What members say: "I was really quite unsure about networking when I joined The Bath Business Club. I have found friendship. I have found support. What's more I have found significant amounts of business - not just directly from the members but more importantly from people they know and I don't. It's taken a while - it does take a while for people to understand what you do and know you do it well, but it has definitely been worth it, not just for the business but for the people too."
Richard Hill, E-CRM Since joining, I have had a return of approx 1000%.Even if you ignore the support, advice and friendship, the business benefits for business's looking to grow are obvious.
Adam Morris, Avagio IT It took some persistent persuasion from a colleague that I should set my alarm clock and try a Breakfast Networking Meeting. I found myself at the Rugby Club in Bath on a Tuesday morning almost 2 years ago. Since then my alarm has been set almost every week. Not only has there been plenty of quality business generated from referrals from other members, but I am also getting business from ex members and visitors who may have only come once. So in financial terms my membership of The Bath Business Club has been very worthwhile. However that is not all, what I have been most impressed with is the quality of the other members, the open and relaxed atmosphere combined with the professionalism and integrity with which business is transacted makes the Club the perfect forum to increase business, get support and advice and develop a group of trusted friends.
Roger Davies, Apricot Mortgages The Bath Business Club has helped me in ways that I could not have foreseen prior to joining. We are a new business breaking into the Bath commercial property market and not only does the Bath Business Club provide a great platform to get to know other local businesses but it also exposes you to people with fantastic skills and knowledge that can help your business. Do I recommend the Bath Business Club to other companies? Yes definitely.
Jamie McNeil, McNeil Commercial I joined the Bath Business Club over 2 years ago, as one of its founder members. I had previously experienced other networks/selling groups, but was never comfortable with the ‘forced' referrals or speed dating culture. Over the last 2 years I have enjoyed the support and friendship of fellow members, as well as training, demonstrations and social events, and of course good business referrals and recommendations. As a result, my own business has been benefitted from several £1000's of additional revenue. A greater value has been the ability of drawing on the skills and experiences of its members.
Roger Grafton CTA "The Bath Business Club is so much more than a referral network. It also offers support to all of its members, as there is such a wide range of expertise within the club. Our business aim is rescue companies and individuals in financial difficulty. It is therefore vital that we keep our finger on the pulse of the local business community. The Bath Business Club certainly helps us achieve this."
Dan James, Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP The Bath Business Club has worked for me on many levels. Apart from the fact that I have gained significant new business many times more than the cost of the subscription, more importantly, I am now part of a network made up of leading experts in their respective fields whose extensive knowledge and experience I can call upon. This not only helps my business but strengthens our overall offering to clients and prospects, it's like the Club members are part of the team. Speaking from experience of a wide variety of such groups, The Bath Business Club is the best networking/referral opportunity in the South West offering support, training, business opportunity and friendship, to mention just a few of the benefits.
