There is one powerful strategy all event and meeting planners use to reach the level of success they really dream about. It has nothing to do with event themes or locations, or your budget. It has nothing to do with your training in the industry. What I am talking about is much more powerful, and has the potential of positioning you as #1 in your industry and to generate business you never thought possible.
Let me explain.
When I first started my business, I felt very much alone. I had this feeling of pulling all the weight by myself, very limiting. As soon as I started collaborating with other people, I began feeling like nothing was impossible! I would come up with an idea, pitch it to one of my partners, and we would almost immediately turn it into a new revenue source. It took me a while to understand how to approach new partners, where to find them, and what to say to get a "yes.
"What I've learned is that collaboration is a very powerful business building strategy. Collaboration, when done right, makes everything easier. Everyone can collaborate. Collaborating is the "extra" in every extraordinary event and meeting industry professional I know. If you're like many other event and meeting industry professionals, you might find yourself overwhelmed and unable to grow in the business, or grow your business, without putting in more time and effort doing the same old things. Collaboration will allow you to multiply your efforts, save time and money, and uncover the resources and opportunities you need to become extraordinary.
You may think collaboration is an advanced strategy but actually a lot of people who are new in this business get big through collaboration. A lot of people who do collaborate do it on a subconscious level. Collaborating is inherent in the event and meeting industries. You do it every single day in some way. Think about your events and meetings, the companies behind them, the vendors and suppliers you use.
The biggest most successful projects I've seen come to life are the direct result of two or more people coming together. Combining their unique talents and creating something extraordinary. Collaboration happens every day, in every industry, in every area of our lives.
