Did you know that networking currently accounts for 87% of business in the marketplace? People want to deal with people they know, like and trust. It’s not what you know but who you know. Networking is a great way to:
-
meet potential customers and clients – lets face it we are all consumers
-
build business alliances with other business so that they can refer to you
-
check out what your competitors are doing
- learn new skills and tips from the high profile business speakers
There are lots of different business networking events that you can attend – large or small groups, morning, lunch time and evening events. To find out what networking is all about and what groups you can attend, contact Virginia in the Wollongong office on (02) 4223 3100 or virginia@illawarraitec.com.au, or contact Lynnette Kearney in the Shoalhaven on (02) 4423 3417 or lynnette@illawarraitec.com.au.

Today’s consumers are different! They are social, they are informed, and before they make a decision to spend their money they require proof that your product or service is good value, solves their problem and will impress their friends. We're in the information age and you have to keep up to be successful in business.
This workshop will demonstrate to you how social media can expose your business to more potential clients than any other form of marketing today. You will learn how and why social media is so powerful and see examples of businesses who are doing it well. After this 3 hour session you will know how to reach more people, create buzz about your products and services, and build a loyal following of brand advocates who will be actively attracting clients to you.
This workshop is in plain English. You don't need to be a computer whiz or technically advanced. We'll break it down so that you are ready to launch into the social sphere.
Bookings are essential for catering purposes. To register and make a payment, go to www.trybooking.com.au/22952 and enter your details.
