Attending Seminars to Polish Your Credibility
You should never, ever pass up the opportunity to attend a seminar that is even loosely based on your niche or sub niche market topic. Everybody who is anybody in your chosen niche market will be at the related seminars and you want to be one of them.
Simply attending seminars that are related to your niche market will increase your visibility. With increased visibility comes increased credibility and that is one of your main objectives when you attend seminars. You will also be introduced to the top marketers in your chosen niche market as well.
You should attend all of the lectures and discussion groups that you can possibly squeeze into the allotted time frame. Be certain that you are prepared to ask intelligent questions and listen carefully to the answers that you are given. Stay as visible as you can throughout the two or three days that the seminar lasts.
You can start your next proposal for a joint venture with the sentence, “We met at the seminar that was held in New York City last month at the Plaza Hotel. I hope you remember me because I certainly do remember you. I was so impressed…..etc.” Rather than sending your proposal to a perfect stranger, you will be sending it to an acquaintance and that could be the crack in the door that you need.
You will learn a lot if you listen closely to what is said and what the key words are that the top marketers in your niche field use. Just by listening you can determine the order of importance that they place on sales letters or joint venture proposal components. You can use this knowledge to better set forth your proposals and that will increase your credibility, as well.
