Hull Business Networking

We are  a network of local business people in the Hull and East Yorkshire area, who work together as a marketing co-operative.

This means that we actively help each other with new leads, business opportunities, business support and mentoring.

We are always keen to hear from like minded business people – individuals who would like to enjoy the benefits of serious networking, without the annual fees charge by other networking groups. Click here to arrange an informal visit to one of our meetings

This Hull  business networking group exists  solely for the benefit of it’s members and local good causes – we are not managed by any outside agency, nor do we have any affiliation with any other group or business networking organisation. This is Hull business networking  – with a difference!

Good business networking is the process of establishing a mutually beneficial relationship with other business people and potential clients and/or customers.

The key to true networking is the establishment of a mutally beneficial relationship, and that’s actually an incredibly rare event at the standard shake-hands-and-exchange-your-business-card events that are touted elsewhere as, business networking “opportunities”.

We believe the purpose of business activity is to increase revenue – one way or another. The increase to the bottom line can be immediately apparent, as in developing a relationship with a new client, or could develop over time, as in learning a new business skill.

The best business networking groups operate as exchanges of business information, ideas, and support. The most important skill for effective business networking is listening;

Focusing on how you can help the person you are listening to -  rather than on how he or she can help you, is the first step to establishing a mutally beneficial relationship.
