Business Essentials

Two fundamental topics – in one day!

Every business owner needs connections, otherwise who knows about you, your business? So the answer to “Must I?” is a resounding – Yes! Turning up just isn’t enough. You need to make the most of your time there, whether this is online or offline – after all, your time is money, . And then what do you do with those connections after the event? Just move on to another event? Or?

The day is packed with essentials to help you make those connections and love those connections – the gold of your business.

Trainer for the day is Jackie Groundsell. Not only qualified by certification but also by experience. With 24+ years running her own businesses , Jackie is not only an experienced business owner, she’s also a bit IT savvy (CertEd FE). She is also said to have been networking since birth!

NETWORKING

During the first session of the day, Jackie will share her Networking expertise and hard-earned first-class Tips. Leaving you set for the challenges of your next networking event in a far better place. At ease and rewarded by the success of “getting it right” and not just coming away with a pile of business cards that sit on the corner of your desk, unloved, for several months.

EXCEL

Which leads nicely onto the second session of the day. Exactly what do you do with those business cards after networking, or even the notes from your notebook? Excel is famous for its “number crunching”. Bring along your laptop and charger for this hands-on session of building a database that can be used forever with your business, but will  also upload well into other software as and when needed.

Networking for Your Business Success

Whether online or offline, the following questions often arise when thinking about business networking:

• Why network? Must I?
• Am I making best use of my time?
• What should I wear?
• How can I be better?
• Is this really what should happen?
• Who do I talk to?
• What do I say?
• Where should I go?
• Will they want to talk to me? What if they don’t want to talk to me?
• What do I do afterwards?

This 2.5 hrs session will answer all these questions and much more, get you back on track, and help you make the most of your networking time – for your business growth.
