Business networking is an effective low-cost marketing method for developing sales opportunities and contacts, based on referrals and introductions – either face-to-face at events, or by other contact methods such as phone, email, and increasingly social media and business networking websites.
It is also a great way of building you as your brand.
At Redbridge Means Business, there is informal networking across the day, be it over a coffee, on an exhibitor stand or after a seminar. We also run two speed networking sessions, one in the morning and afternoon.
Speed networking is the quickest way for you to meet a lot of people, some of whom could be your next customer or supplier. Make sure that you have perfected your elevator pitch and have plenty of business cards (see here).
