My Experience on Business Meetings

Hello, after a long time got some time to spend on my Blog, Today I want to share my views on Professional Networks and how efficiently it will help full for business professionals and how it is important for each individual having a network. 

In the last 30 days,
I attended few meetings which are completely professional business meets like BNI, OCC and some other. It makes me to understand how a network works and helpful in business process or sustaining in the competitive growth, It is very difficult to get help or to run a business in recession but how come few SME’s are really doing well even the market faces a severe recession? One of the reasons is having a business network. How?

Maintaining contacts in business networks always gives you more experience and guidance from different professionals who are already faced the facts and situations. A wise man always says, learn from your mistakes but if u learn from others mistakes also then you will be in top among your competitors.

BNI is one of the largest professional networks across the world; my first meeting gives me a great experience in understanding exactly how a referral networking works. But to attend in these BNI meetings u should have atleast 150 contacts who are in different professions, It's not compulsory that you should have these many contacts but if u have some contacts then you can interact with more members by passing referrals from your contacts, it’s all about passing referrals to the people who wants referral from particular industry or kind of service looking.  (You will understand better, once if u attends the meeting) if you ask me I’ll say once you should attend this BNI meeting, so that you can see live, how the referrals worth of lakhs passes each other in just one and half an hour meeting. If you really want to see a growth in your business I would suggest you to invest in BNI. 

OCC open coffee club- Place where you can seek help or offer help as well as to increase your professional network, I attended first OCC meet recently gives me a very good experience in understanding the Entrepreneurs success and failure stories. Meet with different business professionals, Young Entrepreneurs and software people who are ready with their business plans and execution processes. I am very happy to attend these kind of meetings which are really helping me to understand what are different professions and pros and cons in starting a business. I would suggest you all to attend any business meets and get experience in building a professional network. 

Thank you.
