Join us for Chamber Speed Networking, hosted by Hilton Garden Inn. The purpose of speed networking is to make as many connections as possible in a short amount of time. We will be using a lighting speed round robin format.
The event moderator will ring a bell to indicate the beginning and end of each round. Once the round begins, you will share your business card FIRST, then introduce yourself and your purpose for being there. A few questions and answers back and forth can quickly clarify if there is any potential for a follow up phone call or meeting. At the halfway point, the conversation switches to the second person, who introduces themselves and their reason for attending. After a second exchange of information, the event leader rings a bell, and you move on to the next person. Each round will be timed and last just 4 minutes.
Throughout the event, you will continue to meet individuals, one at a time. The event culminates with Business Social Hour in the hotel lobby. This is to allot talking to individuals you did not get to talk to or seeking out someone who you met during the event and continuing the conversation.
Bring lots and lots of business cards!
Key things to share:
- Your name.
- Your title and company.
- The values you create for your clients, by describing a typical problem, what activities you used to solve it, and the actual result.
- You can round up by including something about your goals and the results you wish to achieve from the meeting.
- What do you do?
- How can I help you do that better?
- What inspired you to start doing the work you’re involved with now?
- What are some strategies that you’ve found to be helpful for your recent work?
