Flight Attendants. Please be seated for departure.
  I just hope I don't regret this trip.
  Have you ever been to an event and you feel  really awkward?
  You're not really sure what to say or who  to talk to or what to do?
  You just think, okay, I'm going to stand over  in the corner.
  Maybe you're not really sure what networking  even is?
  Today, In this video, I'm going to teach you  how to network at events like a pro for your
  business.
  The first part of networking is to understand  what it is.
  If you want to grow your business and your  brand, then you need to make sure that you're
  talking to other people about yourself because  they aren't going to come find you.
  You have to go find them.
  If you are at a club, you know popping bottles  and drinking it up, normally you might have
  like a guy come over to you and say, hey baby,  what's up?
  You want to chat?
  And you might be like, yeah, I want to chat,  or are you going to be eww get away from me?
  You're kind of creepy.
  But at a networking event, you can't look  at it that way.
  You have to think, okay, I'm at this party.
  Want to introduce yourself to people and meet  and greet and let them know what you are about
  so that you can follow up with them later.
  It's not meant to get a ton of business right  then.
  You're just building a relationship to have  something later on, my first tip for networking
  at an event for your business is to make sure  that you go in with a plan.
  If you have certain people that you want to  connect with or maybe you have a question
  that you want answered, you want to network  with those people at the event.
  Already have these things prepared.
  If it's people that you want to talk to you,  if it's questions that you want to have answered
  or maybe you want to follow up with somebody  later on, this may leave your mind once you
  get there and there's a lot going on.
  They may be serving drinks or food or talking.
  You want to just have a plan of what you're  trying to get accomplished there.
  If it's 10 business cards or 10 connections  or you want to have a videographer or whatever
  it is, the list of that going in so one, you  don't forget it.
  What if you scored an amazing interview with  someone that you've been looking up to or
  you got to chat with the keynote speaker that  was on stage.
  The first thing that you're gonna want to  do is ask them a question and I can tell you
  that when I've met some really big celebrities  and people influencers, I'll get up there
  and I'm like, Oh my God, I love you.
  Okay,  so today's the big day and I'm going to meet
  Sunny Lenarduzzi.
  So I'm so excited.
  I think this is going to be like such a game  changer for my business, but I'm crying because
  I'm so excited  and usually I cry but I kind of freeze and
  I'm not really sure what to say to them.
  So yes, it's really important that you know  what you want to say when you're at these
  events and what question you really want to  have answered.
  My second tip is to be able to introduce yourself  and 30 seconds like an elevator pitch.
  You want to make sure that people know what  you do.
  You don't get bored by the time that you're  done saying it and you don't want to wobble
  around about what you're telling them that  you do.
  You just want to be quick to the point and  you're not going to tell them your whole life
  story.
  Just think about if you were on an elevator,  you only had 30 seconds until that elevator
  got to the bottom of the ground.
  Somebody said, hey, what do you do?
  Oh, see you later.
  You want to be able to answer that question  really quickly so that you can establish a
  relationship, get a contact, and then move  on to further that relationship after the
  event is over.
  Tip number three is to have business cards.
  Some events will have different ways to keep  track of people, but good old fashioned business
  card.
  You cannot go wrong with that.
  If you don't have a business card, how are  you going to give people your information
  and tell them, Hey, follow me and contact  me later.
  Tell them what you do, who you are hand it  over and say, "Hey, really nice to follow
  up with."
  You could also get your card so maybe giving  them yours and then asking for.
  There's is a good way to get their information.
  When people give you their business card back,  don't just toss it in your purse or your wallet
  or your folder and walk off with it.
  Actually look at the business card.
  Just make a note like, okay, her name's Brandi.
  What's a really good idea is to make notes  on the business card because you're not going
  to remember everything that you talked about.
  So if you make notes on the business card  and least it will give you some kind of idea
  later on when you go to follow up and say,  Hey, I remember when we talked about dadada.
