(5) Tips to Avoid Distractions in Your Business with COVID-19 | Shaune Hayes

Our Speaker’s care and want to extend their support to you during this time of uncertainty. As we were all affected by COVID-19, The Signature CEO Conference was postponed and with the support of our Speakers they still want to extend a reach to each of you and share advice on how you can pivot through this temporary disruption of our businesses.

We had the opportunity to do a LIVE Facebook Interview with Speaker, SHAUNÈ HAYES of RED CARPET READY MAKE UP.  Shauné is a makeup artist, beauty expert, entrepreneur and beauty business coach based in Washington, D.C. She is the owner and principal makeup artist of Red Carpet Ready Makeup with Shauné Hayes and have worked in the beauty industry for over 15 years. 

During our conversation he highlighted, “(5) Tips to Avoid Distractions in Your Business with COVID-19”:

  1. Identify what your distractions are. I think this is important so you know what keeps you unfocused and can specifically address it.
  2. Plan/Go over your daily routine the night before. Identify 2 or 3 main tasks you want to get done.
  3. Turn off notifications. Limit texting and emailing.
  4. Take mental breaks. After an hour or 90 minutes of focused work, take a break.
  5. Keep it clean. If my work area is disorganized and cluttered it affects my energy and productivity.

Our Speaker’s care and want to extend their support to you during this time of uncertainty. As we were all affected by COVID-19, The Signature CEO Conference was postponed and with the support of our Speakers they still want to extend a reach to each of you and share advice on how you can pivot through this temporary disruption of our businesses.

We had the opportunity to do a LIVE Facebook Interview with Speaker, TICORA DAVIS of The Creator’s Law Firm.  Ticora helps entrepreneurs protect their smarts so they can grow their business with peace of mind. The Creator’s Law Firm has helped hundreds of business owners secure their brand and proudly boasts a 97% success rate for trademark registrations.  During our conversation she highlighted, “Top 5 COVID-19 Contractual Tips”:

  1. Get everything in writing! (I just spoke with a seasoned event planner who paid a friend $15K to record his conference. He paid in full – no contract. Now his event cannot happen due to COVID, no contract, and videographer is not trying to provide a refund…only a credit). Ensure contracts are drafted w/your best interest in mind.
  2. Force majeure clauses are needed
  3. Commercial impracticability/impossibility of performance clauses are rarely included (this could’ve saved tons of businesses from covid)
  4. Anticipate having to move venues/cancellations, etc. – have clauses where you reserve the right to transition an in-person event (i.e., conference) to virtual event to reschedule
  5. Payment plans with unique terms tied to every payment are a MUST. This will minimize the justification for refunds and a court will most likely be on your side more.

My Personal Highlights…The Signature CEO Conference 2018

AUTHOR:  Teaira Abston of Dreamcatcher Stationery

Several, if not all, of my fellow creative bosses would agree that one of the most important things you can do to ensure the success of your business is to consistently seek educational opportunities to learn and expand your knowledge base. Whether the focus is on the newest trends or techniques of your creative niche or discovering new tools and systems to implement in your business, finding a workshop or conference to attend quarterly or annually can prove to be worth the investment.

Every year creatives plan to attend various conferences and workshops in search of the ultimate educational and networking experience. With so many promising to offer just that, it can be overwhelming trying to find the right conference for you and your business. One conference I have attended that has proven to be well worth the investment, is the Signature CEO Conference, organized by Tara Melvin of Perfectly Planned Events. Tara thoughtfully curates the best of the best in the creative industry to present attendees with valuable information and tools to immediately implement and take their businesses to the next level.

The inaugural conference was held in 2015, but my first time attending was the 2017 conference. I had such a positive experience that I knew I could never miss another. What I appreciated so much was the intimacy of this conference. The speakers were so engage, and they even stayed after their own presentations to learn from other industry leaders and interact with attendees. I didn’t feel lost in a sea of professionals fighting for a handshake or “usie.” Instead it felt rather inclusive and personal, especially when we were able to mix and mingle during lunch and speed networking.

I loved that each speaker presented on his or her own area of expertise, covering a broad range of topics that applied to us all regardless of our creative niche. They spoke about practical things we could apply to our business the very next day versus fluff that is only “instagram” worthy. LoL The Signature CEO Conference 2018 was simply amazing!

