On avarage, I will attend around five to six networking meetings per week. Over the last few years I have tried lots both local to me and others in different areas. The investment I make into these groups i would expect a return back at the least of three times the original joining fee.
Born in 1971, I own three companies and I am a director of another organisation. Two of the companies I own are Internet based and the Networking meetings I attend play a major part in building relationships with both existing and new clients.
A few years back, I started to see the potential in Social Networking and have profiles on most of the major sites. Over time, I will share the ups and downs of Networking, The good and bad points of Networking and how you can make networking do the business for your organisation.
