Organisations & Links
There are countless groups for countless outcomes, so ensure you have mastered your personalised networking strategy and choose to either join or attend the functions that are in line with your strategy. However - and this is critical, as Ivan Misner, Founder of BNI was quoted, no matter what groups you end up participating in--remember that it's not called "net-sit" or "net-eat," it's called "net-work," and if you want to build your business through word-of-mouth, you must "work" the networking groups you belong to.
Here are a few of BConsulted’s recommendations (please mention us when you enquire about membership or attendance)
If you run a Networking Organisation and want to be listed on our website and referred to our clients please complete and submit the attached form.
