Each week members and visitors get a chance to promote their business in a 60 seconds spotlight session and tell the group what connections they are looking for.

This is followed by a Testimonials & Referrals session to encourage leads for members and visitors while details are still fresh in peoples’ minds. The testimonials are a useful mechanism for providing positive feedback on the business activities of those in the room.

There’s no pressure to bring referrals to meetings – our group works on the basis that if you think you can provide a lead or referral, you simply make that connection for the business involved. If you’re not sure about making the connection straightaway, book a 1-2-1 meeting with the other party and get to know them better. These really allow you to build trust and cement business relationships.

We finish meetings with Activity Sessions that vary each week and are open to members and visitors alike. These may include detailed presentations to highlight a particular business, case studies, business or group development and education slots on topical subjects; all designed to help owners improve their business.

People often find suppliers for services they need or form connections with businesses they can work with to help their own clients.
