Have you ever used Nikki's strive five list at a conference? Today, Nikki's guest is Mary Beth Simon, Founder of Niche Partnership Consulting and a Sales Maven Society Member. Mary Beth is asking Nikki for help to maximize her sales interactions with the attendees at a conference they have asked her to speak at, plus much more on this episode of the Sales Maven podcast.

Listen, as Nikki shares some strategies with Mary Beth about selling without being overly pushy as the opportunities arise. Nikki also believes that it is important when speaking at an event that you are gracious and welcoming to everyone you come in contact with because you never know when you might get a buying signal from an attendee.

Nikki shares her strive five list and 3-2-1 networking technique with Mary Beth and discusses some examples of how using these have helped position her to gain clients and opportunities. When speaking, it's important to weave some success stories into your speech to plant seeds and then follow through after the talk with people who are interested and want to learn more.

Mary Beth shares one benefit she has gained from being a member of the Sales Maven Society is a new group of resources. She loves having consistent access to people she already knows and ones she doesn't. Mary Beth feels like she can trust the people because they are in Nikki's community.
