How to be More Interesting than a Cell Phone™
Deedre Daniel is founder of The Big Fat Tip, a 501©(3), and The Interesting Conversations Company ™. She spent nearly two decades at GEICO, where she rose through the ranks from call center sales associate to head of the Affinity Marketing division. Her affinity marketing team was responsible for the marketing strategy for over 800 associations, which was generating $6 Billion a year in annual written auto premium by the time she left in 2018. She has amassed well over 10,000 hours of networking time from over 11 years of attending conferences, events and other networking receptions. This inspired her to write a training class called, “How to be More Interesting Than a Cell Phone” ™. She later invented “The Very Interesting Game ™” to go with it. Deedre has extensive experience speaking at conferences and has earned a reputation for having a wild and zany sense of humor. A recent example is below:
Cheese cubes to the left of you, open bar to your right – stuck in the middle with a boring conversation. The Interesting Conversations Company™ was created to change that. After accumulating more than 10,000 hours of networking time, the founder Deedre Daniel, created a training class called: “How to be More Interesting Than a Cell Phone”™, which combines funny stories from the convention circuit with valuable communication skills for people needing to develop new business for their company or looking to make new friends.
Are you tired of those same old networking events?
Event attendees learn how to apply those interesting communication techniques with an interactive card game immediately after the presentation. This can be done in any venue with tables, sound system and a projection screen.
And companies sponsoring the conference reception will get more advertising value because the game can include cards with interesting facts or questions about the company. The outside of the box can be branded with their logo, too. And that company’s associates can be strategically placed at each table so that they effectively connect with everyone at the party.
Winners of the game can take it home as a prize. Or enough games can be purchased for all attendees to enjoy as a special party favor. That is more marketing value than just a logo on a banner or cocktail napkin, right?
Our goal is to help event attendees make new friends and business connections, develop new skills and generate new ideas, which should result in repeat event attendance next year, too.
Hire The Interesting Conversations Company for your next networking event, team building or sales training class. It’s the better way to connect!
