Successful business networking in Preston, Lancashire

A notable moment at this week’s meeting as Martin Newton (centre) a financial advisor with City Investment passes the group’s 6,000th business referral to Maxine Wilde of Omega Vehicle Contracts, car leasing specialists; an introduction for four new vehicles. Watched by (from left) Martin Toole of Inspired Images, Mike Gelder of Redleg IT Support and Russ Treasure of Lambogenie.

This group of local businesses meet regularly to help each other out with introductions to new clients and opportunities – it is very successful business networking, achieved by applying word of mouth marketing. Have a look at the recent post about ‘Thank You For The Business’ to see just how successful.

Think I recall that the average value of a referral is something like £400, multiplying up means the group has introduced around £2.4 million of business – now that’s worth getting up early for.
