Are you eager to explore new avenues in pushing your business forward but unsure where to start?
Business networking in Cheadle, Staffordshire will allow you to put the personal touch on developing the sort of contacts who can become real game-changers when it comes to referrals and support.
Business networking is about making quality connections that can make a difference to your company’s bottom line. Word-of-mouth recommendations remain absolutely invaluable when it comes to promoting your company and this is what referral marketing facilitates through networking events.
Networking meetings bring together companies to share recommendations that are built on trust, knowledge and first-hand experience. This gives those giving the recommendations, and those looking for services, confidence in the service or product they are investing in.
The formats, venues and sizes of networking meetings can change but the aim remains the same – they introduce businesses to each other so they can support each other through referrals.
Meetings are held either at breakfast, lunch or in the early evening to allow participants to enjoy a sociable meal while networking. One member of the group will often give a presentation to the group about their work, or helpful information they have to share.
The members will then offer referrals or thanks for work done. The group will also get the chance to socialise freely to discuss opportunities and to build connections.
Networking events are generally open to all sorts of businesses so members can expect to meet sole-traders representing themselves, or representatives of an SME.
All those at the networking event will be supportive of its aims and engaged in referral marketing by sharing their experiences of using other businesses or suggesting people they know who can help.
Groups can differ in size substantially with some groups restricting numbers to enrich the experience and the relationships made.
Within networking events it is not uncommon to see sector exclusivity, where only one business is allowed for a particular service or product to avoid in-group competition.
