High Speed Networking For Professionals: Introducing the 2/2/2 Principle

Join members of The Sydney Business Networking Group for our Speed Networking Event...Maximize Your Time for Maximum Results.

Networking events can be a nightmare for some people, and at least uncomfortable for many. And even if you yourself feel confident and in your element, the fact that many other people may be feeling awkward and ill at ease, will reduce your own effectiveness. Either way, this event is for you!

During this evening, we will introduce everyone to a powerful principle that has the potential to transform the way you network, and at the same time could turn our group into one of the most easy-going yet impactful networking groups in existence. Then ... you will get the chance to put it into practice during a speed networking session!

WHEN: May 12, 2010 at 6:00 PM
WHERE: The Castlereagh Boutique Hotel, 169 Castlereagh St, Sydney, 2000
COST: $35.00 Prepaid or $45 at the door. Food Provided. Cash Bar Drinks

Speed Networking is similar to the concept of speed dating, except it's for making business connections. It's like a regular networking event at an accelerated speed. It involves matching attendees 1-on-1 with many new contacts in a short time. It's a fun, effective, low pressure way to add contacts to your business network.

Conversation takes on a natural flow because the format of the event acts as an ice breaker to help everyone feel relaxed while they network. This type of networking format also allows you to practice keeping your pitch short and sweet. Compared to a regular networking event, you'll meet more people and make more contacts quickly, to maximize your time for maximum results. You can't develop real relationships in a few minutes, however it's a great place to start - and the success of all business networking is in the follow-up. Please bring lots of business cards.

6:00 - 6:30 PM: Registration, Informal Networking, Refreshments
6:30 – 6:45 PM: Discuss the 2/2/2 Principle & How It Works
