All-Star Networking Boot Camp & Small Business Resource Expo

Registering for the Boot Camp will also register you to attend the Expo, which begins in the adjacent exhibit hall immediately afterwards. A great pairing. And both are Free.

In this interactive All Star Networking Boot Camp, you will gain clarity and memorable, useful tips to help you make the most of your networking opportunities, including the Small Business Resource Expo, which begins next door just as the Camp concludes.

We’ll walk you through each key step including having a networking plan, identifying how you’ll introduce yourself and how you will follow up. You’ll gain tips to make each step easier and more effective and you’ll also have a chance to practice with new connections before you enter the Expo. 

By attending this special pre-Expo presentation, you will leave the Expo with far more value than any expo you’ve attended before. This 1.5 hour session is valued at more than $59, but is FREE to you as an attendee of the New Business Minnesota Small Business Resource Expo.

The Small Business Resource Expo
starts right afterwards from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Come for 10 minutes, or stay for the afternoon. 
 

The all-star presenters will cover:

• Body language.
• Making a positive and memorable first impression.
• Strategies to identify if someone is a good connection.
• Entering/exiting conversations.
• How to be a great resource and not just “WIIFM.”
• How to think “big picture” on your networking goals.
• Learn a quick way to scan business cards on the spot.
• How to work a room.
• How to network as a salesperson without “selling.” 
• Post event follow up.
• Mining your leads. 
• How to network at a business expo  

Attending a business expo is not only a great way to gain resources to grow your business, it also draws a wealth of valuable connections with fellow attendees and exhibitors. Most people attend an expo, visit some tables and pick up materials only to leave having missed out on the most important part — the connections.
