SUMMARY:Why Networking Isn’t Turning Into Deals — And What To Do Instead
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1991195256614?aff=oddtdtcreator \nNetworking is one of the most common business development activities in oil & gas\, energy\, and industrial sectors. But for many companies\, networking is not consistently turning into real opportunities.\nYou’re attending events.\nYou’re meeting people.\nYou’re having conversations.\nYou’re building relationships.\nBut the pipeline does not always reflect it. \nThis session is designed to break down why networking often fails to convert into deals—and what companies can do differently to turn conversations into qualified opportunities and real business development momentum.\nBecause networking alone is not a strategy. A strong relationship can open the door\, but without structure\, follow-up\, and clear movement\, opportunities often stall before they ever become real pipeline. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nWhy networking alone does not create predictable growth\nThe difference between visibility\, conversations\, and actual pipeline\nWhere most companies lose momentum after an event or introduction\nHow to follow up in a way that creates real opportunities\nHow to turn relationships into qualified conversations and deal flow\nWhat a simple system looks like for moving from connection to opportunity \nWho Should Attend\nOil & gas operators and service companies\nEnergy and industrial organizations\nExecutives\, business development leaders\, and sales teams\nFounders and operators responsible for growth\nCompanies that attend events\, conferences\, and industry gatherings but want better conversion from those conversations\nEvent Format\n30–40 minute presentation\n15–20 minute discussion and Q&A\nOptional networking following the session \nAbout the Speaker\nJada Powell is the Founder of Powell Consulting Group\, where she works with oil & gas\, energy\, and industrial companies to build structured\, repeatable business development systems that drive consistent pipeline and revenue growth.\nHer work focuses on helping mid-market companies move beyond relationship-driven growth into more scalable\, measurable commercial strategies. \nThis session is part of The Pipeline Series: How Oil & Gas Companies Actually Grow Revenue\, a monthly in-person series at The Ion focused on helping oil & gas\, energy\, and industrial companies create more consistent pipeline\, stronger follow-up\, and better conversion from conversations to revenue.
