If you run virtual events, then you need to read this. The landscape has shifted. Gone are the days of the old playbook—mass webinars, saturated pitches, and the relentless pursuit of sales leads. This approach, where success was measured by attendee numbers and email opens, often missed the mark, creating friction rather than fostering genuine interest. Enter the new playbook, a shift towards community and content. Here, webinars evolve into dynamic engagements—fireside chats, expert panels, and keynote presentations that resonate with your audience. It's not about presenting slides; it's about sparking conversations, offering value, and building relationships. In this refreshed strategy, success metrics transform. Instead of counting attendees, we count repeat participants and the depth of their inquiries. This shift aligns with how customers prefer to engage, gradually nurturing them into a community connected by shared interests and continuous learning. Over time, this community-based approach proves its worth. Repeat attendees, now deeply engaged, naturally gravitate towards becoming customers. They are not just numbers in a database but potential brand advocates, drawn in by compelling content that speaks to their needs and interests. The new playbook isn't just a tactic but a sustainable model for growth. It creates a content flywheel, where the material produced for and during events continues to serve beyond its initial presentation, enriching marketing channels and drawing in a broader audience. The contrast between the old and new playbooks in virtual events is stark. The shift from a sales-driven to a community-oriented approach not only aligns with customer preferences but also sets the stage for a more authentic and effective engagement strategy. A great example of a company doing this well is Hampton. I'm fortunate to be a member of their community and Sam Parr, Joe Speiser and Jordan DiPietro have an incredibly vibrant virtual events program (in addition to all of the cool community engagement that Hampton offers).

Most businesses go all out for their big event, expecting everyone to know about it. But here’s a surprise—many people, even nearby businesses, might have no idea it's happening! 🤯 💡 Here’s What You Should Do: Don’t just assume word has spread—get out there and talk to the businesses around you. Within a mile, there are likely 10+ businesses that could benefit from your grand opening and even become long-term partners. Visit them personally, invite them to your event, and build those local connections. Business owners love supporting other businesses—use that to your advantage! 🔥 Pro Tip: Don’t just rely on your promotions; make sure your neighbors know what’s happening and how they can support. The more local buzz, the bigger the impact! Next time you plan an event, remember to build those relationships with nearby businesses—they could be your best allies. 🙌

Wednesday night was #networking night at the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce with Charles Kapur, MBA, and Mark Ingrao, CCP, CAE of Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce in a combined effort. This was not only the biggest one ever, it seemed to be the most successful as well. 📽️ Hosted by LOOK Cinemas, an uptown bar & grill over urban streets of the Town Center which just happens to have an 11-screen cinema. They pulled out all the stops - 4 bartenders slinging complimentary drinks, never flustered, for the 200+ person crowd. It was loud, but gave us all a glimpse of what a luxurious night out on the town might "Look" like (pun intended). So to give our ringing ears a break, we go in one of the gigantic screening rooms full of about 120 leather recliners (standing room only) and a banquet spread in front of the screen - sampling from their menu. 🎬 This is where the quiet conversation start to happen. Once again I was able to see firsthand how my "magic networking question" and #breadcrumbsofVulnerability turn conversations into friends and collaborators by the end of the night (which went almost 2 hours past the supposed cut off time, BTW). Notable among them, Earl Whitlock, Elizabeth Bainbridge, Ayesha S. Haider, MBA, PMP, Howard Albin, and Kenny Mulligan. All with big ambitious objectives that I am proud to say I can walk beside. Special thanks to Alicia Field for all the thought and planning effort that I can imagine it takes to pull something like this off, time and time again. ✨ That experience when people you've seen every month for more than a year now walk up to shake your hand and give you a hug join the conversation, reinforcing the purposeful dialogues each other is engaged in. If "what you would like to do more of" is more in-person networking, I can help with that. 👇DM me and let's get this conversation started. Scott Boddie #personalDevelopment #growth #mindset

I’m celebrating $35k in revenue so far in April! Here’s what’s been working: 1. “Generating current in the river.” These are my business activities that I know intuitively pay off, but it’s hard to make direct attribution to, like: a. Going out for drinks with local queens like Ashley Rudolph; it was SUCH an energizing hang b. Having marvelous catchups with people I have soul resonance with like Katy Pusch c. Pulling up LinkedIn every time I have a half-formed thought brewing, and letting it flesh itself out right here without filter. d. Speaking to the part of my audience who is already in motion, taking action towards their dreams. 2. “ROI Spreadsheet activities.” These activities represent measurable funnel inputs. a. Following up with people who booked strategy sessions in the past, and inviting them to work together. b. Making clear, direct invitations at the end of almost every LI post, at least one a day. c. Taking radically good care of my body (movement and nutrition), so I can see the opportunities in front of me clearly. d. Five newsletters a week to my email audience. These activities are what I do in between my seasons of summits and live events… which I’ll begin promotion for next week. I have one brilliant team member assisting me, and managing things outside my zone of genius, but other than that, it’s all me :) Results like this come from my efforts the previous month. So, if you’re an experienced business leader who wants results like this in May—say, your first consulting or coaching clients coming through your existing network—then you should DM me now :) Because it’s not just about execution. In my six month group program, you’ll leverage our 1:1 sessions, group sessions, and coursework to dial in the energetics and mindset required to make a creative, soulful business become extremely lucrative. We’ll have a quick back and forth to make sure I’m an expert at the thing you want to do, and if so, we can get you started and introduced to the community literally the same day. Talk soon. 🥰
