THERE is an old saying ‘It is not what you know but who you know’ and that really rings true when you are involved in running a business. In days gone by there were not as many networking groups as there are today and contacts were made socially in pubs, golf and sports clubs and through personal contacts. These ways still remain, of course, but now there are many established networking groups offering businesses a wide choice of opportunities.
Across Northamptonshire you can find breakfast, lunchtime and evening groups and specialised groups for women and some groups for their own industries and all of these are designed to offer opportunities to expand your list of useful contacts to eventually create more business.
It is worth visiting more than one group to find which of them suits your particular business and your personality because you will discover certain differences between the groups.
Our choice is to meet in the evenings, where we find people are much more relaxed having finished their working day and they can enjoy three well-organised meetings a month, networking over dinner followed by a full meeting ending at 8.30pm.
We are there to specifically create opportunities to do business with each other and through the large number of contacts that every Business Club member and guests possesses.
We strongly encourage our members to use each other wherever possible and millions of pounds of business has been achieved through our networking activities since we began in 2007.
We include networking, sales, marketing and business training in our package together with many unique ways of promoting member’s businesses in order to get a real return on investment.
We have also launched The Business Club Bucks based in Milton Keynes and have recently added TheNew2BusinessClubNorthants designed specifically to assist start-up and emerging businesses.
So there are many beneficial reasons for your business to try networking and to discover more about The Business Club Northants and to book a guest visit go to www.thebusinessclubnorthants.co.uk or call 01604 529173 or email
