Managed 121 Meetings
After attending your first business networking meeting, you are able to request (or deny*) 121 meetings with any attendee at a future meeting - the bespoke CRM system will automatically pair you up with any of your requests wherever you both happen to be at the same meeting!
*You may want to deny a 121 if you know someone really well or have had 121s with them outside of the meetings or for any other reason - it is confidential.
The networking sessions are always very lively and enjoyable, and I have found many of the additional training sessions invaluable. By far the biggest benefit for me however, is the feeling of community. I really enjoy coming together with others in similar situations and having the opportunity to broaden my business network. Most importantly, no matter how much life gets in the way of me being able to attend meetings, I’ve always been warmly welcomed back into the fold and almost forgotten I was ever away!

From starting my own business just over 12 months ago, the support of this network group has been amazing. It is great value for money and there are free workshops to help you build your business. I would highly recommend The Business Community.

Since starting my business 18 months or so ago, I have gone from a networking novice to being a solid contributor through meeting and getting to know the wealth of business skills, knowledge and experience of Paul Green and the members of The Business Community. I mainly attend the Wellingborough session, but have plans to spread myself further afield in Northamptonshire during the rest of this year as membership allows this, unlike others.
The format of the meetings is fun, but has meaning ... and you can always be assured a friendly welcome (as I got recently when attending the Daventry session for the first time). I have made loads of good business contacts that I would have only made through The Business Community ... if you are starting or have recently started a business, book yourself on a session and find out for yourself ... breakfast is good too!
