Networking groups near Rutherglen, W5

Welcome to BizSocial Online Business Networking -

Apologies for various confusing emails recently about the closure of BizSocial Networking in GLASGOW. .... but there was an issue with MeetUp and we lost control of our own groups recently.

This is so far from the truth, as we have many plans to re-launch our networking groups in GLASGOW when safe to do so.

For now, i would like to invite you to visit our UK Online Networking Groups.

Guests are allowed to visit once, to each group.

This group is for any business whether you are just starting or already well established. The aim is to share ideas and experiences and provide a resource for practical and informative advice and support for all types of business.

Through regular events and activities which all members will have the opportunity to participate in and promote their business to other members we want to build a business community that will work together for all our mutual benefit.

If you want to be part of the future of business in Scotland then join us now.

This is networking for people who hate networking. It is for entrepreneurs and self-starters who work in cafes (or from home). It’s an opportunity to work together, learn essential business skills and share skills without the usual ‘working the room’ pressure. Read any article or book on networking and it will tell you that it’s all about building ‘real’ relationships. However, for a lot of people it’s actually all about anxiety (“what’s my elevator pitch”, “how can I introduce myself to people”), a developing collection of – never again looked at – business cards and an uncomfortable feeling of trying to compete with the networking pros. Something different? Here’s a new idea; a networking event that is about working and sharing expertise. There’s no anxiety to sell yourself or your business – because that’s not allowed. So it really is about developing supportive relationships and about learning life and business lessons from the people you meet. It's social but with a real focus on developing business skills. Small groups are better? Uncomfortable when faced with large groups? So are a lot of people, so each meeting is confined to at most ten attendees. That way you're likely to find it less intimidating and likely to get to know individuals rather than have superficial chats with lots of different people. What if loads of people are keen to participate? Easy, more than one meeting can go on at the same time; but just in a different cafe. In fact lots of meetings can be going on, in lots of different venues, all with small groups of motivated business entrepreneurs. The rules: * Strictly no selling; anyone selling their services or products won’t be invited back. Why no selling? * At each event there will be a one hour learning/mentoring session from 11am – 12am  * Each event is about getting work done and learning/sharing business success advice. You can of course come and go as the please. Suggest a date to meet in your cafe! Jim Byrne

We are trying to crystallise entrepreneurial activity in the area of internet enabled communications - often called M2M, sometimes IoT and sometimes remote sensing - but generally relating to gathering data, transmitting it into the cloud and doing stuff with it. 

Let's hope this Meetup can help connect people, through Networking events, and enlighten us all to new trends, new technologies, new partnerships and new opportunities.
