I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE OF TRYING
DIFFERENT WAYS TO GAIN A WIDER CUSTOMER BASE.
AS AN AUTO SPARKS,IT NOT UNUSUAL TO NOT SEE A RETAIL CUSTOMER FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT,WITH THE MAIN PROBLEM BEING THAT POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS
HAVE NO IDEA WE EXIST OR WHAT WE DO.
SO,GOT A WEB SITE(BRIGHTONAUTOELECTRICAL.COM)WHICH HELPED,NOT FLOODING IN BUT MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
EARLY THIS YEAR MY BUSINESS STATIONARY MAN INVITED ME TO A NETWORKING BREAKFAST WITH MY LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
I HAD A BRIEF SHALL I OR NOT AND THOUGHT "NO I WILL TRY IT" AND I HAVE TO SAY I THINK THIS SORT OF MEETING IS SOMETHING TO BE INCLUDED IN OUR WORKING WEEK.
DON`T GIVE ME I HAVEN`T GOT TIME COBBLERS!
OUR WORLD IS MORE COMPETITIVE THAN EVER AND ALL ANGLES NEED LOOKING AT.
SAME AS THE WEB SITE,NOT FLOODS OF WORK BUT IT IS WORKING.
THE PEOPLE I HAVE MET AT THESE MEETINGS ARE FROM ACROSS THE WHOLE OF OUR SOCIAL SPECTRUM AND THEY ALL HAVE CARS!
I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED NETWORKING FOR PEOPLE IN HIGHER CIRCLES THAN OURS,NOT SO IT APPEARS.
THE WEB SITE MAY BE BETTER FOR AUTO ELECTRICIANS AS WE ARE FEWER BUT THERE IS A LOT MORE WORK FOR TECHS ON THE MECHANICAL SIDE.SO THE NETWORKING ASPECT MAY BE BETTER FOR MECHANICAL TECHS?
THE COST OF MY CHAMBER IS £35 A YEAR AND £5 FOR BREAKFAST.
SEVERAL PEOPLE I HAVE SPOKEN TO, SAY THAT NETWORKING HAS BECOME THE HUB OF THERE BUSINESS AFTER SOMEWHERE 6 TO 18 MONTHS.
SOME NETWORKING PEOPLE ARE READING THIS NOW!
PS.ORIM WEB PEOPLE GOOD PRICES.