This year’s speaker line-up included industry gurus like the amazing Kathy Romero, Kellie Daab, Jacqueline Nwobu, and Dan Simons to name a few. The jewels that were dropped were truly invaluable.  I ended each session with pages of notes and was fired up to get back to my home office to make the necessary adjustments in my business.

Monique Melton’s presentation about creating passive income definitely resonated with me. She specifically spoke about the importance of creating something that doesn’t compete with our core service/product. Instead, she implored us to study our target market to find the gaps and areas that can be improved by understanding the frustrations of our audience. It got my wheels turning, and I’m already considering adding a new service/product that will compliment what I currently do.

Patrick Teague dived deep into the basics of copyrighting and how to recognize copyright infringement. He also gave steps on how to obtain copyrights for things such as pictures, videos, and other digital products online. He also touched on social media since that’s how the majority of us share our work with the world.

The panel discussion focused on the grit and grace of being an entrepreneur also resonated with me. They discussed the sacrifices made in order to get ahead, the hardest lessons they’ve learned, and shared so many examples of ways to practice self care while being an entrepreneur. Each panelist was very transparent about their journey and their struggles, giving examples of challenges they had overcome to get where they are today. Their candid responses were heartfelt and relatable.

 Although each speaker focused on very specific topics, there were a few points that were consistent among them…

~Outsource and get help in areas where you know you are not the expert…Abby Grace touched a lot on this.

~Utilize tools that will help you stay organized and on top of things, such as processes and systems to help you streamline. Nicole Peck of Bizbash and Jacqueline Nwobu, CEO of  Munaluchi Bride gave us some amazing apps we can use.

~Be ready to pivot and change often because there’s no one size fit all model. Adjust with the industry and determine ways to stand out as a brand! Kellie Dabb talked about becoming known for one thing (niching down), and creating a smooth client experience unlike the rest by starting with a clear message and delivering the luxury to your client by providing the VALUE.

~Authenticity goes a LONG way, especially on social media and when building lasting relationships with people. Network = your net worth!

The Signature CEO Conference is perfect for established and newbie creative professionals. I would recommend this conference to anyone who is looking to learn from some of the best in the industry. At this conference, you get so many practical steps you can take and apply immediately. The speakers are experts in the areas they present, and they provide great information on ways to improve on what you’ve already established.

In addition to the amazing educational opportunity, you can expect to laugh and catch up with old business buddies. Expand your business network by meeting new people and laying a foundation for cultivating new relationships. You will learn so much from others who ask questions and share their thoughts on different topics.

You’ll find yourself opening up to fresh new perspectives that may allow you to see things in your business that you’ve never seen before. You are guaranteed to walk away with the motivation you need to finish the year off strong and plan for the next year. At the end of each conference, I’ve left with a feeling of  “I CAN DO THIS!”…Just knowing I have people there that will genuinely cheer me on means the world.

Oh, and I forgot to mention how fabulous the welcome party was! It’s a great time to let your hair down and be a guest at an event when we are usually on the other end.

So…are you sold??

Great news! Early registration is now open for Signature CEO Conference 2019.  I’ll see you there!


Guest Blogger • Markel Insurance • How to Cultivate Vendor Relationships

In the event planning business, you will be working with a variety of vendors. It is important to have good working relationships so you can be successful. Here are some tips to help you establish these essential relationships.

5 tips to better vendor relationships

  1. Expect to pay fair market value

Yes you want to give your clients a deal, but not at the expense of another vendor losing out. It is important to understand pricing in the event industry, so that you can negotiate fair pricing for both your client and the vendor you are partnering with. Do not expect special deals beyond what is reasonable. The vendor will be much easier to work with if you see their side of the business too.

  1. Refer other business to them

You already have your finger on the pulse of the event industry and most likely know other local event planners. If you like working with a particular vendor, reach out to your other industry contacts and recommend your preferred vendor to them. The vendor will appreciate the business and may give you better discounts in the future. They may also return the favor.

  1. Write glowing reviews

In addition to personally referring business to great vendors, take the time to write a favorable review for them on popular sites like Google and Yelp. This will make you appear more favorable in their eyes and they may in turn write a review for you too.

