do business. How many emails and voicemails from suppliers do you receive on a daily basis? You can ease your guilt of not getting back to them and see that number go down exponentially after one evening of SPEEED NETWORKING. You can give a simple YES or NO and in a matter of minutes you will be setting yourself up for increased office productivity.
BENEFIT TO SUPPLIERS – How many messages and voicemails do you leave that go unanswered? Now is your chance to talk to those planners and find out if your business has the possibility of being a perfect match for their needs. This will also save suppliers time and increase productivity. This will help suppliers focus on business that works rather than wasting time with incessant message-leaving to planners who are unable to partner. In a short time you will find answers to seemingly unanswerable questions and forge pathways to increased revenue for your business.
