HOW often have you heard people in businesses say ‘it’s not what you know but who you know’?
In days past it might have meant membership of the right golf club or gentleman’s clubs, a masonic lodge or being a regular visitor to your local pub.
Now, while much of this still remains, the most popular and efficient way to get to know fellow business people these days is to go networking.
Networking groups meet morning day and night in Northamptonshire, where a variety of business owners are available giving you the opportunity to form strong strategic alliances to develop your business and also to allow you to offer help for others as well.
Meeting business owners in a friendly environment encourages you to form friendships and business alliances that would otherwise be difficult to achieve and this should be one of your main goals when out networking.
Mike Willis CEO of the double award winning Networking Group of the Year said:
“It is a proven fact that networking groups have contributed immensely to increased business across the UK and my advice to any business owner who has not tried it yet is to visit one or two groups and find the one that suits your business and yourself as well.
(See listings on back page of this paper).
“Not everyone likes early mornings and lunchtime, evening meetings do not suit everyone either, so my advice for you is to try before you buy!
“Now in its twelfth year and with our other Business Club in Bucks celebrating its first anniversary with a combined total of approaching 150 members, we offer not only networking over dinner but also include sales, marketing, networking, business planning training and much more for our members.”
