NRG Network
NRG Business Networks started three years ago helps business owners and business professionals do more business through developing networks of trusted relationships. They do this through monthly networking lunches.
Who benefits most from the NRG approach? If you are in a services business and can relate to one or more of the following scenarios:
- You are new in business and don’t have much marketing experience.
- You have been to a number of networking events but with little success.
- You find it really hard to ‘put yourself about’ to good effect.
- You have a successful business and you want to take it to the next stage.
- You recognise that developing relationships first is key to doing business when networking.
NRG has a simple yet structured approach based on the principle ‘quality relationships make for quality referrals’. NRG offers networking lunches in London, the Thames Valley, the Southwest and the West Midlands.
