That is exactly what Venture Catalyst offers you.
Networking is THE MOST cost effective form of Sales and Marketing available to any business
Venture Catalyst is THE MOST cost effective networking opportunity available in Croydon
Active networking turns Word of Mouth Marketing into a proactive and planned process rather than something that is ad hoc and left to chance.
Word of Mouth Marketing the winning way for 3 reasons:
- It costs little in cash – your main investment is time
- It’s influential (recommendations come from a trusted source)
- It’s timely (recommendations coincide with a buyer having an identified need)
Until now, formalised networking groups in the UK have been copied from the USA, with an American approach – most notably in the choice of VERY early morning breakfast meetings.
Venture Catalyst is different:Venture Catalyst has been set up to offer a networking and referral option to businesses that we believe is better than the alternatives
- We DO keep a clear structure, and an emphasis on mutual business development
- We DO make business education a high value, core part of what is delivered to members
- We DO look for members to make good and regular contributions to the group,
but
- We DON’T demand or require attendance at every meeting – we recognise that business managers with multiple business and family priorities need to make their own judgements about where they should be
- We DON’T ask you to pay for a fried breakfast you may not want
We meet briefly in the early evening, thereby adding flexibility and conviviality – and taking out cost
The Venture Catalyst Mission:
"To be the UK’s first choice business referral forum, setting radically new standards of service delivery, value for money and revenue generation for business owners and managers throughout Britain."
