High Street, Fareham, Hants

With only two weeks to go before the launch party, I wanted to make sure you have the date firmly in your diary.

If for any reason you haven't yet sent an RSVP to my VA Tracy, then it still isn't too late!

This evening is a fantastic 'not to be missed' networking opportunity and not only that it is FREE!

Gone are the days when networking events were about how many business cards you could collect and trying desperately to sell your business services and pick up a client or two within the space of an hour.

Today, networking events are full of enthusiastic people who want to meet with like minded others who are in a similar situation to themselves. Working from home can be lonely at times, so where else can you talk passionately about your business?

So how do I get business by networking then, I hear you ask?

It simply comes through getting to know others, its a known fact in business that people buy from those they like, know and trust so understandably it takes time to build relationships, for people to really get to know you so that they feel confident in recommending you to their friends and contacts.

Here are a few of my top tips for getting the best out of networking by using the business cards you collect
write comments on the back about how you could help that person, what do they need?
write a brief description to help you remember who handed the card to you.
ask them if they would like to receive your newsletter ( write the response on the business card)
keep in touch, email them and thank them after the event
maybe suggest meeting for a coffee - there are huge benefits to making friends with other business women, many friendships start this way and can lead to major pieces of working being won.

Come and try out these tips for yourself on 23rd October.
There are also a few suprises in store, a special guest and a chance to discover more about the new services and products 'Accelerating your Business' provides.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
