| Making the Most of the RVAA Executive Conference - Part 2 |
By Dana Nelsen, RV PRO magazine
Making the Most of Your Executive Conference Meetings
Spending a couple hours preparing for your meetings (about a month before the conference) will determine whether your meetings were spent merely making small talk or discussing important business. Knowing why you want to meet with someone is just as important as knowing who you want to meet with. If all your meetings are merely social visits, odds are good you are missing business opportunities at the conference.
I've heard many times from various sources that every hour spent planning saves 10 hours of wasted time. While I suspect this is generally true for most things in life, it is especially true for days spent at the RVAA Executive Conference. The conference has exactly 21 hours designated for private meetings between members. Making the most of those 21 hours is really why everyone is heading to Boston in August. To make the most of a meeting, both parties must plan and prepare for it.
