Paul and Steve look forward to welcoming you soon to Connect South’s business community.
As serial networkers with more than 40 years’ combined experience, they have helped run several networks, including this Connect South. For over 15 years, they have also organised Surrey’s largest business show, Surrey Business Expo. Paul and Steve are ready to support you on your networking journey and look forward to meeting you.
Paul’s TOP TIP:
Networking is a long game. People need to know, like, and trust you before they exchange work or support. And remember, networking extends beyond the people in the room, each member has their own wider network and may already know your ideal client.
Steve’s TOP TIP:
Surveys suggest that 70% of new business for UK SMEs comes from networking and referrals, so treat networking seriously. Join several networks, plan your visits, and give this marketing channel the time and resources it deserves. Finally, offer support whenever you can, not only is it the right thing to do, you never know who someone may know.
