Recently I have been spending a lot of time attending various networking groups and Meetup’s. Through that process I have encountered a few situations where the facilitator does not even show up. Also I have encountered situations where I have found myself wandering around trying to find the room or place where the meeting is being held.
I plan on setting up a few events myself and I have learned a thing or two about “What not to do.” Here are a few things I always thought were common sense, but apparently they are not.
•If you schedule an event show up for it!!
•If you plan on starting a group plan on making a 10 meeting commitment to get the ball rolling.
•Put signs and out for people so they know they are in the right place.
•Welcome each person to the meeting
•Have a clear agenda of what the meeting is about.
•Be consistent each meeting with the agenda
•If people flake on you it really doesn’t matter as long as you don’t flake.
•Acquire peoples email and cell numbers in case an emergency comes up.
By following these guidelines I know it won’t necessarily insure my events will be successful, but I am guaranteed failure if I don’t.
