You have questions, we have answers
When enrolling, you will be introduced to your Client Relations Manager who will run through our operational process with you. To get started we will need you to create a company profile to give an overview of your proposition.
We will also send you the list of decision-makers (DTL) 6-weeks ahead of each programme for you to review and prioritise according to who you want to meet. Our team will then do the rest of the work to arrange meetings with your priority decision-makers.
We will let you know what meetings we’ve scheduled a week before the programme by sending you a draft agenda the week ahead.
Our process is broken down into 5 easy stages:
-
Welcome and Enrolment
You will be assigned a Client Relations Manager who will run through our process and be on hand to optimise delivery.
-
DTL
List of all of the decision makers that are attending the Strategy Meetings. It includes all the business intelligence for each decision maker and their company to allow you to make an informed decision on which decision makers you want to prioritise.
-
Draft Agenda
Agenda with the details and times of the meetings arranged. This will be a draft so whilst we aim to reduce any changes, the times and meetings are subject to change.
-
Updated Agenda
The day before, we will send an updated agenda confirming the meetings’ times and details.
-
Programme Day
The meetings.
Welcome and Enrolment Stage
We will send you a template with guidance and rough word counts to complete. Please include your website link and logo followed by a short description of the products and/or services that you offer as well as the top 3 benefits that make your company stand out.
We are only able to share one profile/proposition for each event so its important to make your key proposition clear and concise. You can always amend/update your profile for future events if needed.
Zoom. We create private links for each meeting.
We will send you the DTL for your review around 6 weeks ahead of each event. Please note that we will give you 4 – 5 working days to complete and submit your selections.
We recommend having 1 – 2 representatives per meeting to keep the discussions authentic. The meetings are designed to be exploratory conversations rather than a sales pitch and the most successful meetings are those that are 1 – 1 discussions.
The meetings will be scheduled from 8:30am – 2:10pm local time on the event day.
If you decide that you want to expand the regions you are targeting then yes we can always explore this. However, we will need to know this at least 8 weeks ahead of the projects you wish to join to ensure you are included in time.
Our delegate onboarding teams already engage with delegates from a wide range of different companies and industries and whilst we cannot guarantee that we can get specific delegates on board, you can share your target audience for our reference.
The meetings will all be scheduled on the event day so if you aren’t available then please let us know as soon as possible so we can reorganise your participation at an alternative event day.
Whilst we want to deliver the best opportunities for you as soon as available, if there aren’t meetings of interest, we will roll you over to the next relevant events until your contract is complete.
If there is an opportunity to deliver additional meetings for you, we will inform you of this and provide the option to upgrade your package.
The DTL will be emailed to you as an Excel file making it easy to share with your team and complete. We ask to to rank each decision maker as H/M/L according to your preference.
Each meeting is 20 minutes long.
The meetings will be scheduled between 8:30am – 2:10pm local time on the programme day so please ensure your team keep the whole morning free and account for any potential difference in timezones.
DTL Stage
Select all the delegates who are within your target and who you want to have a meeting with. The more people you select the more opportunities there are to have meetings as we will only arrange meetings with those who have a mutual interest. Our team will explore arranging meetings with your priorities, so please do only select people you want to meet.
If you have thoroughly reviewed the list and still decided that there aren’t any delegates of interest then please let us know and then we can discuss next steps. We can share the list of delegates who are interested in your profile to help or otherwise we can look to arrange meetings in alternative regions or events. Each event we host will have a new list of attendees to meet with.
Our analysis team need to know your final selections by the deadline we set so that they know who to arrange meetings with. If you do want to create a live document for your team to complete then please ensure it is finalised and submitted by the deadline given. Please don’t make any further changes after you have submitted it to us.
The current questions on our DTL are designed to aid all clients in attendance, and we believe that they cover a broad range of topics and sectors. That being said, we are always looking for ways to improve and we take on board your feedback so we may consider adding/amending the questions if appropriate.
Yes, if you are only interested in meeting one delegate within the DTL list you can rate others as Low but this will of course limit the potential meetings we can deliver and will depend on whether that delegate is mutually interested.
We will reach out with a gentle reminder from our side to return your selections. The deadline is set to align with the calls our team have scheduled with the delegates to discuss potential meetings. Therefore, if we don’t have your selections by the deadline our team wont be able to include you in these discussions. If there is a reason you aren’t able to return your selections by the deadline, please let us know so we can try to work around it.
The DTL will be released on the given date for everyone, so please let us know another POC we can send the list to whilst you are away.
The DTL provides a wide overview of both the delegate and their respective company so there should be enough information to make your selections. Whilst we aren’t able to provide further insights specifically, please remember that we will also be sharing your proposition with them and will only arrange a meeting if the delegate is mutually interested to ensure there is an alignment.
To maximise interest from the delegates, make your profile as clear and concise as possible, highlighting your key proposition and what you can offer that makes you unique.
Our scheduling team will be working on the agendas over the next few weeks and we will confirm the details and times of the meetings arranged when we send the draft agenda, a week before the event.
Draft Agenda Stage
We suggest that you use the meetings to discuss further points or topics as this is when you will have the delegates attention. Following the meeting, make sure you get their contact details if you wish to follow up but we will also share their email address too as a back up.
The meetings are designed to be exploratory conversations so take a consultative approach to each meeting by highlighting what you can offer the delegate that will help with the challenges / priorities they have indicated in the DTL we sent.
We will only arrange meetings with delegates you have selected, who have mutually expressed an interest in meeting. This means that the number of meetings we can arrange is limited by the mutual matches you get.
All the delegates have committed to taking the meetings on the event day and have booked in this time accordingly. Therefore, we aren’t able to reschedule the meetings to an alternative date.
Updated Agenda Stage
Whilst we try to minimise changes since the draft, there may be a few changes to the times and we may have added or removed some meetings according to any availabilities/cancellations that come through. Please ensure your representatives keep the full morning available in case of any changes or extra meetings.
To ensure we send accurate and live links, we will send these to your team on the morning of the program.
Programme Day
Our scheduling team are working on the agendas up until the morning of the event so it is only then that we can share the links, as we want to ensure the links we share are final.
On the day of the event you will be allocated an account manager who is there for any added support that you may need during the day. We will let you know who this will be the day before and they will send over the final agenda with the zoom links in the morning.
