Local Business Networking Event

The potential for growth and innovation lies within the local business community. In collaboration with Start-Up Greenwich, Local Marketing Made Easy is relaunching Business Club, the first in our Power of series. 

Join us as we cohost this new event for local business owners, start-ups, and aspiring entrepreneurs. Providing attendees with practical, actionable strategies, enhanced networking skills, and communication tactics—essential tools for any entrepreneur aiming for success. 

Attendees can expect to learn how to network effectively in a relaxed and welcoming setting, where they can make genuine connections powered by shared knowledge and mutual respect. No 30-second intros or awkward "who you are and what you do moments."

The event is on May 15th, 2024, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and it includes a networking lunch and is FREE.

Beyond the event, Local Marketing Made Easy is committed to empowering local businesses in partnership with Start Up Greenwich. Attendees can look forward to ongoing support through comprehensive marketing strategies, community-focused events, and workshops. The aim is to foster a thriving business community beyond just one event.

Open to all local business owners, start-ups, and entrepreneurs in the Greenwich area and beyond, Local Marketing Made Easy creates a space where businesses can shine, connect, and grow. This event is your gateway to a community, where you will discover what you can achieve when we unlock the Power of local together.

As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

Here are our top tips for maximizing networking for newbies or those who dislike it.

1. Ease into Networking: Start by interacting with acquaintances and gradually extend your circle to include their friends and eventually strangers at larger events.
2. Prepare and Have a Strategy: Understand what you aim to achieve through networking. Is it raising your profile, learning new skills, or generating referrals? Attend various events to find ones that align with your goals.
3. Step Outside Your Comfort Zone: Networking is about expanding your circle. Make an effort to meet people beyond your immediate acquaintances.
4. Listen and Engage: Show genuine interest in others. Ask open-ended questions to encourage discussion and find common ground.
5. Effective Follow-Up: Post-event follow-ups are crucial. As our American cousins say - the money is in the follow-up! Connect on LinkedIn and email, and consider setting up one-on-one meetings with key individuals to understand better and learn more about their business.
6. Offer and Ask for Introductions: Where possible, make referrals, and if you’re being introduced, update the referee on any progress. It's only polite, after all!
7. Assess Your Networking Success: Regularly evaluate if your networking efforts are helping you meet your objectives and adjust your strategy accordingly.
8. Networking Etiquette: Focus on building relationships rather than selling. Ensure your approach is respectful and aimed at mutual benefit. Who are you helping today?
9. Dress Appropriately and Be Memorable: Your appearance should reflect professionalism and make you approachable. Remember to smile, make eye contact, and practice open body language.

Good luck!
