Omni Local Business Networking

Venue: David Lloyd Brooklands, Brooklands Road, Weybridge, Surrey.

Price: £12

The meetings are every fortnight, and the breakfast meetings start at 7.30 *. This gives you plenty of time to miss the rush hour traffic!

You have three breakfast options:

• Full English
• Vegetarian
• Continental

Please note that if you have any special dietary requests which are not covered above we will need payment at least 2 days in advance. We will also need to know about any food allergies within 48 hours of the meeting.

We start with open networking then you:

The meeting is opened by our group director and then starts with a 1 minute round, split into 3 parts as follows:

• 15 seconds to introduce yourself and your business
• 25 Seconds to explain what you would need to help your business or what kind of clients you are looking for
• 20 seconds to ask for an ideal referral

While breakfast is being served we pass around a stack of your business cards for other members to contact you later.

Once breakfast is out of the way we then go to the 1-2-1 selection round. This is where you set up a 1-2-1 within the room before you leave.

Moving on, there is a Pitch Platform which is where one of the members has 10 minutes to talk about their business. This is followed up with a hot question round where you can ask for advice and how they can help your business. This is where you will get FREE advice from the Pitch Platform member.

We then have a coffee break (5 mins) which is your chance to speak to someone of interest you have heard about. If you have already got your 1-2-1 try and arrange a meeting outside the networking room.

Then you go to your relaxed, non-rushed 1-2-1 meeting you have set up, for 15 minutes.

Time for testimonials and thanks. This is where anyone in the room can thank others for any kind of support ie any business referrals, free advice given and meetings they have gained as a result of meeting that person

Before we close we have members’ events and announcements and then we close before we hold the FREE SPEED seminar.

The Pitch Platform

The pitch platform is whatever you want it to be. Other networks will ask you not to sell during this time; however, this is your chance to tell everyone about your business and how the members would benefit from using you and your services. You can show off a skill you possess, you can promote service, a customer’s experience or talk about anything you like. It’s YOUR moment. You will get 10 minutes of everyone’s focused attention; every member will get an opportunity to present themselves and their business to the group. It is designed this way for two reasons:

1. If people don’t know anything about how they can benefit for your services, then they should.
2. When people can see how good you are you are more than likely to make it easier for others to recommend your services.

After all we are NetWORKING!

Trust us, the friendship and relationship aspect of networking is a byproduct. It will happen!
