Jane Burridge

Would you like to network with local business women?

At this month’s event, there will be a structured environment where members and guests can talk to women they perhaps wouldn’t otherwise meet.

Jane Burridge, an experienced business networker who runs Woking-based Personal Equilibrium, (www.personal-equilibrium.co.uk) a lifestyle management and concierge company and is one of the few professional Lady Toastmasters in the UK (www.TheLadyToastmaster.co.uk) says:

“Speed networking works particularly well for those who are less confident introducing themselves in the usual ways. Not everyone we meet will be directly relevant to our business or professional interests, but the theory of “six degrees of separation” says they will probably know someone who is!”

Jane advises some preparation to make the event more useful:

• Make sure you bring lots of business cards and literature

• If your business lends itself to something unusual or novel to hand out, then you will be more easily remembered

• Think about what you are going to say to each contact about the product or service you offer – ideally from your “buyer’s benefit” point of view

• Think about what you are looking for – new clients, partners, specific contacts – so you can ask each contact to help you find it

Location: Best Western Ship Hotel, Monument Green, Weybridge, KT13 8BQ