  1. Respect their opinion

You know a lot about event planning and have many opinions on vendors and their services. It’s important to let other vendors in the industry have a voice too. They are in their respective businesses because they have an expertise. When you are open to their views and vision for their part of the event, you will cultivate a great working relationship. This doesn’t mean giving in to ideas that won’t work for your client, but there might be some value in their thoughts that you hadn’t considered.

  1. Give thanks and praise

You both have jobs to do, but it’s always nice to be thanked for services even if the service is expected.  A “thank you” can go a long way, especially when it comes to establishing mutual respect and trust. In addition, it’s a nice gesture to praise a vendor for an excellent job in front of your client or potential clients. This could lead to more business for them.

We hope these tips help you foster great relationships with vendors.  When you cultivate relationships, you also start sharing best practices. Consider informing them about event insurance. They will thank you.

2016 Highlights | The Signature C.E.O. Conference | Day One

DAY ONE:

The Signature C.E.O. Conference this  year was held on the beautiful grounds of The University of Maryland campus at The Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center on October 31st and November 1st of this year.  The stage was set to bring together event professionals near and far of diverse professions with one goal in mind – to enhance their business acumen and to excel at business leadership.

THE SPEAKERS:

On Day One, the energy level was high!  Event Pros arrived totally engaged to learn new business techniques and to network with new and old friends.  Speaker, Jocelyn Delk Adams, award winning author and food blogger of Grandbaby Cakes, led the morning with an impactful lecture on key objectives such as following your curiosity to find purpose, developing growth and engagement, diversifying your reach and much more.  Her vibrant personality and wealth of knowledge definitely set the tone for the start of the conference.

signatureceo_conference_2016_073

Our second speaker, Myleik Teele, not only is a social media expert but she is a successful business owner, strategist, and innovator.  She is the founder of curlBOX, an exclusive monthly subscription box full of amazing products for the stylish entrepreneur.  Her lecture engaged the audience on “Taking your business to the next level with Social Media”.  She gave an indepth conversation on the explanation of the different social media platforms, how to drive lead generation, increase traffic to your website, incorporating brand personality and voice, embracing the visual, and much more.  Attendees were ready to take on social media at the end of her talk.

signatureceo_conference_2016_098

Speaker, Funlayo Alabi, (Co-Founder & CEO of Shea Radiance) addressed the audience on “How to Dare to be Different.”  One of her most stimulating points during her lecture stated, “The only asset that you have that is truly unique and cannot be duplicated or reverse engineered is you”.  Taking that one phrase and having it as a your mantra for anything you will help you to succeed and not worry about the competition.  You are your greatest asset.

signatureceo_conference_2016_131

signatureceo_conference_2016_147

The day continued with more of our dynamic speakers.  Tiffany Chalk of Tiffany Chalk Events touched on that very important question that we all have circling in our minds every day – are we pricing correctly and are we pricing based on our value.  Tiffany dove straight in…optimizing the pricing strategy, charging your worth – pricing to win, pricing to perform.  After her engaging talk, everyone was able to define strategies to identify their ideal client, how to value their time, and how to sell their service and not their price.

signatureceo_conference_2016_240

AllSeated Co-Founder, Sandy Hammer, addressed having an effective technology tool kit.  She identified business apps that will help business leaders to be more efficient managing their business and also save money.  She stressed that technology is our friend and that without it a business will not survive.  Don’t be behind the technology curve, be in front of it.

signatureceo_conference_2016_261

Meryl Snow of Meryl Snow Consultants definitely had the crowds attention with her infectious personality and a topic that everyone wants to perfect in their business – prospecting and closing deals!  Meryl stressed 5 easy rules to follow when closing the sale – treat closing as a process, set appropriate closing objectives, let close emerge from conversation, wait for the right moment, and celebrate your success.  When you are in front of your clients, always close for the sale.

signatureceo_conference_2016_302

To round out the end of day one, Brian Wendroff, led a discussion on the benefits of having an accounting system to manage and grow your business.  Brian is the founder of the accounting firm, Wendroff & Associates and is a certified professional QuickBooks instructor.  From keeping track of revenue expenses to monitoring cash flow and budgeting, to tax preparation and planning.  A wealth of financial information to keep wedding pros on track and having the ability to manage their finances with an effective accounting platform.
