building better business relationships - naturally

IN8 Networking believes in making the most of what we all are to get additional business through Word of Mouth Marketing, business referrals, personal recommendation and networking. The aim is to help you achieve this by providing an environment and structure that will:

• Mix the best of face to face networking with online connections
• Encourage the giving and receiving of business referrals at any time
• Develop the individual members so that they can make the most of each opportunity
• Increase not only the quantity of business prospects, but also the quality
• Provide motivation and encouragement to all members
• Give a platform for mutual coaching and development
• Provide first class business training from coaches outside the organisation as well as inside
• Give a real measure of value by analysing what is really important, not counting pieces of paper

Putting the 'Personal' Into Personal Business Development

Each of us has the potential to be at the very top of our business, trade or profession. Each of us has a different set of personality strengths and characteristics that we can use to our advantage in achieving this.

building better business relationships - structure

To reinforce the links between business face to face and on the Internet, IN8 Networking areas are strongly linked to the local Village Websmith franchise. It makes sound business sense to combine the two biggest sources of customers available in this way. The franchisee will be there to:

• Support chapter leadership teams through regular attendance
• Organise training and development events within their area
• Promote membership through assisting with visitor events
• Circulate information on chapter performance
• Manage the IN8 Networking web presence for local chapters
• Help chapter members get the best out of their entry in the IN8 Networking web presence

Chapter structure

To a great degree, chapters will be autonomous, deciding on issues of meeting time and place, membership admissions and local promotions. The management team of volunteers will be changed regularly to keep the fresh approach going and will comprise the following people:

• Chapter Chair
• Membership and Growth Manager
• Treasurer
• Publicity and Press Officer
• Social Secretary

building better business relationships - agenda

In order to promote the passing of new business between members, the structured agenda is created to give each the best possible understanding of all members' businesses and USPs.

The meeting should last no longer than 90 minutes and send people off to the next phase of their working day with a spring in their step and a smile on their face, ready to do business for themselves and their fellow members.
