Dill Ward led a session on maximizing connections at events, encouraging agents to show up as connectors—not card collectors. She shared practical strategies like using digital business cards, taking selfies with new contacts for easier follow-ups, and identifying event organizers or key people to build deeper relationships and expand networks. Dill emphasized attending events with clear intentions—whether to reconnect with past clients, meet collaborators, or learn something new—and recommended using curiosity-based questions to spark meaningful conversations. She also highlighted the power of hosting events to position yourself as a leader and shared that intentional relationship-building has helped her generate over $35M in business through personal connections.
