The Unique Enterprises is an active member of the business over breakfast club based in Faversham, Kent.
Fortnightly breakfast network meetings are held on Wednesday mornings from 6.30am at the Judds Folly Hotel, Syndale Park, Faversham. Kent ME13 0RH.
Networking is proven to be successful and helps grow business quickly to increase your sales in the most profitable way. Since joining the Faversham and Sittingbourne BOB club I have made many new business contacts and received referrals for new customers that are needing our print services that we offer. Relationships within the group are growing all the time with the regular fortnightly meetings.
At the breakfast meetings you have plenty of time to network and build key relationships with the other members in the group along with the many guests that attend through invitations. (if you would like to come and see whether this is the networking club for you, send me an email and I'd be happy to invite you as my guest!) gavin@the-unique-enterprises.co.uk
There is also a weekly zoom networking session held on a Monday morning combining members of the other clubs in Kent.
Benefits of networking
Some of the many advantages networking brings to businesses include:
- Build relationships - networking gives you the opportunity to connect with other businesses, helping you to establish effective relationships with key people across various industries, that you can call on if needed.
- Solutions to business problems - if you are experiencing a business problem networking may give you access to other people who have experienced similar issues in the past and can offer valuable advice and potential solutions to help you move forward. You may also find best practice guidance is promoted through business networks that can help streamline how you operate.
- Business opportunities - networking gives you an opening to other people and organisations that could lead to new business opportunities being identified or new partnerships established in the pursuit of new business ventures.
- Develop social skills - regular networking can help build your confidence when dealing with people and this can have a positive impact on future interactions you have with staff, customers and suppliers.
- Helping others - just as networking can provide you with helpful business advice and solutions, you in turn can be a source of help to others, giving you a great sense of pride and satisfaction. It will also help enhance your professional reputation.
- Benchmarking - networking gives your business the opportunity to measure how your business is performing against other similar organisations, giving an indication of your strengths and areas where improvement may be required.
- Raise your business profile - networking gets you and your business noticed by others and by establishing more connections and by regularly contributing to networks your business will become more reputable.
- New customers or suppliers - networking can help you identify new customers or suppliers either amongst the network members or based on recommendations from others in the group.
- Latest information - business networks can be a rich source of new industry developments, perhaps highlighting upcoming legal requirements or technological advancements in your sector.
