Clubs, Arrows and Wellies thrown wild!

A great night was had by all who came along to the SWIBN event on Tuesday 31st. Some of the comments recevied include:

Do it again!
Great fun, good social aspect;
Get more people to come along -they missed a great evening;
Excellent evening, relaxed atmosphere;

New skills can be learned easily and with practise you can be successful;
It was good to move out of my comfort zone and try something new - transfer this to everyday work;
Relaxing atmosphere, try and organise something similar to work;

Good to have a special event with an activity - neworking happened informally;

 

Stop all that monkeying around!

Guerilla marketing is not just for the big boys. In this session we will have the
opportunity to look at what guerrilla marketing is and how you could apply it to
your business.
This month's SWIBN event is a creative interactive workshop led by Teresa O'Loughlin of Think6 Marketing which will provide participants with some new and refreshing ideas on how to market their business. So join us on June 26th at 7:30pm in the Yeats Suite of the Glasshouse Hotel Sligo for what will be a creative, inspirational and beneficial evening!

Our challenge had been to get 50 people in a room for 90 minutes. We beat that! We are delighted to tell you that last nights event with 61 people (thanks too to BNI Yeats Chapter) demonstrates the level of enthusiasm in Sligo for getting out there to meet people, as a great way to build your business.

Thanks to you all for taking the time to make new connections. Remember it's the follow up that will create the real value from all that noisy work.

Thanks to Ruth Daly of Sort It for her commanding facilitation and timely use of a whistle...

Old Fashioned Networking Sept 27th, with Ruth Daly of Sort it

Why come and network with us? Social media marketing has been a 'game changer' for networking. Suddenly we can network instantly, delightfully and globally, in the comfort of our homes. Networking face to face can seem hard work by comparison. But the question is, can you afford to discount it? Who can underestimate the impact of a warm handshake, a genuine smile, a good listening ear? This is how we start real relationships and being honest, this is how we chose who we want to do business with. Yes, the internet has propelled us forward but at SWIBN, it doesn't replace good old fashioned networking. The SWIBN Challenge: 50 people in one room for 90 mins This is an open invitation: We're inviting anyone who's got/or planning to set up a business in the region. How widely can you cast your net? If you talk to just 10 people (you might know them but you'll have something new to communicate/remind them about) and they share your information with 3 people they know, that's potentially 30 contacts you can follow up right away. Not bad for the cost, which is just 2 hours of your time. This is a FREE event, thanks to the County Enterprise Board. What you need to do: Just come and enjoy yourself. Ruth Daly of Sort it will be running the session, so you're in professional hands. Bring a business card and ideally a friend or colleague (that's your networking already started) Oh, and if you have a premises, we'd love you to put out our flyer and feel free to enthuse others.
