Meeting and Greeting

With the General Election moving swiftly before us, I am devoting a number of podcasts and blogs to the types of skills that any budding politician will need in order to succeed and be elected. In this week’s Superstar Communicator Podcast, I share top tips on how  ‘Meeting and Greeting’ your local electorate well, impacts on your success.

In the podcast, I share tips including:

• Be fully prepared
• Know exactly who you are going to be seeing for each visit
• Modify your message to be appropriate for your audience
• Anticipate what local issues might be for your different audiences
• Use these meeting and greeting situations as great media opportunities.
