4 Key Reasons Why You Should Attend Your Company’s Events

Our team recently returned from our national “sales kickoff” event. We returned refreshed, recharged, and rejuvenated! We understand that using three words starting with the letter R in a row may seem excessive. Our return may sound a bit corny, but we wanted to make a point. However, not everyone on our team attended. The folks who didn’t make it were trying everything they could to get the information via Facebook status updates, text messages, and phone calls, which, of course, went straight to voicemail. We were not avoiding them; we were simply too busy absorbing all the great info. This experience prompted me to ask myself, why do some people make it a priority to attend seminars and conferences, while others don’t? We realized it doesn’t really matter why they don’t, so here are four reasons.

Are You Missing Out? The Surprising Benefits of Company Events

• The first one is quite simple. As leaders, managers, and involved team members, we should set an example for our team. If you are going, there’s a much better chance they’ll go too. I went to my first event because my sponsor was going, and he reinforced the importance of being there. If you don’t go, then rest assured your team won’t be there either. They will, in turn, duplicate this model with their teams.
• Secondly, these team building events are a wonderful venue for meeting and building relationships with business partners. You’ll be spending time in breakout sessions, seminars, and classes with them. You’ll be staying in the same hotels and eating meals with them, too. Use the time to strengthen existing friendships and create new ones. These are the folks you are running the path with, and nobody does it alone!
• The third is the obvious one. Sharpen your skills! There will be plenty of lectures, speakers, and business-building training specific to your network marketing company. Ultimately, each of us aspires to discover a single nugget that can propel our small business to new heights. Listen to the teachers, take plenty of notes, and counsel with your upline leaders. To build it big, we need a big business and leadership skill set, so learn all you can!
• The fourth and final one: just think back for a second to your very first big event. You register, excited for what the event may bring. You might be with your group, looking around at all of the new faces. Then, as you walk into the main convention hall filled with thousands of other representatives, it hits you. You’re not the only one who said yes! Other buildings are successfully under construction. Such an experience certainly builds your confidence. Have faith in your company, the product or service you offer, and yourself, knowing that you made the right decision. We are going to add a fourth R to the list here. It will relight your fire, and that’s what’s most important. If your flame goes out, then so does your team and ultimately your business. So here’s the call to action. Go; you will be glad that you did!
