Blue Label Marketing Events Embraces Networking

Centerville, UT, May 7, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “I’ve attended several networking events in the past few months, and I know they have helped me increase my own growth and potential,” said Devin, director of operations for Blue Label Marketing Events. “I believe that making it a point to attend as many networking events as time and schedule allow also can help other young professionals.”

People attend networking events, most often conducted after normal work hours, usually at no cost. Companies or professional organizations sponsor these events, which are attended by like-minded people who are beginning their careers or who are seeking work. Event sponsors sometimes invite industry experts to brief attendees on new developments in their industry.

"Chances are, you'll find you have something in common with a new acquaintance that will help the two of you develop a personal and professional relationship. And don't hijack the conversation. Remember, you're there to learn, so make sure you spend time listening as well as commenting."

Blue Label Marketing Events Lists the Benefits of Networking

According to Devin, executives at Blue Label Marketing Events believe the most important benefit of going to networking events is to build professional relationships with others. “I made some of my most important contacts at networking events,” said Devin. “You will meet future colleagues at these events. They will be important additions to your contacts list for as long as you’re in business.”

In the past, some have used networking events as a sales platform to promote their own business interests. “I’m glad to say this strategy is no longer in vogue,” said Devin. “A networking event is not an appropriate place to practice your sales pitch. At Blue Label Marketing Events, we believe it’s a time to meet people and learn in a relaxed atmosphere.”

Blue Label Marketing Events’ Tips for Optimizing Networking Events

Devin urges young professionals – and older, more experienced colleagues as well – to attend as many networking events as possible. “This is no time to be shy and retiring,” he said. “This is a wonderful opportunity to further your career. So park your reservations at the door. Arrive early, and remember to smile.”

Devin also has some advice for attendees nervous about meeting strangers. “Ask the person some easy questions,” he says. “Chances are, you’ll find you have something in common with a new acquaintance that will help the two of you develop a personal and professional relationship. And don’t hijack the conversation. Remember, you’re there to learn, so make sure you spend time listening as well as commenting.”

Executives at Blue Label Marketing Events constantly remind their younger colleagues to follow up after the event. “You’ve collected a lot of business cards; now what’s the next step?” asks Devin. “Follow up with your new acquaintances. Call or send them emails to thank them for their time. They’ll remember your kindness and you will have cemented a lasting relationship.”
