October 2, 2013

All the N’s “November, Networking, Noledge and Nohow” – OK – not quite all the N’s but a great opportunity for people in business to get a great networking experience with the UK’s longest running, monthly lunch time networking organisation.

6thnovemberlunch

The event at Exeter Golf and Country Club starts with the seminar, before THE networking lunch, offering you the chance to benefit from the “A – Z of networking – your route map to successful networking”

Networking is definitely a buzz word today. Type “Networking” into Google and you get 670,000,000 results, type “business networking” and you get 433,000,000 results, “business networking events uk” 65,400,000 results and a mere 210,000 results for business “networking events exeter”.  But why?

With so much choice and material available there must be reason and combined with the facts that

  • People talk about it.
  • People hear about it.
  • People want to do it more effectively.
  • You have heard that it works
  • You have heard that it is a “waste of time”

There will be questions

  • But why?
  • Why do people network?
  • What do they hope to accomplish?
  • Why are there scare stories?
  • Could networking work for you and your business

This seminar will take you through the who, what why, where, when and how of networking – a whistle stop tour that will leave you better informed, more confident and inspired to network!  Hosted by Sean Humby – Director and host at Business Network (SW) Ltd – the UK’s longest running monthly, lunchtime networking organisation.  A collector and compiler of the top networking knowledge from around the globe – see here for more details, along with 

 

The seminar is followed by THE networking lunch where you will have the opportunity to meet

What is the NETWORKING lunch all about?

11.45am. Arrival for drinks before lunch; an informal free range networking session, you have a choice of wine, fruit juice or water.

12.30pm. Sit down for 2 course served lunch (bread rolls, main course and dessert with coffee) and formal networking at your table – you will sit on a table with 7 or 8 other decision makers – none of whom do what you do – a table host will ensure that each person get at least (and no more than) 3 minutes to introduce themselves and their business and the benefits that it brings to others.
During the lunch each decision maker at your table will have 3 minutes to explain to the others the benefits that you and your organisation can offer; the type of business that you are looking for and also how other businesses can help you. Quoting Oscar – your chance to  “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” 
 This is where the conversations lead to connections and collaborations that will make your business more successful.  To quote Oscar Wilde and as a useful tip whenever you go networking “I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.” – your diary will have great examples of the clients you work with, the clients you are looking to work with  and the success/benefits that you bring to them.
1.30pm – table to table networking – every person has a list of who’s at the lunch and at which table they are sat.  Your“The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out.” – Oscar Wilde
1.40pm – Lunch speaker – Guy Arnold – Great or Poor
Event finishes at 2pm – you still have the opportunity of carrying on your conversations, arranging a one to one, using the Hotel’s facilities.
All this is £34.00 (Inc VAT) covering seminar, coffee, 2 course served lunch with drinks incl. wine, delegate list, free car parking, follow up details after event – Generating an ROI on your networking
