B4B Speed Networking

Last night was one of B4B's infamous Speed Networking events at the Holiday Inn, Belfast. For a mere £20 (£10 if you're a member of B4B) you get a buffet dinner to sustain you through the next two and a half hours of intense fast-sell of your business. Boy do you need it, along with the bottled water at the tables and a cup of tea half way through.

Ninety seconds is all you get to promote your business to the person sitting opposite you, then it's their turn. After that you get sixty seconds to arrange to meet again if you feel it worthwhile. Then it's on to the next person after a quick shuffle up the table.

It's tiring, but well worth it. I met some interesting people, from Hairdressers to Hotel Managers, from Pest Control to Debt Control. It's a great way to meet people who are all trying to further their business. I'll be at the next one . . . will you?
