ScreenPlayLab tips for being good in the room...
1. Although the mixer is a party, it's also everyone's opportunity
to practice being good in the room, to be someone who people
remember as wanting to work with someday. Please come to the
event as your most upbeat self.
2. Be ready to tell a brief positive story about yourself,
where something you did in the industry turned out better than
you expected. Maybe you nailed an audition, got a meeting, whatever.
Present yourself as a winner, as someone who is thankful for
any successes.
3. Avoid giving opinions on second-hand information. Do not
talk about Octo-Mom or Britney Spears or anyone else in the tabloid
news who you don't know personally. You may be speaking to someone
who does know them. Regardless, you don't want to be remembered
as the one who talked about Octo-Mom.
4. Avoid complaining or mentioning failure, which is the same
thing. Nothing succeeds like success.
5. Work the room. Meet as many people as you can without rushing.
Let people know what you aspire to do, that maybe they can help
with. Ask every person how you can help them. If you can't help,
try to suggest someone who can. Offer your connections, not your
advice.
6. Say the other person's name at least three times in conversation.
It shows you're a people-person. Others will be silently grateful
that you helped them to remember names.
7. Say your name at least three times per conversation. Make
it easy to remember you.
8. Say what you like or admire. When someone offers good news,
be enthusiastic.
9. To encourage others to talk about themselves, ask how they
got started in the business.
10. When you leave, don't forget to say goodnight to your
host. That's me, Robin Rowe, or my partner Gabrielle Pantera.
Be good in the room. Thank you!
