The Second Social Selling Event Was A Success

Our event titled "How to find opportunities where there are none" was held about two weeks ago. We had a chance of connecting about 30 people with two amazing speakers; Daniel Rantala and Riikka Annika Keskitalo. Daniel is the CEO and Founder of Music Limited, CEO of Ground Zero and also the Vice President of Publishing for Fingersoft Limited while Rikka is a Personal Branding & Linkedin Trainer attached to Tom Laine and HC services OY.

The event is our second of its kind this year with some similarities with our maiden event, we believe personal branding and the ability to sell oneself is important in today’s world. From job searching, getting promotions at work, selling your ideas as an entrepreneur and surviving in the ever growing job market all requires individual personal skills + branding. 

Daniel was the first to put us through his growing career, from when he started as an IT support in 2009 to having his own company and now at Fingersoft. He opened up about his 3 personal principles and tips for major decision making (stairway to his dreams): a) being Active b) know your ask, most especially when meeting new people and c) to take the extra step. He encouraged us all to find our uniqueness and work on them with principles that would make us stand out among our peers. 

The second half of the lecture series started after a short break of pulla and drinks. Riikka attributed the growing success in her career to the fact that she decided to focus on her personal branding. This act she says as greatly influenced her actions in positive decision making. She puts us through the positive side of being active with our social selling side as it makes human connection easier and helps build trust.

The event came to an end with a networking hour. We were also privileged to have a tour of the Fingersoft office with Daniel. The event was a success as most attendees kept on asking when would be the next event.
