Hi I'm new to the Network, but I'm considering going to a networking breakfast soon... anyone got anythoughts about these and what the form is i.e. is it very casual or is there a bit more structure??

Thanks!

Hi Sally,

Welcome. I am new too so can't really answer you question but the one that I went to was very relaxed and very welcoming.  We had breakfast, had a minute to tell everyone what we do and then had 3 1-to-1 meetings.  I enjoyed it so hope you will as well

All The Best,

Roarke

Hi Sally and welcome. The meetings are relaxed and informal and there is structure. It's open networking followed by breakfast and your 40 second opportunity to tell everyone about your business. Then you set up your three 10 minute appointments with the people you choose. A fellow 4N member then gives an insight to their business or some other aspect of their lives. Then you have your appointments, and your done!

It's always fun, relaxed and welcoming. Just bring £10 cash for the meet, business cards, leaflets and a great big smile.

Oh, and be yourself!

Hi Sally,

Welcome to the 4N Forum, a great place to discuss things and ask those questions that someone else just may know the answer.  The breakfasts are great, very relaxed and informal and a lovely way to meet all sorts of people involved in local business.  I remember feeling very apprehensive at my first breakfast, but that soon passed and I can't wait to go along now!  They are a great start to the day.

Hi, I'm also new and looking at ways to meet new people in my area within business to help me 'get out there' and 'get started'.

I'm hoping this is a networking group that really does work both ways - in that if someone helps me then I can help them and vica versa.

I'm working for a great company that has been arpund for quite sometime I need to make more people aware of what we do and the best way to do this is through referrals.

Will this work and is it worth signing up for? I like breakfasts, but I am looking for more than just food and coffee!!  

Many thanks
