Hi!
I'm Ted Peterson...Professional Speaker/Entertainer/Marketer from Connecticut...Today I'm starting a new blog, this one that your reading in fact...The first thing that I'd like to share with you is some of the recent Lessons I learned at Eric Paul's Super Conference this year...
The first one is Super important for marketers, salesman or anyone in fact that owns a business...While I was at the Super Conference I had a very limited amount of time to hang out with some real celebrities and pick their brains...There were so many things I wanted to talk with them about and take advantage of their experience and knowledge...
I got the idea to do a interview with one of these celebrities that I could later post on my blog and share with my clients...But I made a HUGE mistake! Instead of just going to the person and trying to do the interview I let myself get caught up in the details...I wanted to make sure that I asked the right questions...
I actually interviewed three other experts about the questions I should ask...(lucky for me I got permission to video those interviews!) Now I was ready to do the interview...
Unfortunately the celebrity that I wanted so bad to interview had already left the Conference!
So here's what I learned. First of all plan out what you are going to do at the conference before you ever get there....Have a set of goals for who you most I want to spend your time with...Plan out your activities outside the conference room such as videos, joint ventures, networking and interviews...Have a plan...
Second if you get a great idea while at the conference just act on it...In my case I would have been much better off just doing the interview rather than missing it all together as I did...
To wrap this up here is a quick video of what I thought of the 2009 Super conference...Hope you enjoy it...