  If they say that they have three dogs and  a kid and they live in Atlanta, Georgia.
  Then you would want to put that down.
  If that's obviously not something that maybe  on their business card so that it kind of
  triggers something later on.
  Tip number four for networking introduce yourself.
  Nobody is coming over to you.
  You have to go to them and get their attention.
  They may come over to you, but the chances  are that they probably aren't, so I would
  make eye contact and let them know, hey, I'm  looking at you.
  I'm talking to you.
  When you want that waiter to come to your  table, don't you look at them and say, hey,
  yeah, drink over a year.
  Waiting on my drink.
  Same thing at a networking event.
  Make eye contact with people.
  Smile smiling is a great way.
  Get their attention,  smile, make eye contact and bring them on
  over.
  That's probably not how you should do it,  but it's
  pretty close.
  Smiling, making eye contact and not being  afraid.
  I can't tell you how many times I've gone  to events and I kick myself looking back and
  saying, man, I wish that I would've went and  asked that person for that picture, that autograph,
  if I could talk to them later on, maybe vlog  with them.
  There's been so many opportunities that I  wish I would have taken.
  Tip number five, any of these new contacts  that you're making, don't wait.
  The follow up with them, I would follow up  with them within a week.
  I'm going to social media marketing world.
  It's almost a week long event, but it's at  least half a week.
  I'm traveling part of the week and I know  that other people are probably traveling and
  then they're going to be exhausted.
  They're going to want to take off for the  weekend, so the best time to follow up with
  them is probably going to be that Monday or  Tuesday after the event once I get back because
  they're not going to be able to read my emails  while I'm there for one.
  They'll probably have a lot going on.
  They won't remember.
  Say "Hey, can we have coffee?
  Can we have a chat on the phone?
  It was really nice meeting you."
  Just warm up the relationship.
  Don't say, Hey, here's my program.
  If you want to buy it or put them on your  email list and just blast them out.
  You really need to form a relationship with  these people that you're meeting at these
  events because these are gonna be your potential  clients, your potential customers, and if
  they're not your potential clients and customers,  they may know someone that can use you.
  Now you know how to do a network at business  events and start building your relationships
  for your brand, but the first thing people  are going to do when they find you and get
  that business card or talk to you, they're  going to go on their phone or when they get
  back, when they get that email from you and  they're going to search, they're going to
  say, hey, who is this chick?
  Who is bloggin Brandi?
  They're going to go to blogginBrandi.com,  and they're going to look at my content.
  They're going to go to my social media handles.
  They're going to search for me online, and  the best way to show up is by looking like
  a brand.
  When they land on you, you want to look like  a uniform business, a uniform brand, very
  unique look and feel to you so that they want  to come back.
  They want to see like this person is a real  person, they've got a brand established, they
  have a website established.
  I can't tell you how many big people as they  that don't even have a good looking website.
  It's not okay.
  I've got you covered.

  Okay, so today is my first day in Canada.
  I'm such a crybaby.
  I know I shouldn't be scared.
  So scared here.
  I'm by myself.
  I just want to change my flight.
  So I can come back as soon as possible.
  I haven't ate anything.
  OMG I haven't ate anything like in the last  24 hours because I was like, oh, just so let
  me get to the hotel, they'll settle down.
  Well, then my flight was delayed and no one  cares.
  (Laugh) No one cares.
  When you're an entrepreneur, you have to handle  business of life - all of this by yourself,
  which is why I'm here by myself.
  I knew how important this is, what's going  to be for my business.
  You're making videos.
  You're putting them on YouTube and nobody  is watching them.
  I'm going to teach you exactly how to get  more views on your videos.
  Maybe  whenever, I meet Sunny tomorrow, hopefully
  everything will change.
  I've just been in this funk or loneliness  for so long and don't know where to turn with
  my business or my channel.
  I was not expecting that.
  You're so sweet.
  Oh my God.
  Don't cry.
