The Networking Group (TNG)’s Post

🍻Brew Up Business🍻 is one week away. This is our monthly discussion where we dive into a business development topic and learn from each other. April's topic is "how to get the most out of networking". This is NOT a one-sided presentation. It is a facilitated discussion with the goal of harvesting the collective wisdom of the group and sharing best practices. Even better, there will be ample time for...wait for it...networking! So you can immediately put into practice some of the tips you're learning. Did I mention this is all at a local craft brewery in Denver? It'll be a casual, laidback environment with conversations made better with a beverage in hand! So what are you waiting for?!? Sign up on Meetup right now: https://lnkd.in/gAF48b79 Wednesday, April 10th @ Diebolt Brewing 4:30-6:30pm #networking #buildingconnections #buildingcommunity #businessrelationships #businesspartners #referral #tips #bestpractices #discussion #freeevent #craftbeer #businessdevelopment #sales #conversations #professionaldevelopment #brewery #denver #leadgeneration

The foodservice industry is all about connections. Whether that be connections with our customers, with each other, or the produce that we’re making and serving. My advice to business owners in our industry is to foster connections in any way you can. Attend industry events, join online communities, and collaborate with other businesses to build relationships and create new opportunities. It’s important that we help each other to grow and succeed. What are some of the ways that you foster industry relationships and connections?

The Standout Business Meals "Introduce yourself with a picture, which represents a difficult event that happened and changed your life for the better"? This is the opening question in a business dinner I hosted. No titles, no companies or industries info in the beginning, but straight to the personal experience with a key visual. It turned out to be one of the most fun and authentic business dinners we had with many great professional discussions afterward. "Have a deep question to kick things off, that really set the tone, loved it!" One participant said. This dinner stands out. If you are like me, hosting business dinners/lunches for prospects, clients, industry events, or professional networking, do you ever wonder if these business meals "feel" similar except for different restaurants and hosted by different vendors? How do you know if you truly "build relationships" with the participants? As I'm exploring the art and science of hosting standout business meals, I will share my learnings with 1-2 ideas that you can implement. Stay tuned 💡 #Sales #CustomerSuccess #Businesslunch #Businessdinner #Networking

Had the absolute pleasure of hosting a 90 minute “Seminar in the Barn” for the lovely people at Fortem People Ltd over near Gargrave, North Yorkshire this morning. What a venue, what a view (and what a couple of rural farm smells - 😂) greeted me on arrival. A truly brilliant venue. Thanks Jane Vincent, Rachel Deeks and the Fortem Team for inviting me, organising the delegates and for creating such a diverse, engaged and enthusiastic audience - who I would also thank for creating a real in-room buzz. Loved it….. The Seminar was entitled “a Pick a Lane” in which I; - shared how sales has changed beyond recognition over recent years - how being a generalist no longer works - how finding an area to specialise in and “own” will pay great dividends - shared 7 different case studies to prove my concepts actually work - identified HOW to go about this - shared a list of do’s & don’t for the audience to both adopt and avoid in equal measure. Feedback has already been very positive and I look forward to working closely with at least some of the businesses in the room going forward. If you want to inspire your sales team or just think about re-energising your sales function, I would be happy to discuss. Off to turn this Seminar into a piece of digital content to share more widely too - let me know if you would want the link when it is ready either in the comments or via a DM. In the meantime, avoid those “coffee” meetings and cr*p advice about authenticity from people who should know better. 😂 #sales #salestraining #fortempeople #yorkshirebusiness Richard Mawson Ben Wilson Jonathan Brown Julie Verity David Wilford Victoria Burdess ☘ Anna Roberts

How big an impact can you make on customers and prospective customers by spending just a fraction of your annual budget WILDLY? In Will Guidara's book "Unreasonable Hospitality", the legendary former co-owner of the NYC restaurant Eleven Madison Park talks about the Rule of 95/5 where he says you should "manage 95 percent of your business down to the penny; spend the last 5 percent 'foolishly'." He goes on to say, "It sounds irresponsible; in fact, it's anything but. Because that last 5 percent has an outsize impact on the guest experience, it's some of the smartest money you'll ever spend." When you surprise your prospects, customers, staff, or event attendees with something special--a gift or experience they weren't expecting that comes out of the blue--it leaves such a positive lasting impression on them that they'll remember and talk about it with their coworkers, friends, and family for years to come. You don't have to spend a lot to make this happen at an event. You just need a little creativity and enthusiasm. Let me know when you're ready for a few ideas that will delight your event attendees and elevate your brand well above your competition. #corporateevents #meetingsandevents #fieldmarketing #trademarketing #womensempowerment #clevel #golfevents #leslieberkeconsulting
