During this presentation Gill will be helping you to identify ways to promote your business & attract new clients without it costing a fortune.
Post meeting:
You never know if a networking meeting is going to be a success. For my part this meeting meant I could meet up with clients I had only had conversation with on zoom or face time. I also met people I had previously met in March at Coffee & Natter in Bromsgrove and of course new faces that led to brilliantly interesting conversations.
What else happened - the Channel Four film crew turned up and not only filmed my presentation but also spoke and interviewed many of the business owners in the room. This very much hits home that we really never know who is watching and how many opportunities come out of networking.
