Networking! It’s a buzzword in the business world, but how often do we stop and evaluate its true cost and the value it brings? And in this blog, I am talking about actual costs.
๐ Understanding Costs at TOP Networking In the vast ocean of networking, at TOP Networking, clarity is our mantra. When you dive in as a TOP Visitor or delve deeper as a TOP Member, we ensure transparency in costs.
๐ณ For our visitors:
- Visit us a couple of times and you’ll only be looking at an attendance fee that includes a sumptuous breakfast. The current rate? Between a wallet-friendly ยฃ10 to ยฃ14 (VAT inclusive).
- A significant point to note: Our visitors are guests! No high-pressure sales, no immediate applications. Only express interest if you wish to explore deeper. We’re all about letting proactive, content individuals CHOOSE to join.
๐ For our first-year members:
- Two simple payments that total to ยฃ552 (VAT inclusive). By the second year? It drops to a pleasant ยฃ438.
- For those who need it, we even offer an option to spread this over a 3-month period.
- A quick math: Attending 25 breakfasts every fortnight at ONLY between ยฃ10 to ยฃ14 depending on venue (VAT inclusive) plus the membership fee, you’re looking at a combined ยฃ852 annually (VAT inclusive).
๐ก Putting Things in Perspective
To many, ยฃ852 might seem like a steep price. But when you compare it with other networking platforms, where the combined costs of joining and annual breakfast fees can go beyond ยฃ1,800, suddenly, TOP Networking starts looking like a great value proposition!
Yes the majority of business networking outside of TOP is done in networking communities where the headline membership for a new member is ยฃ299+vat one-off and ยฃ799+vat annual membership making just joining ยฃ1317.60 and they have annual breakfast fees of between ยฃ1,200 and ยฃ1,500 in addition (compared to TOPโs ยฃ300!! For year). These events are often in the same venues, with the same breakfast preparation and often smaller gatherings of people too because larger costs mean fewer people join. TOP can still achieve market-leading services at a fraction of the cost. And yes the business plan is sustainable because it is efficient.
The closest-priced exclusive network that offers value is just over ยฃ239 a year more expensive than TOP. The reason for this is TOP has much less overhead and believes that efficiency in an SME network is crucial.
๐ค More Money โ Better Results
Paying a higher price doesn’t always guarantee superior results. While some networks may lure you with fancier setups, tablecloths, and shiny medals, always remember the true essence of networking: establishing genuine, lasting connections, and expanding your business horizons. This is achieved through real quality mechanisms that really open up dialogue, focus on business opportunities and engage GOOD business leaders to be active.
๐ฏ Set YOUR Targets!
As a savvy businessperson, dive deeper. Don’t let others set benchmarks for you. You know your business inside out and the connections you seek. Aim for lasting relationships that amplify your voice even in your absence.
๐ฅ Harness the Power of Networking Skills
These aren’t just innate talents; they’re skills that can be cultivated. With the right commitment and mindset, you can be more than just an industry worker; you can be a community leader! That’s the essence that TOP Networking thrives on.
