What we’re about
Talk Business Networking is here to help you expand your network, grow your mind!
Each and every Wednesday, 9-10am, we have fabulous meetings where we meet new people (Introductions, 20 mins), learn new stuff (Talk Business, 20 mins), and share what's been happening (networking, 20 mins).
“I’ve really enjoyed attending Talk Business! The program is well-designed, encourages interaction, and delivers rich content all within just 60 minutes.”
Introductions: New? You get 30 secs to introduce yourself to the group so get a pitch ready or wing it? Next, Question of the Week, an icebreaker, gets everyone talking - we want to hear what you think. Then, Showcase, 10-minute visual presentation for a regular to explain who they are, what they do, so we can get to know them and their business better.
Talk Business: it's in the name. Each week we discuss a new theme - some aspect of business everyone will have an opinion or experience with. Could be customers, sales, making money, setting goals, how to achieve them - you name it, we talk about it. Great time to get practical takeaways and cool ideas.
Networking: everyone gets 3-5 mins to talk in a small group on anything they want - how their weeks been, successes, challenges, what they've learnt - the good, bad, the ugly - anything you like. This is where you really get to know people and maybe have a few laughs!
“Free speech, welcoming, inspiring.”
Who's it for? Small business owners, budding entrepreneurs, someone with an idea but doesn't know how to start, business students - anyone who wants to meet new people, get new ideas, fresh perspectives or stay motivated and connected.
Will I get sales? Yes, but! Sales usually come as a consequence of being knowledgeable, trustworthy, capable. Think less getting referrals and more getting known. And there's no limits on who can attend based on industry, profession or trade. Think more collaboration, connection, not competition.
“A+ Highly rate the experience, sharing thoughts and insights.”
How much? $5! We're more about giving value than getting reward. We want no barriers to entry, no monthly or yearly commitment, but we do need to pay the bills. Rock on up, meet friends and newbies. have fun, leave smarter, get motivated!
No targets, no pressure, no stress, just smiles!
Our vision is to become Christchurch largest networking group by providing weekly meetings of value for small business owners (present and future) who want to expand their network and "Talk Business".
Sold you yet? Sweet! RSVP for one or more of the Meet Ups and see you then. If you forget, just turn up anyway, there's always room for YOU!
