BizChat online business networking 23rd September 2024

Do you sometimes struggle to make the time for networking? BizChat could be your answer.

This week’s business development topic is… tbc

What is BizChat?

BizChat is a FREE drop-in session on the same Zoom link, at the same time 1.30-2.15, every week except bank holidays and the two Mondays closest to Christmas.

• 45 minutes of conversation and learning.
• Brief introductions (one sentence) to all present.
• Two 6-7 minute one to one conversations in break out rooms.
• One short business development slot led by a member.
• Small group discussion based on the week’s development topic.
• What’s on update for the next two weeks.

Register once and we’ll send you the link which you can use to join us whenever you are free.

What can you expect at BizChat?

Because BizChat is a drop-in session we never know quite what will happen. Numbers vary week by week but are typically 10-12 people. The format works however many people attend.

We attract a mix of regulars and visitors. They can come from anywhere but are invariably based in England (but we’d welcome people from further afield)

You’ll get a warm welcome. Our regulars love to meet new people.

Do you find networking difficult? Maybe you struggle to know what to talk about or how to approach a stranger… we’ll suggest a topic for each conversation. You don’t have to use it, but it can break the ice.

The business development slot aims to stimulate your thinking. We may share an inspiring business, a tool that can help you be more organised or an aspect of business that we often put on the backburner. The session may be run by the meeting host or by a member. This is an opportunity for our members to showcase their expertise.

Why attend?

• BizChat is a great way to meet new people and get to know those you’ve already met better.
• It’s 45 minutes of working on your business and not just in
• It’s an opportunity to learn new things or remember lessons you had forgotten.
• It’s stimulating, fun and productive. Members have won business as a result of attending.
• It enables you to keep marketing your business even when you are busy (you can even eat your lunch with us if time is really tight.)

Why not give it a try?

Non-members can attend three sessions before deciding whether to join us.

Book your first session so we can send you the Zoom link, once you have it you can join any session when you are available (subject to the three visits as a non-member policy).
