Do Networking Events Really Need to be so Boring?
This was the thought going through the head of business growth and marketing expert Patrick Powers after being to yet another disappointing networking event. He decided to do some research on what entrepreneurs want from networking and based on his findings he has now launched his own event called: Entrepreneurs Night Out.
London, United Kingdom, August 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Networking is a growing phenomenon in Britain and is almost becoming a mainstream marketing strategy, but for one London based entrepreneur it mostly felt like a waste of time.
Patrick Powers from http://www.entrepreneursnightout.com said : “I thought I could not possibly be the only person feeling this way and I started to ask fellow entrepreneurs about their experience. Most of them agreed that they didn’t get much or any business from networking and also that the events were really boring”.
“That made me even more interested in finding out what really does work and I found that many of the most valuable connections and business deals are not created at the normal formal networking events, but instead in relaxed environments or even at social gatherings. That’s why I got the idea to create an evening event for entrepreneurs that was a combination of fun, brainstorming and business.”
“Our members love our events and membership is growing almost every day. Many of them tell me they have never had as much fun at a networking event before and as a result of that is creating more and better connections.”
