3 Tips to Help You Rock Xbiz LA

The next big gathering for all things porn is coming up in just a couple of weeks, Xbiz LA. This will be another event where networking is king. If you want to make connections to grow your career or business, this will be a good place to do it.

Over the next week I will post tips and tricks that will help you get the most out of the conference.

Here are some to get you started:

• Know your purpose

  Are you there to meet people to help your business? Meet people who can help your career? Grow your network of connections? Get people familiar with you? Work on personal branding? Or generally be at the right place at the right time?

  Make sure you know why you are there, because that will affect how you meet people.  You always want to have your agenda first, otherwise you will not get the value out of the venue.

• Work your angle

  Now that you have established why you are there, make sure that you are putting your agenda first in all conversations.  If you want to grow your social networking, get people’s twitters and tweet them from your phone. If you are pushing a product, start a conversation and make a segue to talk about the product.  Make sure that despite all the glitz and glam you always have your agenda at the forefront.

• Know your pitch

  A lot of times when you are networking with people they will ask you why you are there and what you do.  Make sure you have a succinct response that answers their question and opens up the topic for conversation. End your pitch with a question that ropes them into further conversation.

Over the next week I will post topics to help you get the most from Xbiz and walk out of there with more contacts and business opportunities than you can throw a stripper pole at!
