RED Marketing Solutions Enjoys Networking at Leadership Conference
Jacksonville, FL, May 11, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “I’m not shy when it comes to bragging about my team anyway, but national recognition of their leadership skills is definitely something to talk about!” declared Renee, RED Marketing Solutions director of operations. “A select group of our top talent just returned from a prestigious weekend event with some of the sharpest minds in sales and marketing.”
The attendees were treated to informative seminars and an awards ceremony to highlight the achievements of everyone present. They also had multiple opportunities to learn about and share best practices with other high achievers from across the US and Canada. “Conferences like this open our eyes to the possibilities. Not only do we learn how to become better at what we do, but it’s inspiring to see what is being accomplished in other areas.”
"Professionals talk about networking so often that it's almost become a buzzword, but it really is a crucial skill to develop in the modern business landscape. There is a multitude of positives that come from quality networking."

However, according to Renee, the greatest benefit of weekends like this is the opportunity to network. “Professionals talk about networking so often that it’s almost become a buzzword, but it really is a crucial skill to develop in the modern business landscape. There is a multitude of positives that come from quality networking.”
For example, Renee mentioned that especially at a weekend seminar like the one RED Marketing Solutions leaders just attended, the chance to meet sales and marketing professionals from other places opens up opportunities for partnerships and cross training. Also, you never know when someone you speak with might end up leading you to a new client down the road.
“Those are the obvious reasons though, and almost any businessperson will throw those out,” Renee explained. “For us at RED Marketing Solutions, it’s also about the chance to make new friends and discover new ways in which to serve our communities and the business world at large. The more people we know, the more connections we make, the more friends we have, the more successful we are. The money is sure to follow.”
RED Marketing Solutions Director Shares Networking Strategies
“We obviously take networking pretty seriously here at RED Marketing Solutions, so we have some simple strategies that help us make the most of opportunities like the one we just came from,” Renee said. “For example, we don’t wait until we’re at the event to find out who else will be there. We check the guest list to see if there will be anyone we just have to meet. Then we contact them by email or social media, and try to schedule a time to meet in person. This one small step alone makes a huge difference in the quality of our contacts.”
Another tip Renee shared with her team is to have good questions prepared for when they do meet people spontaneously. “The ‘What do you do?’ question is overdone, and at a convention like the one we just went to it’s kind of pointless. Instead, we go a little deeper and ask about their passions, their favorite charities, or if they’ve read any good books lately.”
