Time to put your convincing skills to the test. Learn the Jedi mind tricks to secure a free ticket to Catalyst!
Do you want to visit the hottest conference in crypto, but have to work?
Fear not, CoinMarketCap has you covered!
Here's a step-by-step guide for getting your boss to cover the expense of your ticket to Catalyst.
Step 1: Plant the Seed
Do some research on your company's professional development benefits package and start asking subtle yet inquisitive questions related to it. This will help you develop a strong understanding of what might be covered and where Catalyst fits into it.
Mention that the conference sounds like a great event to network. Show off your newly-acquired crypto knowledge during office conversations.
Step 2: Start Crushing It at Work
Time to buckle down and showcase your worth.
Make sure your efforts are noticed by those who matter. Demonstrate your exceptional work ethic and take on projects or tasks that add value, so your boss will be more inclined to invest in your professional growth.
Step 3: Utilize Social Media
Interact with Catalyst's social media posts – retweet them and comment or tag your boss when appropriate. Do this and you'll keep the event on their radar. Your enthusiasm for development will shine through.
Step 4: Time Your Request
Timing is crucial. Position your request right before prices go up. Because tickets are limited and those who come first get served first. And if you come last, you may not get served at all because all tickets are gone. Missing out on the next hot thing has never worked too well in crypto.
Get in early, and you will show your boss the financial benefit of acting sooner rather than later. Plus you will appear thoughtful and strategic. Every boss values that.
Step 5: Make Your Case
Now that the groundwork is done, present your case to your boss in a respectful but firm manner. Highlight the benefits that the company stands to gain by sending you to Catalyst:
- You will hone your skills.
- Your loyalty will go through the roof
- You will bring new insights and contacts back to the office.
Step 6: The Follow-up
Persistence is key. If you don't get an immediate yes, keep repeating the steps in different ways and keep following up. Your dedication to professional growth and attending Catalyst will shine through.
