4 reasons you might want to participate in a multi-business collaborationThere are many reasons you may want to participate in such an event, but here are the four major ones:
- Introduce your business to a new audience and expand your reach.
- Network with other businesses and sponsors you may not have access to on your own.
- Earn more money.
- Develop friendships with like-minded business owners.
I share more details about each of these in the episode.
So, are you ready to organize one of these collaborative shindigs?If so, here are 7 tips for successfully organizing a collaborative event.
- Manage your fear of rejection.
- Decide who's in charge.
- Choose to curate or have open invitations.
- Get organized.
- Invite and follow up.
- Reach out to sponsors.
- Keep your word and thank your collaborators.
I go into more detail about each tip in the episode.
Hmm, that sounds hard. I'd rather participate than organize.Here are 6 ways to be an ideal collaborator that gets invited back again and again.
- Join groups.
- Read and follow directions.
- Ask questions if you're confused or have concerns.
- Communicate, especially about problems or delays.
- Promote the entire event/collaboration, not just your participation in it.
And, for bonus brownie points, offer to help the organizer(s). I share more details on each way in the episode.
