Just got off the phone after chatting to one of the BforB members here in Hull. He told me about a meeting he had with a colleague in the same sector that he had after BforB.
He has been a member since December and his take on things went along these lines:
"This networking stuff works. I went to see colleague over in Leeds, just phoned him up for a cuppa and a chat. Any way there are some interesting possibilities I found out after talking with him."
"I can't see why more people don't do it. I can see what you mean when you keep banging on about Know Like and Trust".
To be honest this bloke is a top BforB man who brings at least if not more to each meeting than he takes away.
But by taking time for his business, away from working in his business and buying into KLT the personal as well as business benefits are accruing.
Its simple: make time for a cuppa, people like meeting people and when you offer something as nice as good company you lose no more than a quid (or more if you are into one shot lattes with chocolate on top).
