There are two truisms in business and they are that the best jobs never reach the open market and the clients who want the things that we supply rarely take out adverts to tell us! That is why we have to get out and build our network! But if you think networking events are just about about selling then you have got it all wrong.
Who is it For?
Anyone who has to build a network and anyone for whom the idea of attending networking events fills them with gloom and despondency. It is also for organisations that organise events for their clients and want to strengthen their relationship with them (rather than just provide them with free food and drink).
