Hi, Dave Grooms here from Speed Networking Events.

Just a quick email to let you know that the places for our next Eastbourne event on 2nd April are filling up quickly. If you would like to book your place, please hop over to our web site www.speednetworkingevents.co.uk asap.

The last meeting in Eastbourne sold out weeks before the event (67 people booked) and I had to turn away 17 people who wanted to attend!

I have also heard from a number of you that one of the attendees of the last Eastbourne meeting has set-up his own Speed Networking event (In fact a few of you have booked onto this event thinking it was mine as he is holding the event at the Yacht Club just like I did). Now those of you that know me well understand that I am not scared of a bit of competition. In fact I feel a little proud that we have a format that people would like to copy. I have however decided to move away from the Yacht club as we had a problem with the closeness of the tables, the noise level and the sun getting in everyone’s eyes. We have a great new venue for the next meeting, which I will tell you about as soon as the paper work has been processed.

Speed Networking Events has been operating in Sussex for a few years now, originally under the control of Paul Turner and recently via myself, Dave Grooms. We always fill our events! If you are going to take an afternoon away from your business make sure you attend our events that guarantees to bring in lots of businesses.

To book your place, or for lots more information please visit www.speednetworkingevents.co.uk or call me on 0845 020 4368.

Shortly after the Eastbourne event we will be holding Speed Networking in:

  

I look forward to meeting you.

Kind regards,

Dave Grooms

Brighton event a sell out

February 28th, 2008

Hi

 

Things are moving pretty fast with the Speed Networking Events. Yesterday we held our second event of the year in Brighton. It was another complete sell out with 60 businesses attending.

 

It’s great to hear all the success stories and the positive feedback that we are getting from this form of networking.

 

We have just loaded a number of video testimonials onto the web site if you would like to see what people are saying about us. Over the next few days we will also be publishing video from the Brighton event.

 

Our next event is in Gatwick next week (Tuesday 4th March). If you would like to join us, please ensure that you book quickly as there are only 8 places left. Visit www.speednetworkingevents.co.uk for more details.

 

This will be followed by Croydon on 19th March.

 

We intend to visit each town every two months and will be adding: Chichester, Ashford, Tunbridge Wells, Hastings and Maidstone over the next few months.

 

I look forward to meeting you at a future Speed Networking Event.

 

To your success.

 

Dave Grooms

On Wednesday, at Eastbourne’s Sovereign Harbour Yacht Club, our hopes and expectations for a successful first speed networking event of 2008 were well and truly surpassed.

Speaker Confirmed For 13th Feb in Eastbourne

February 9th, 2008

  Speaker confirmed for 13th February Speed Networking Event in Eastbourne. I am pleased to announce the speaker for the next Speed Networking event in Eastbourne on 13th February 2008.

There are a few people in my professional life that have had a big effect on my success. Our next speaker is somebody that enabled me to gain the confidence to speak in public and to hold large seminars.I used to avoid public speaking and networking events, as I felt uncomfortable, stressed and scared in that environment. Fortunately, I was good at my job and referrals were my main source of new business. However, I knew that life would be so much easier if I could conquer my fears.

Meg Heyworth took me under her wing and taught me to enjoy speaking, giving presentations and made my work so much more enjoyable. Now, you may not want to stand in-front of a crowd of 50 plus people and give a speech like I did, but the skills Meg teaches filter down into every day business life. We all need to give presentations, communicate effectively, make an impression, explain what our business does and gain new clients.

I am pleased to announce that Meg will be giving a 20 minute speech: “How to get the most from 90 seconds of non stop listening” Meg Heyworth, a well known advocate for good communication, will open our eyes to how to listen more carefully to what we hear, see & assume. She will entertain us with her insights into the brain we never remember we have. You will leave with the knowledge of how to use it to get you remembered by your fellow speed networkers along with how to pick up on those people who will be great to enhance your business.

Visit Meg’s website http://www.speak-with-confidence.co.uk/

The next Eastbourne Speed Networking event is on 13th February 2008. The events starts @ 1.30pm and finishes @ 5pm. In addition to learning new skills from Meg, you’ll meet around 40/50 new business contacts. 

Our events enable business owners/managers/directors to talk face to face in a series of 3-minute mini-meetings. Visit our website http://www.speendnetworkingevents.co.uk/ for more information and to book your place.If you are a member of:

Speed Networking Events Are Back

February 9th, 2008

I am pleased to inform you that the highly successful Speed Networking Events are back up and running. As you may be aware, Paul Turner, who started these events, is very busy with other projects and had stopped running them.

Well, after all the good work Paul put in to launching the events and the great leads that I gained from the events, I did not want them to stop. I asked Paul if he would mind if I got them going again. To my delight (and hopefully yours) he agreed.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Dave Grooms, many of you would have met me at the Speed Networking Events in Eastbourne, Brighton and Crawley. I was the speaker at the Gatwick event last year.

We are going to kick off with a Speed Networking Event in Eastbourne on Wednesday 13th February at the Sovereign Harbour Yacth Club. There is plenty of free parking outside.

You will meet around 40/50 new business contacts at an afternoon of Speed Networking. Our events enable business owners/managers/directors to talk face to face in a series of 3 minute mini-meetings.

I currently have vacancies for speakers and sponsors for the events. Please see the website for more information.

To book your place, please visit www.speednetworkingevents.co.uk or call me on 0845 020 4368.

Shortly after the Eastbourne event we will be holding Speed Networking in:

                  Brighton   27th Feb 2008
                  Gatwick   4th March 2008
                  Croydon  19th March 2008

I look forward to meeting you.

Kind regards,

Dave Grooms
