I attended my first networking event ever for my business yesterday at an event in the Lowry Theatre yesterday laid on by networking4business.com. I met lots of interesting people - from a private detective to a plumber handing out rubber ducks!! - and made a lot of useful contacts.
120 people attended the event in Studio 3 at the Lowry Theatre in Manchester, all of whom were extremely hot at the end of it (air conditioning next time would be a good idea)!
I will be following up all the useful contacts and interesting people that I made but I have to say, If you, like me are a new small business, get up, go out and start networking. This event was a brilliant way to meet new people and potential customers, and to start introducing yourself to the world.
For the princely sum of £10 I have met lots of contacts who I will be following up. I will definitely be attending the next one on the 22nd May.
Well, back to work and if we exchanged details in the Lowry, you may be hearing from me soon…
