Making networking that bit more attractive.

26 May 2010 / Posted by Holly Wood
  Here is a very simple statement "I hate flat shoes" and it is very rare that I ever don a pair of flats. 

Now considering the amount of networking I do , its means I have very very sore feet most days .
A day must not go by without me complaining about the pain in my feet, but will I take those fabulous heels off... NOPE!
 


With this pain in my feet, a very interesting thought came over me... Why do I put myself through the pain of wearing such stupid shoes?
But still I put them on every single day?

This brought me to a favourite saying of my formidable grandmother Joan;


 If you always do what you always have done, you will always get what you have always got “

So, would you like to gain new clients by simply changing the way you attract them?


 With My Networking PA’s help, you could have several new clients directly in front of you by simply changing your method of attracting them ... how I hear you ask? 

Do you sometimes find yourself thinking “I know I should go to more networking events but I need to be in the office?” 

 Never fear, if you cannot get to networking events then let My Networking PA bring the event directly to you, “attractive” concept I hear you think?

Mountains coming to Mohammed, you know where I am heading with this.
You could not only save your valuable time but also highlight your business uniquely by using the MNPA expert help to attract you potential new clients by holding a one off networking event in your office. 

We attracted the “Mountain to Mohammed“At the premises of our good friends at Multisolutions here is what MD Ian Denny had to say. 

“I hate those client quotes where people drone on about the great service so-and-so delivers. They rarely capture the true essence of the experience the client received. Well this is an exception. In our case, our expectations were met 6 times more than we expected. 126 delegates confirmed their attendance.  I was only counting on around 20. And pretty much all of them turned up! We had a queue outside for an hour as people crowded in.


Using My Networking PA to promote an event is not just about the work they put in inviting people to your event. Although that’s obviously very useful. They have an enviable brand now in Merseyside, Manchester and expanding throughout the North West and beyond. If you see an event that Holly and her team are behind, you instantly want to attend.

That’s because you know there will be a great turn-out.And the team will be on hand to make sure you are introduced to relevant people. If you’re thinking of running an event, or considering a change of provider, then please don’t hesitate. In my case, I’m certainly glad I didn’t dither over the decision to engage them.”  

My Networking PA can provide you and your business with a receptive audience to push your company’s products and services to, just as Multisolutions did with their event.

 We attract the people and bring their potential business directly to you with a unique networking event.

My Networking PA can target certain sectors and business types to ensure you can reach a good portion of your target market. Which in turn can mean an increase in sales and simply because you have to spoken to the right person at the right time.
My Networking PA makes your business attractive by removing receptionists, removes switch boards and generic email addresses. You get the decision makers right in front of you.

We even give them a drink and in many cases, our clients make connections and...Wait for it... get the business.  Why don’t you stop chasing business for one special night and let My Networking PA attract the potential business right to you with an event in your place of work?

MNPA has got a new American BFF

MNPA has got a new American BFF

 

This bank holiday weekend started with a great networking twist. Whilst having a drink (ok who am I kidding, several glasses) at one of Liverpool’s hidden gems, Studio 2, I found my new American BFF!


Now as we all know I can literally talk the leg of anybody so it should come as no surprise to any of you that after sinking a few I got chatting to two very lovely ladies from the states. They had come over here to see the Beatle mania and generally to have a jolly good nose about Liverpool.
Now if I am honest these two ladies looked very normal with just a hint of tourist about them (the fact they had an ‘I pad’ was a dead giveaway).

 

Maybe due to the several glasses of wine I had consumed, I simply didn’t catch on to the people they were talking about from back home and carried on suggesting  great places to eat and visit whilst here in sunny Merseyside...what can I say it is the PA in me?

Now as the evening sped on my friends ended up joining Carol and Audrey (my new American BFF’s) and we all got talking about our jobs, the joys or distains for them. Being Holly Wood I took centre stage and was going on and on about business networking (a mixer I believe it’s called in the States) and how everyone should always be on the look out to make good connections.

 Both of my new BFF’s handed me their cards which I shoved into my purse (ok, handbag am I getting too American on y’all yet?). Now after leaving these two very delightful ladies, it dawned on me that they seemed to know many famous bands on very personal terms, I delved into my purse and lo and behold, one of these two charming birds (I had been teaching them ‘scouse’ words I think ‘boss’ was their favourite) was the vice president for one of the world’s largest record labels...WOW!!

Now what a connection to make!

So networking can happen anyway, anywhere and at anytime .Connections can be made however big or small in the most usual of ways.

MNPA and my new American BFF’s are now in contact and you never know where it could lead. So folks always keep your business cards on you, and remember that one chance meeting could be the next client you’re looking for.

So if we get stateside you know where it started...a simple card passing, in a pub, in Liverpool!
