Happy New Year to all our customers

Just a quick post to wish our blog readers and customers a happy new year. May 2009 be better for you than its forecast!

I hope you had a good Christmas but if it was not what you were expecting, what are you going to do about it?

This year we are working with Business Scene to promote business networking events in the Essex region. Having a network of contacts for advice and referrals is a good way of getting new business. Some people choose the formal route and BNI is very popular, but there are lots of good local groups springing up all over the place

We are working with Business Scene as it’s a great platform for starting and building online relationships. Online relationships are only good for so much, the real power is the offline meetings. Our first offline meeting of 2009 is January 29th in Brentwood, just minutes away from the M25, A12, and A127 (you see being a courier company means we know to find an easily accessible location )

If you would like to join us, you are most welcome to  – Link to registration here.

If you want (and I do advise you take advantage of the facilities) you can add company details and upload a photo, making it easier for people to identify you at the events. Customers are 7 times more likely to buy from a recommendation than without one, so can you afford not to network?

So… what are you doing for your business and customers in 2009?
