“Nice to see you, to see you nice” – Financial Q&A with networking lunch
“Nice to see you, to see you nice” as Bruce Forsyth (born 22/2/1928) says! And in a nutshell that is what networking is all about.
Business Network SW has been operating successfully in Bristol for over 24 years, and because we target senior decision-makers it is all about establishing meaningful business relationships – not a ‘hard sell’.
Research has long supported the view that networking is a key factor in the success of fast growth companies. It allows the business person to build new business relationships, ‘knowledge share’ and generate business opportunities at the same time.
- 84% of decision makers say they prefer in-person meetings.
- 85% of business owners say they build stronger, more meaningful business relationships during in-person business meetings
- 77% of directors say they prefer in-person meetings due to the ability to read body language and facial expressions.
- 49% of decision makers say they prefer in-person business meetings because they allow for more complex strategic thinking.
- 95% say face-to-face meetings are essential for long-term business relationships.
Don’t just take my word for it – come and chat to our members and let then tell you why they find our format so effective.
