People
Talk online to 44835 members from across the UK and beyond. These aren’t just anyone; these are like-minded SMEs in your situation. They need customers, suppliers and help. You’re a click away from them...
4Networking is a platform for you and your business, use it to:
- Complete your online profile page
- Encourage customers to post testimonials
- Prepare a clear, compelling 40-second pitch: what makes you different??
- Deliver 10 minute 4Sight presentations at meetings (insights, please not sales pitches)
- Publish articles online and in our 4community magazine
- Advertise on this site and in 4community magazine
- At meetings, put offers on the bumf table, bring along a pull-up banner
- Be part of the leadership team: as we continue to expand, there are openings for Area Leaders, Group Leaders, Marketing Assistants & Operations Assistants.
- Participate in the forums: offer help and advice; become recognised as an expert; or just have a rant/giggle, depending on how your day is going... Don't try the hard sell, ease yourself in...
- Interact with other members: use our Personal Message (PM) service. If you are a full member, you have complete access to this. If you are an online only member, in order to respond to PMs, you will need to have made at least 5 forum postings. Think of this as a tiny vetting process, checking you're a 'real' member. If you send a message to someone, you want that reassurance too...
This site is #1 in Google for "Business Networking" and in the top 1000 most visited sites in the UK, so anything posted on your profile or on the forum zooms up Google. Why struggle with SEO drudgery on your own site: ride on the back of this site's traffic and get noticed online.
Appointments
Online networking is great, but the life-blood of your business is face-to-face appointments. Every 4Networking breakfast meeting gives you 3 ten minute appointments with people you choose…at events you choose. Why not invite target prospects along to a breakfast event for a great ‘neutral territory’ meeting?
With 293 linked groups across the UK, there’s probably a choice of groups near you. Each group meets fortnightly, book yourself in. With a 4Networking Passport you can network up to 4 times each week. That’s a lot of appointments…
Business
4Networking works. 4 years in, it’s a proven fact. Leads, suppliers, orders, collaborations, bartering, tendering and yes, referrals, are happening every day. Find customers in the room or through the room; online or at breakfast meetings.
Oh, and every supplier and collaborator your business requires is here too; it’s easy to search our database.
Support
Working for yourself; we know all about boxroom isolation. At 4Networking there’s a whole support network to overcome that. Business advice, social networking, a chat and a gossip…all human life is here.
Members look out for each other in ways that continue to astound. This is real, practical help from people who understand your situation.
So, welcome: use 4Networking in ways which best suit you; tailor it to your needs and your personality; make it part of you and your business
