Breakfast Date
Business Speed Dating.
Wednesday 25 June
2008
A Two minutes to talk about your business:
• what can I say
• what if I can’t think of enough information
• will it look as if my business is not
exciting/prosperous/efficient
• what will everyone think
• can I do this – I don’t do public speaking
Many of the attendees at the first meeting of the Ford Network
Speed Dating for Business would have had one or several of the
above thoughts running through their head prior to the function,
and yes, for everyone the first two minutes did seem to take a long
time to pass, but not the second set nor the third set. In fact
four minutes would have been too short as everyone found more and
more to say about their business, and allowed their enthusiasm to
emerge.
There was time at the end of the formal part of the morning for
people to make contact with those they hadn’t managed to ‘present’
to, many business cards were exchanged, and we all came away much
better informed about many businesses in Invercargill.
Well done to those who attended and made the first event such a
great success. Several businesses have already booked in for the
next two Speed Dating functions, 5.30pm on August 19th, and the
final one for the year on 14th October @ 7am.
Don’t miss out on attending either of these events because you feel
they may not be pertinent for you. You may not be looking for more
clients, but you don’t know who you may meet who provides a service
your business could use. This is a very easy and painless way of
networking.
As numbers are limited, phone the Chamber now to ensure you get a
place.
