On Perspective From a Busy Conference: Who else is still catching up from the tsunami of activity from National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)?
What a terrific 'problem' to have!
While I am buried with opportunities, there are other conversations happening, and I wonder if we were at the same event.
I have talked to a few too many who in a post-conference haze are lamenting these-
👉 There Were Not Enough Dealers
👉 Not Enough Traffic
👉 Not enough Appointments
👉 People Didn't Keep Their Appointments
👉 Not enough Sales
👉 Missed Our Sales Targets
👉 Our Booth Was In a Terrible Location
I am here to tell you, it wasn't the conference.
It was you.
But what part of it was controllable- even foreseeable?
❓ Your Lack of Preparation
❓ Your Assumptions that your Leaders had a Good Strategy
❓ Your Failure to Communicate Your Vision
❓ Your Team's Preparedness, Education, Expectations and Enthusiasm
❓ Your Product!
❓ Your Choice of Participants
❓ Too Many People/Too Few Manning Your Booth
❓ Too Few Breakfast, Coffee, Lunch Meetings
❓ Your Follow Through with Pre-Set Appointments
❓ Leading with a Party Instead of a Plan
❓ Your Marketing Strategy for Before, During and After the Conference
❓ Your Budget
❓ Your Unrealistic Expectations
❓❓❓ What Else?
My concern is this and you've heard me address it before:
The chances for better outcomes are not in your favor if any of these occurred unless you commit to making changes.
You need help- and it's okay, it's time, to ask for it.
🎯 I will gladly support your team with a strategy for your upcoming events before you even book them.
🎯I can also help you recover from and capitalize on an event where you failed to meet your hopes and expectations.
I'm busy- but for those who know me or are about to know me, I will always find time to help those seeking to make a difference- and do the work.
My company's middle name is 'Strategies'. Let's put the power of our strategies to work before you invest in another event.
