7 Steps to Maximize Your partneringONE Experience
Effective networking and partnering can make all the difference in your event success. As your networking and partnering manager, I'm excited to share these seven crucial steps to help you get the most out of your event partnering opportunities. Let's dive in!
1. Start Early: The Power of Pre-Event Planning
Pre-event planning is your secret weapon for success.
- Begin researching potential partners weeks before the event
- Familiarize yourself with the partnering platform
- Set clear goals for what you want to achieve during the event
2. Build a Strong Profile: Your Digital First Impression
Your profile is your digital handshake. Make it count!
- Update your photo
- Ensure your profile is up to date
- Make it clear what you're looking for
3. Set Your Availability: The Foundation of Successful Scheduling
The platform schedules your agreed meeting based on the mutual availability.
- Block out your calendar when you won't be on-site
- Review the agenda and block out times you won't be available for meetings
- Review your commitments and update regularly
4. Review Your Settings: Customise Your Experience
Take control of your partnering experience by fine-tuning your notification settings.
- Will you log in to the platform regularly?
- If not, ensure you have email reminders set up
- Double-check the emails are marked 'safe' and not being directed to junk
5. Search for Partners: Navigate the Full Attendee List
Use the search filters to identify potential partners.
- Review the available filters
- Focus on your target audience
- Be creative with your search terms
6. Send Meeting Requests: Craft Personal Invitations
A well-crafted request significantly increases your chances of face-to-face time.
- Write a clear, specific subject line that grabs attention
- Personalise your message – show that you've done your homework
- Be concise but compelling – explain why a meeting would be mutually beneficial
7. Maintain Your Meeting Inbox: Stay Organised and Responsive
A well-maintained inbox ensures you don't miss out on new opportunities.
- Send requests early for the best availability
- Respond promptly to incoming requests
- A polite 'no thank you' is better than letting a request sit indefinitely
