“You need a lot of different types of people to make the world better” Joe Louis b 13/5/1914

The Exeter Business Network event yesterday at Exeter Racecourse and Conference Centre brought together numerous people from numerous businesses and organisations for numerous conversations, filled with energy and enthusiasm! I can only quote Robert Kiyosaki here as I saw lots of rich people growing and building their networks!

Joe Louis used the words “a lot” and I have picked that theme up using the word “numerous”!

The event opened with a seminar hosted by me (Sean Humby!!!) on networking – growing and building again – a whistle stop tour of the why, when, where, what, who and how to get the best from any networking that you do

Full of discussion, top tips, conversation and advice on the numerous ways of getting more from your networking!

THE networking lunch where there were numerous conversations taking place athe the different points – conversations over drinks, at the hosted tables where every person spoke about their business/organisation and the benefits that it brings to others, the table to table networking using the seating plan where numerous people were listed!
