\u201cHirsch\u2019s Meadowdale\u2019s networking functions open doors to getting expert advice at no charge and assist like-minded business people in building their reputations, knowledge and databases.\u201d<\/p>\n
These are the words of Hirsch\u2019s public relations and marketing officer for the East Rand, Brigitte Thysse.<\/p>
Thysse firmly believes that sometimes it is not what you know, it\u2019s who you know.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want a successful business, you need to build relevant connections and build onto your current ones,\u201d explained Thysse.<\/p>
Hirsch\u2019s Meadowdale\u2019s monthly networking events take place on the last Thursday of every month and are open to anyone wanting to grow their business.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone interested is encouraged to bring banners, business cards and pamphlets\/catalogues to hand out and assist in effective networking.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach individual gets a \u201c60 second pitch\u201d to address the attendees on who they are, what they do and what they can offer each attendee.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an ice-breaker for effective networking after the proceedings.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo succeed, you must continually connect with new people, cultivate emerging relationships and leverage your network.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want something, you have to go out there and get it \u2013 and we, at Hirsch\u2019s Meadowdale, offer business people just that,\u201d said Thysse.<\/p>\n
The next networking function will take place on March 26, from 9am to 11am, at Hirsch\u2019s Meadowdale, 12 Herman Road, Meadowdale.<\/p>\n
