Networking and Mastermind Session

Timber Yard

A new approach to networking

Hey guys Our new group is live!

The Interesting Business Club launches on 27th June at an incredible new venue on Old Street called "Timberyard". This venue has been set up for freelancers and the self employed to work from. It is an great creative space where you can work from. It has iPads, a range of amazing teas and coffees, serves great food and also has an alcohol license!

I have spent a lot of time researching networking events and I have put together a new event that will hopefully make attending a highly productive use of your time. When researching networking events I found that people had several issues and complaint that included; people trying to sell them stuff all the time, not meeting the right people, not getting the help they were looking for, being stuck with people they didn't want to speak with, being poorly organised and generally a waste of time.

I have put together a new structure that has addressed these issues.

The Mastermind and Networking System

6:00 - Event starts

6:00 - 6:30 Open Networking

6:30 - 7:30 Structured Mastermind session

7:30 - 8:30 Open Networking

After 8:30 we will probably head to a bar over the road to carry on the fun

So what is the Mastermind Session?

It works like this, at 6:30 everyone will sit at a table (it will be random, no silly name tags) and you will be groups of 4.

When the whistle goes, one person from the table will give a 5 minute oversight of their business to the other 3 people on the table. This person will also tell the others what current problems and challenges they face, or something they want to achieve.

Then for 10 minutes, the other 3 people will give their help, advice and possible resources to this person. I can not explain just how powerful masterminding is in helping to resolve issues and achieve business goals.

It is then the turn of the next person and this process is repeated will all the people sat at the table. I will be hosting the event and I will make sure that everyone sticks to the times and that every single people who attends leaves with some fantastic new ideas, resources and connections.

After the Mastermind Session we will have more open networking where you can speak to other members and make even more connections. This will be low pressured and not sales based. This is an opportunity to meet and connect, not to just generate leads. People who are found to be using the group to just generate leads and sales will be removed from the group.

As an extra bonus, I will allow each member to make an offer to the rest of the group. I will then send this out as a group email after the event.

If you have never been networking before then I assure you this is a great place to start. It doesn't matter on your business type or experience, all are welcome.

I look forward to seeing you there Matt Kendall

5 reasons why you should join Interesting Talks;

1. Meet amazing new people with a passion for learning

2. Get to hear some of the best speakers from around the world in an intimate setting

3. Learn about a range of subjects

4. All events are expertly organised

5. It is AMAZING value for money

Interesting Talks London was set up in 2011 by Matt Kendall.

At each event we have an invited speaker to come and talk about a topic their choice. The topics include hypnosis, NLP, business, persuasion, negotiation skills, self development and even magic.

The events are always in Central London and after the talk there is chance to chat and network with all the attendees in a pub. If you are interested in business and psychology and also enjoy meeting like minded people, then this group is for you.

Please take some time to look through the past events and also the group reviews.

All the events tend to sell out, so join today and book up.

Here are some reasons why you might not attend;

1) You don't want to come on your own.

Over 90% of the people who attend Interesting Talks come on their own and are looking to meet new people. This is as much a place to meet people as it is to hear great talks.

I will ensure that from as soon as you arrive you will feel welcome. I set people topics to actually talk about before the speaker comes on too. Let me break the awkward silence for you!

2) You don't want the hard sell for products and/or services.

I hate hard sell events. If an event is free, it will probably end up costing you something!

At Interesting Talks, the majority of the speakers have a book, product or service of some kind in relation to the subject they are speaking about. At the end of their talk they may give you a bit of information about whatever this is, however this is no hard sell of any kind.

So don't worry, if you don't want to further your relationship with the speakers, there is no pressure to do so.

3) You are a single girl and not sure if you should come on your own.

I have worked hard to make Interesting Talks a very safe environment for women to attend. Probably 60%+ of those attend are women. Please see the feedback in the group reviews and individual events to see what they have to say.

We have so many great talks lined up for you. So go ahead and get booking.
