Welcome to Manager Tools.

Today's topic, sending a direct to an industry conference.

Part 2, here we go.

Point 4.

Set a goal for relationships.

And this is the fun part, at least for some people that's all that's the only one

A lot of people love going to conference because I get to meet people but I would say the majority of people don't I would say not just for our listeners but in general that's more than 50% don't go

they think it's great they get to learn stuff they get to see booths and go to presentations and learn and the big thing is for a lot of people is quote not working unquote.

Even though if you're going to spend budget money, you ought to see this as work, and you ought to attack it as,

how can I get the most out of it?

Allah, well, you better plan your agenda, right?

But look, the fact is, conferences are a standard place where relationships start.

Okay? And, you know, for some of your directs, for some of of our directs making new friends will be cool

for others they don't want to but that is part of the ROI it is period so even our introverts even our perfectionist even our high seas

uh... even to some degree high d's that the non people the linear rational

i'm sorry not non people-people, non-people persons.

Did you just say, you know, like it's a non-person.

The non-people persons, the linear logical rational people, they need to strengthen their own networks, and also your team's network

and your company's network.

It's not just your direct's network that matters.

If your direct says, well, you know, I'm not really a big networking guy.

You look at him or her and you say, dude, I'm not asking you to go network.
