Prospect Solutions Heads to Quarterly Leadership Conference

Grand Rapids, MI, August 28, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​Every quarter, Prospect Solutions sends some of its managers and branding specialists to a leadership conference. This provides opportunities to network with other professionals from around the industry. It is also a great chance to hone other skills, such as public speaking. Mike added that it can even be a business development opportunity.

“Our team members will meet and network with their peers and even several marketing experts,” he stated. “This will give them an opportunity to get caught up on the latest innovations in our space. Additionally, they will make valuable contacts that can lead to future business and other professional opportunities.”

"It is generally best to leave the sales pitch behind when networking or presenting,"

Mike, Director

Mike pointed out that conferences are perfect for improving presentation skills. Many such events involve opportunities to get up and speak in front of others. He stated that he has been preparing his associates with advice, such as the value of focusing on helping others rather than personal gain.

“It is generally best to leave the sales pitch behind when networking or presenting,” he said. “At conferences, you should focus on sharing and gaining knowledge. Doing so will allow you to establish yourself as an authority. This approach actually generates greater interest and outcomes.”

According to Mike, he encouraged several of the more nervous Prospect Solutions team members to turn anxious energy into excitement. He also advised them to make eye contact whenever they are speaking so they can communicate more clearly.

Prospect Solutions’ Director on Preparing for Conferences

To get the Prospect Solutions team ready for the conference, Mike shared a few preparation tips. For example, he advised them to increase their visibility by connecting virtually with other attendees. Offering to help out with certain events can be a great way to accomplish this. Such a visible role can also help invite more connections while at the conference itself.

“It is also important to do your research first,” he continued. “There will be a lot to do. If you want to gain as much as possible, you’ll need to focus yourself. Find the sessions that make the most sense for you. Also, bring materials with you to take notes. I’d recommend a paper notepad so you can put away your devices. It is best to get rid of as many distractions as possible.”
