National Conference is the biggest party of the year and creates the most amazing energy and excitement. Don’t you just want to bottle it up and take it home to pour on your people when they lose momentum? By being proactive, you can keep that National Conference Wave going all fall. Just get prepared and follow up!

Prepare in Advance

Start your after conference momentum at least two weeks (maybe a month) before you go. Decide what you want to accomplish in the three months following the conference and what you will need to do to make it happen.

Are you a leader? Take some time to help each of the people attending the conference to prepare their plan, too. Coming home loaded with tools to accomplish your personal goals will catapult you into action.

Be Focused at Conference

While you are at the conference, focus your attention on learning and growing in the areas that will make your plan a reality. If your goal is to recruit, take workshops on recruiting. Make a point to introduce yourself to the people who are being recognized as top recruiters and spend time with them. Prepare a few questions about recruiting in advance to ask the people you meet. When you narrow your focus, the information you receive will be less overwhelming.

Follow Up

These are some great strategies that successful leaders have shared.

  • Stay an extra day after conference all by yourself to review the new programs and learning. Create a plan to put them to work before you get home and get caught back up in life.
  • Schedule time to make follow up calls to your conference attendees the first week back. Help them get started right away so that they don’t’ lose their momentum.
  • Have a meeting or team conference/Zoom call scheduled a few days after the conference. Ask each person who attended to share their three best ideas. This will recognize those who attended the conference, help them focus what they learned and the rest of the team will catch the conference wave, too.

National Conference is a big investment for you and your company. Make it make a difference by planning and following up!
