BBN

Is real networking about building contacts, or about building trust?
Before you start focusing, and worrying about what YOU are getting from your networking group, maybe it's time to flip the thinking a little.
See our 'insight' https://lnkd.in/euCgQCFV
It might just get you thinking about how you can be better and become a more valuable member of your group, after all, it's not all about you, is it?

BBN - BB Networking - Where business people enjoy doing business.

What does BBN mean to our members?
Here are the thoughts of 2 of them.

'Having been a previous member of other networking groups that had not fulfilled my needs, I was initially cautious about investing my time into another group. However, the first time I visited BBN I knew I’d found my forever group. A great relaxed meeting, a real good mix of businesses attend in good numbers and a lovely breakfast with plenty of coffee. As a new business, BBN was an integral part of our early success and growth and I can’t recommend Brian and BBN enough.
If any business is looking to grow in Kent, this really is the place to be.'

Dan Francis – Level Up Leads

'I have been part of BBN for many years now and can honestly say that it's so much more than a networking group - it's a family!
The level of support, both business and personal - is like nothing I have experienced in any other networking group.
Well worth setting a 5am alarm for!!'

Joanne Freeman – FITS (Freeman Individual Training Solutions)

Isn't it good to provide a service that's valued? We have that warm feeling when we are appreciated don't we?

What really matters is what our clients think, in this case, our members.

Thank you Lindsey Forrow and Dave Skinner for your thoughts.

'I have been a part of BBN networking since its inception and during that time watched the network grow in membership and in the leads and referrals it generates for my business. I estimate that over 50% of new leads for my business now comes either from direct members or leads that have been referred from group members. The meetings are professional but informal, the breakfast great, and its members are friendly, supportive and collaborative. It’s brilliant to be able to have a network of people to call upon for advice, and to be able to refer my clients to without worrying that they won’t be looked after well'.
Lindsey Forrow - DMD Solicitors

'My company has been trading a little over three years and I have been a member of BBN since the beginning. I can honestly say that the support and encouragement from the members was there from the start. Thanks to the amazing range of business owners who have supported me allowing my business to grow year on year. I have visited other network meetings during the past three years but in my opinion, nothing comes close to BBN. There are meetings in Medway, Maidstone and Dartford, I would highly recommend giving one a visit'.

Well done to Bradley Thornburrow from The Happiness Box. He is a new business, born really out of Covid lockdown and now growing into something quite special. He's a new member at BBN - BB Networking group, so to deliver his 1st presentation to a large room, so well, was impressive.
It's a great idea with so many different uses for a wide variety of clients and customers. Check him out why don't you, and yes, there was chocolate involved, presented nicely with one of his poems on the lid - great job buddy, you'll go far, top move bringing me chocolate! It really was happiness in a box.
