Showcase LA Events Talks Business Travel and Team Expansion
The director of operations at Showcase LA Events discussed the networking techniques her team uses during business trips, as well as her need to add professionals to her team.
Los Angeles, CA, April 8, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “I love exploring new places and experiencing new things,” said Ashley, Showcase LA Events’ director of operations. “I think it’s safe to say that my colleagues share this sentiment. One of the things we loved most about this field is that we can combine the love of travel with our passion for our work.”
Ashley pointed out that she and her team members embark on many excursions throughout the year. For instance, they attend retreats dedicated to rest and relaxation, cross-trainings at sister offices in different regions, meetings with new additions to their portfolio, national conferences, and quarterly leadership events – one of which they just attended. “There are plenty of benefits associated with business travel. It gets us out of the office, which makes it easier to focus on strengthening our relationships,” she stated. “Of course, we learn a lot about industry trends and best practices as well. I most enjoy the networking opportunities though. I love meeting new people!”’

Ashley S., Director of Operations
The director was happy to share some valuable networking techniques that she learned throughout her career. She indicated that it’s best not to attend an event hoping for immediate gain. Instead, the purpose should be to forge new relationships, with the intention of nourishing them over time. The benefits will present themselves later.
“I definitely suggest listening more than talking,” Ashley continued. “This shows others that you care about what they have to say, as opposed to bragging about your own life and accomplishments. This makes them much more likely to remember you in a favorable light. Also, as you learn about these new acquaintances, start thinking about ways in which you might be able to help them. You might have expertise where they have needs, for example, or potential referrals.”

Anyone who joins our team will enjoy a supportive and upbeat environment, the guidance of a trustworthy mentor, a thorough training, endless possibilities for advancement, and, of course, lots of travel opportunities! I’d like to invite interested individuals to apply online.”
