THE ART OF HOSTING AN EVENT OR SEMINAR
Being a host is as much an art as it is a management discipline. There is much you can do individually and as a team to make your guests feel welcome and to make the experience a positive and productive one. At SpeechCoach Company, we provide training for employees and employers who want to host successful and memorable events. You will learn how to:
- Ensure you and your guests have comfortable and productive conversations through prior planning.
- Be a great host and identify opportunities to help customers attending your event
- Remember people's names
- Initiate conversations with people you don't know and find common ground quickly and easily
- Use handshakes, territorial space, and body language to build rapport
- Introduce customers to appropriate employees and other customers
- Exit a conversation politely
- Switch topics to make conversations more productive
- Join conversations already in progress
- Determine which personal and professional topics are appropriate when socializing
- Use listening techniques to deepen your relationship and sustain your conversations
- Prepare your hosting site for the arrival of visitors
- This is another bullet

"We hosted a seminar today for prospects on Selecting a Software System. We all felt a heightened awareness of our hosting skills. One prospect made a point of commenting that one reason he wants to do business with us is because he always feels so welcome when he comes to our office."Marcia Doron
