Our charity for the evening is Norwich Door to Door. It was set up in 1992 to encourage social inclusion and enhance the well being and life experience of severely disabled children, adults and older people with severe mobility problems. Their services are for people who are on a low income, who need extra help and a friendly hand to be able to get out and about independently. For passengers and their carers transport is the key to freedom and autonomy and there is the added assurance of the safety and security of a door to door service.

More about the event

This event will show you how to use the different, more effective method of joined up networking to achieve the business and career success you really deserve.

Heather Townsend will share her methods and secrets which have, within two years, propelled her from being a newly redundant learning and development professional to a successful business owner, leading business thinker and current best-selling author on business networking.

You will receive practical guidance to help you network efficiently, using both face to face and online networking methods, to maximise your productive time, and boost your lead generation. 

Heather will share stories and real life examples of how her networks have helped her achieve success over the last few years, demonstrating:

  • How to use networking to guarantee business success – without it feeling like a form of professional torture.
  • How to network effectively when you really don’t have the time.
  • The four ingredients you need to make sure your network consistently delivers results.
  • Why today’s savvy networkers know that it is not about your ability to work a room.
  • How to survive the 'meet and greet sweatshop experience', particularly when you’ve been surrounded by suppliers eager to push their wares at you!
  • Why one cup of coffee is never enough.
  • Why most networkers fall into the trap of going bear hunting and what you should be doing instead.
  • Why you don’t need to go out to network.
  • How to use your network to sell and attract the right kind of clients, so you don't have to go out to 'sell'.

In addition, a selection of networking organisations will have stands at the event and can tell you more about what their networking group has to offer. If you run a networking group and would like a stand please contact the event organisers.
