The Business Room networking
Open the door to opportunity
Networking requires an investment of time and money, but it doesn’t always deliver a worthwhile return.
The Business Room networking is proudly different, providing a time-efficient and cost-effective way to build your contacts and find new opportunities which deliver to your bottom line.
What makes The Business Room work?
Little details make big differences. The frequency, meeting time, structure and content have all been carefully considered, to create the most effective networking format for members.
• Membership model attracts regular attendees who get to know you and your business
• Commitment to attending 9 meetings per year brings stability to the group
• Monthly meetings build valuable relationships between attendees
• Exclusivity per profession ensures a diverse membership and secures members’ slots
• A structured meeting format maximises your time spent at the meeting
• Visitors drive growth and new ideas, so we thank members who bring guests with a credit to their account
• Planning enables efficiency, so members receive full details of attendees and their requests in advance of the meeting
• Sharing knowledge speeds your learning, so every meeting involves a business topic discussion
• Added value gives you more for your money. As part of your membership you can visit other Business Rooms up to 4 times/year, (subject to lock-out), you receive free networking training to maximise your investment and time, a members hub increases your networking reach and a fortnightly social media Power Hour builds your on line presence
How are the meetings run?
The meeting structure is:

• A Business Exchange, where members respond to the requests for help and contacts and give testimonials
