7 Solid Reasons to Attend our Speed Networking Events
1. Accelerate business contacts and maximize your time
Meeting new contacts face to face can be the best way to start any business relationship. At speed networking events, you get the chance to put yourself in front of a range of companies in one setting in a short space of time, making this one of the most efficient networking activities to get involved in.
2. Build your circle of influence by getting in front of the right people
Networking events are also a great way to reconnect with contacts from the past and to re-ignite potential opportunities, expand your network, increase your circle of influence, and build a wider audience for you and your brand.
3. Connect and network by exchanging business contacts
If you’re looking to network to meet new connections, you simply cannot afford to miss speed networking sessions. These fast-paced, fun networking sessions allow you to have one-minute meetings with up to 20-30 people. Make sure you arrive early to secure your seat and remember to bring plenty of business cards with you.
4. Do more than just pass a card, build a stronger connection
Connect with like-minded people face to face and network one on one with local business people. Build a stronger personal connection, by getting to know the face behind the name and more about the person on a human to human level. This is ever more important in our online and digital world.
5. Stay at the forefront of your customers’ minds with consistent visibility
Present your business consistently at regular intervals to local business people with the ultimate goal to connect and network, and to grow your business organically. Consistently interacting in this way will build the ‘know, like, trust’ relationship, and build brand credibility.
6. Fun and fast paced to build long lasting relationships with new & existing customers
Build long lasting relationships with new and existing customers, and meet future customers in a consistent and structured way in an environment which is fun and fast paced. Grow your business organically over the next 6 to 12 month period.
7. Gain attention to interact and share information and raise awareness
Perfect your 30-second pitch and build credibility by sharing concise and important statements for your business to gain attention and prompt networkers to meet you after the event over coffee for a deeper and better understanding of your business.
