Grant indicated that his team members were able to make the most of this conference, thanks to their networking skills. He asserted that there are plenty of extremely intelligent individuals attending such events who are ready to share their latest ideas and opinions. “Not only were we able to learn from several thought leaders in our industry, we were able to discuss our own strategies,” he explained.
According to Grant, networking skills are absolute musts for conferences. For example, it is useful to practice empathetic listening, the ability to truly comprehend what others are saying. Grant stated that another powerful technique is to share personal stories. Many conference attendees are happy to make friendly connections with others.
“I always encourage my associates to focus on quality rather than quantity,” he continued. “Many people try to get as many business cards as possible. However, I have always found that making a real connection with a few people is far more beneficial. Similarly, it is essential to realize that networking is just the beginning of a longer relationship.”
Lynx’s Director of Operations Discusses the Importance of Goal Setting
The Lynx team has had significant success at conferences thanks to their goal-setting practices, Grant explained. As with all other business objectives, the team’s networking goals are based on the S.M.A.R.T. framework.
“As an example, we always set specific goals for the number of people we will reconnect with after the conference,” he said. “We try to avoid objectives that are just about meeting people, and instead, focus on long-term relationships. I also have my team identify particular conference attendees that they would like to meet.”
This approach ensures a lot of success at conferences. Grant believes that these opportunities have not only benefitted Lynx, they have also offered some great chances for his team members to experience new places and achieve their own career goals.
“Networking is as valuable for the individual as it is for the company,” he added. “I think that our focus on such events has shown all our associates that we are ready to invest in them. We have a lot of fun together while accomplishing both individual and business goals. It’s great!”
