Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a 3-day traffic generation hosted by Brock Felt and Buck Rizvi in Orlando, Florida dubbed “The Secret Society of Traffic Conversion”.

Man, what a trip!

There was a ton of good marketing information and strategies. Even though I already knew much of the information presented, from years of study, implementation, and instruction for our customers, I still had a mind blowing time.

There are always golden nuggets of information around every corner, no matter how much you know.

My philosophy is this, as long as you can walk away with at least ONE solid idea, strategy, know-how, piece of information, etc. it was worth it. In my case, I came away from the seminar loaded with tons of ideas so it was definitely worth it. (Attraction Marketing Formula is about to get a major revamp, be on the lookout )

The standout speakers at the convention were hands-down Carlos and Lupe Garcia. The information they presented was astounding. If you don’t know who Carlos and Lupe are, they went from high school dropouts to making millions of dollars online while driving literally 5.8 BILLION visitors to their site over the span of a few months…

Yes, that wasn’t a typo, that was a ‘B’ you saw before ‘illion’.

Another speaker I was very excited to learn from was Michael Cage – the “King of Teleseminar”. He presented some powerful information and tactics using teleseminars to create interest in and generate revenue for your business.

His presentation was so compelling, I even shelled out $2K for one of his programs and I can’t wait to dig into it.

Don’t worry, for those of you who are customers of the Attraction Marketing Formula, I’ll be breaking down some of the strategies I learned in our exclusive “customers only” bonus tele-clinics and webinars. Heck, Michael and several other gurus were even kind enough to make themselves available for exclusive interviews, which we’ll happily invite our customers to listen in!

There was a loot of other speakers as well, which I gathered a ton of lessons and information from.

Our hosts, Brock and Buck gave each speaker ample time to speak, (3-4 hours), so the speakers really tore it up!

The thing that really stuck out for me at this event was the atmosphere. Brock and Buck made sure that while the event was loaded with top-notch presenters, it was also a very friendly environment where it was easy to network with others. I got to rub shoulders and chit-chat with top marketing gurus and other marketers in the crowd and ask lots of questions.

While I learned some of those “golden nuggets” of marketing information, the true piece of information I want to share with really has nothing to do with those marketing tips. It has to do with how you network and create powerful alliances and contacts. I came up with 5 tips to help you. Let me share with you the first one:

Lesson #1: You can create powerful contacts.

You are in a place where you are surrounded by dozens if not hundreds or thousands of other marketers. You are also in the presence of a handful or dozens of marketing gurus who found a way to get them to where you’d like to be… You are surrounded by potential leads, prospects, customers, JV partners, affiliates, and like-minded individuals.

What do you do? Do you a) hide in your seat and hope nobody sees you or b) do you bust out your people and marketing skills and create some contacts?

I opted for option b and so should you.

A lot of these seminars are setup such that you get several mini-breaks and a few long breaks. These provide excellent chances for you to mingle with others in the audience. You should adopt an “abundance” mindset and see each of them not as competitors but as potential partners.

Go talk to others. Find out what they are doing. Find out how you can help them and how they, in return, may be able to help you. Leverage the quality of people that seminars attract. You’d be surprised by how many contacts you can create this way and how fruitful this can be for you and your business.

So next time you plan on going to a seminar be sure to first hone your people skills and be positive and energetic. People will be attracted to you like no others.

And it helps when you apply principle #2 which I will share with you next time. So stay tuned until next time when I share with you 4 more powerful networking tips!
