Networking is a proven and powerful way to find new business. Research shows that more people buy from people they know than advertisements, flyers or direct mail so networking for business is here to stay.
The key to doing more business is knowing and trusting the people you'll be working with or recommending, ING makes this the priority for its members rather than making a profit from them. The group concentrates on building relationships and making sure we understand each others business and the type of referrals that are most useful. We don't insist that you bring a referral every week because that can lead to disappointment and wasted effort. Instead, the leads passed are strong, valid and qualified saving you time and making you money
At ING, however we don't believe that you have to invest huge amounts of money to be committed to finding new business for other like-minded professionals so we operate a pay-as-you-go system; pay when you attend. There are no other fees. No joining fees, no subscription fees and no membership fees - just referrals.
There are two types of meeting, openING which is monthly and is open to all and ING weekly which is the core membership and accepts one company from each industry type. Guests are welcome to the weekly group when invited by a member but everyone can come along to the monthly meeting. Try it out and see why it works.
