“What do we live for; if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?” – T.S. Eliot born on 26th September 1888

Among those who have booked

On 26th September 2012 at the Taunton Business Network event you have the opportunity of making your life easier – opportunities to build relationships with people who can enhance your business and your custo mers businesses.  Opportunities to build relationships with potential suppliers, potential buyers and certainly advocates and ambassadors.

All you have to do is come along to THE networking lunch at Somerset County Cricket Club on 26th September, bring your passion and enthusiasm for your business and how it benefits people, some business cards and everything else is done for you.

Name badges, attendee list, 2 course served lunch with drinks and coffee all provided along with numerous decision makers.  Your conversations are at the table not to the whole room – you have time to ask questions and answer  questions with the other decision makers around the table.

If you can say “yes” to any of the following questions then feel free to get your invitation

• Do you want to generate opportunities that will enhance your business?
• Do you want to build mutually beneficial relationships with other decision makers?
• Do you want your networking to relaxed and comfortable?
• How about business seminars that can positively impact your business?
• Would a huge variety of contacts be useful to your business?
• Do you want the opportunity to promote your business and expertise?
• Do you want a team of advocates and ambassadors for your business?
• What about generating an ROI on your networking?

How THE Networking lunch works for you

Starts at 11.45am with pre- lunch drinks and informal networking – your opportunity to talk and start to build relationships with the numerous decision makers. Each person has a name badge along with their company/organisations name – there is nothing better that when you use a person’s name and when they use yours.

At 12.30pm everyone sits down at a table – the seating plan has been arranged so that you sit with other decision makers – none of whom do what you do. There is a table host at each table and they are there to ensure that you get the most from the next session.

Once sat Sean Humby – Business Network SW Director and host for the event will begin the lunch with a brief introduction to the next 90 minutes – time for you to spend developing and enhancing your business.

You and everyone around the table exchange business cards and the table host then starts the round of 3 minute “presentations”. You do this only to the others around your table. This is done as your 2 course lunch (bread rolls followed by a main course and then dessert with coffee – dietary requirements can be catered for) is served. A multi-tasking session – listening, eating and talking! Pens and note pads are provided to enable you to make notes

Around 1.30pm you will have the opportunity to network around the room – you will have a copy of the seating plan which lists everyone attending , their name, business name and what their business does and importantly what table they are sat on.

At 1.40pm there will be a speaker – a Business Network SW member – delivering something informative, entertaining, enlightening. 

The lunch finishes at 2pm and you have the opportunity to continue your conversations, set up a follow up meeting or have a one to one. The hotel has extensive lounge facilities for you to use.

Who says it works?

Why not invite along some of your established customers and thank them for their business. And, if you mix in a few prospective customers, your existing customers will take every opportunity to explain just why they do business with you!!

You could arrange with another Business Network SW Member to share a Corporate table, each of you bringing along two or three customers. You can then all sit together, share ideas, stories, solutions etc. thus creating a really positive business atmosphere.

Everybody is a winner, you each get access to potential customers and the guests have an enjoyable lunch in stimulating company.  Guests who join will earn you a a bottle of bubbly*
