This post is actually soooo funny. I have a lady friend, who shall remain anonymous. She is a salesperson, and a high powered one at that. Blonde and voluptous, she is any mans dream, until she opens her mouth. It is all just me, me, me……I really wonder how she keeps that aspect of her being out of her sales repertoire!

Hi Chris– You’ve really captured some of the techniques and philosophy behind an us-centered approach to conferences. I’ve learned that at conferences, doing leads to understanding, so even if you don’t ‘get’ why you’d act these ways, once you start doing it, you get it. And, it puts you in a really good mood too.

One small adjustment, etiquette-wise: One asks the senior person’s permission to introduce the junior person. You treat the senior person as the one who gets to decide whether or not to accept the introduction. So, it’s “Ms. President, may I introduce Senator x”. Introductions go up the hierarchy. And dessert spoons go horizontally above the plate. :-)

Hey Chris, coming in a little late on this comment but found this article as I’m doing research for my new post. I think the article is right on! It’s not always about you, it’s about your clients, friends, families, etc. If you make a good a impression you’ll have plenty of time to disclose whatever information that is pertinent. I look forward to seeing you at the So Cal Action Sports event.

Just read this from a link on a later post. How did you EVER get away with calling her wife the “junior person” in the following? How long have you been married to this woman and why has she not left you after this blog post?

“When you introduce two people, it’s customary to introduce the lesser-known or junior person to the senior person. If I introduce my wife to the President of the United States of America, I’d say, ‘Honey, I want you to meet Mr. Barack Obama.’

Every married guy knows that his wife is NEVER junior or lesser-known to ANYONE, not even the President of the United States of America. Sorry, Chris, you got that one wrong :-)

Great information, Chris. Thank you! I’ve not been to a conference but can see how this will work at other business mixers.

Great tips, Chris. Sometimes getting back to the basics is what it’s really all about. I appreciate your sharing. And as someone who was recently DEFINITELY odd man out at a party, I appreciated when folks pulled me in. People like friendly, open people.

Morning Chris,

We’re all so muddled down in theories, reports, metrics and numbers that often the most simple and practical advice resonates as the most profound. So, thank you.

As a self-described wall-flower, it can be very difficult to “intrude” into the clicks that seem to form at conferences. The secret — in my experience — is people are very welcoming and open (just like in social networking) to authenticity, humility and passion.

Regards,
Bill Gaffney
