meebee.com the preferred way to meetup during Social Media Week

As many of you already know, the highly anticipated Social Media Week kicks off this Monday, February 1st. It is sure to be a great time and we’re very proud to be involved with such a great event. With seminars, meetings, presentations, lunch-ins and parties happening simultaneously during the worldwide event, it will be easy to get overwhelmed and not know how to start your day. That being said, meebee.com is here to help you maximize your time before, during and after the event. Before you drive yourself nuts scrambling to find the right people to network with during the event – check out our tips below and get the most of your time:

1) Sell yourself first, not your product – Social Media Week will be an excellent networking opportunity and will certainly be a great way to give your company added exposure. However, before you plug your product to no end, take into consideration that building a relationship will be far more effective than simply pushing your product on someone.

2) Simplify – Throughout the week, there will be an overwhelming amount of people to meet, events to attend and tricks to learn, so in an attempt to prevent yourself from getting stressed out, search for ways to use your time most effectively. Pick events that will be the most beneficial to you and your success. Network with individuals that are in some way to connected to your product and you can benefit from one another. Instead of sending and receiving a never ending stream of texts and calls – simply send out a meebee request. 1 meeting can be sent to 3 individuals and covers where, when and why you want to meet. Giving you more time to network and absorb valuable information


3) Have Fun – Yes, it is possible to have fun while learning. Use your time outside of the scheduled events as effectively as possible. Take full advantage of all breakfast, lunch and dinner events offered. At the end of each day, as tempting as it may be to just migrate back to your hotel room and savagely attack the mini-bar, it will be far more effective if you meetup with your fellow attendees for some drinks and greasy bar food. It’s a win, win situation. Drink and make some great new connections!

By following these tips you will be able to use your time constructively as well enjoy yourself throughout the week. Be sure to use meebee.com for every meetup this week. Whether it be for lunch, seminars, drinks and sexy dates. By using meebee, you will have an edge over your competition. Have a great week and help make meebee “all the buzz” throughout the week!
