Our second Business Swansea Support Hour will focus on the important topic of Business Networking Skills. Our briefing will be delivered by the Alan Brayley from Swansea Bay Business Club.

Pre-pandemic, business networking was something which most of us undertook regularly without much thought. It was seen as an effective and enjoyable way of broadening your network and securing new business.

For the past 18 months, we've been forced to engage online and whilst this has been better than no contact at all, it's no substitute for face-to-face meetings.

As restrictions begin to lift, in-person networking will come back into our diaries but having been away for so long, its only reasonable to assume we may need some brushing up of our networking skills.

Through Swansea Bay Business Club, Alan is an experienced business networker. He will cover the dos and don't of networking to ensure your time is spent as effectively as possible. He'll explain how you can develop meaningful, long-term relationships which are mutually beneficial.

All our Support Hours are designed to allow you to implement learning undertaken immediately. Sessions are free to attend, last only 60 minutes in total and are delivered online. You will have an opportunity to meet local, like-minded business also in attendance.

Once booked, you will be sent an email invite with joining instructions shortly prior to the workshop date. The session will be delivered using Microsoft Teams, this can either be accessed using the dedicated desktop/mobile app or directly through your web browser.
