HOW TO GET BUSINESS THROUGH NETWORKING EVENTSNetworking – ah, I can almost hear you cringing. There are far too many networking events aren’t there and unfortunately they’ve been given a bad name because business owners have been promised lots of business from these events and very few live up to that expectation. How many networking events do you go to where you expect to get some business and even though you make an effort before, during and after the event, nothing comes from it? Annoying isn’t it and frustrating. And does this mean that you stop going to networking events as a result? I do believe that it is possible to get business from networking events and to make them work successfully for you. But, I also know that networking events have changed considerably in the last few years and to make them work you have to also change your approach to them too. On our April workshop, I’m going to share with you how I’ve made networking work for my business and how you can too. We’re going to cover: • Which events should you be going to? • What you absolutely need to do before, during and after the event • How to explain what your business does in 30 seconds or less and get people asking for more information • Why you’re missing a trick if you don’t do two simple things after the event • What to do with all those business cards you collect • How to work the room effectively and ‘get away’ from people without causing offence.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?At the end of the workshop, you’ll come away with a plan which means that you’ll get business from almost every networking event you go to in the future.You’ll receive handouts throughout the session to refresh your memory when you get back to your desk and we’ll even send you a recording of the key points you learnt on the workshop which you can listen to again at your convenience. We’ll even send you a certificate to confirm you’ve attended too. WHO RUNS THE WORKSHOPS?The workshops are led by me, Helen Dowling. I’m a small business owner too so I understand how you feel about marketing and what you’d like to know. We’ve taught many, many small businesses owners the tools and techniques we’ll be passing to you with some fantastic successes. One lady told us that her turnover had doubled after coming along to one of our workshops! I know you’ll need to take time away from your business to come onto the workshop – that’s why we keep them to a maximum of 2 ½ hours. And if you attend the workshop and don’t come away with at least one useful tip that you can apply to your business straight away, we’ll refund your money – no questions asked!
WHAT SORT OF PEOPLE COME ONTO THE WORKSHOPS?So far, over 300 business owners have now attended our workshops and 98% have rated them as good or excellent. Why not come along and see how our workshops can help your business too? “Relaxed style, putting participants at ease. Well organised and at the right level”“Very good and tailored to meet the delegate’s needs.”“Clear, concise and very enjoyable.”“It was great being able to share common experiences in a non-judgemental, supportive environment.”“It has reinforced that marketing can work for me! Always relaxed and humorous.”“Just great! I loved the ideas, style, easy layouts and I had several lightbulb moments.”“Open and engaging style. Very relevant and practically focused. Chance to look at things afresh.”The groups are kept small – maximum 12 participants so that you receive some individual attention and there are no ‘scary’ activities like role playing or giving a presentation to the group. The workshops are meant to be fun, interactive and give you plenty of help with what to do next.
