Loved the response! Brings together The Jacksons and Art Blakey!
One of the key aspects of networking is meeting people face to face. As Art Blakey said “If you are not appearing you are disappearing”
Easier said than done – possibly!
My key role as someone who organises events for a living is to get people together. When people are together then conversations ensue and connections and relationships are formed.
The getting people together is an art and one that is constantly developing – using direct mail, email, telephone calls, postcards, Face Book, Twitter (and all the other social media platforms) Blogs and many other ways too numerous to mention.
Anyway my last piece of correspondence, an email with the following subject line
Penultimate email for Bristol Business Network
and the opening lines
that led into the full details of the event – you can see details here
And the response I received from Ken Abbot – Redwing Excel* – was FANTASTIC!!!!
“Number 4 hit for the Jackson 5 in 1970…!”
Can you work it out???
This has now inspired me to share my article “Why Networking Works” as described by chart singles! Watch this space

The cancellation of the West Coast mainline rail franchise last year was put down to “technical flaws”. The problem was actually due to incorrect formulas in the spreadsheet used for the calculations. If only they had come to us!
