Networking workshops for small businesses

 print  e-mail 

With more than 60% of small business owners finding networking events an important way to build up useful contacts for their business, Barclays has announced a series of networking workships to help business owners increase their profits and improve their marketing. The workshops run during September and November across the UK.

Robert Craven, who will be delivering the workshops, said: "The Let's Talk Bright Marketing and Let's Talk More Profit workshops are a brilliant opportunity to step back, think about what you are trying to do and start to make decisions that will fundamentally improve the profitability of your business."

The workshops will look at how they can improve their bottom line performance and introduce them to various profit-making strategies which will enable SME's to develop individual action plans to help them put their tactics into action.

A list of seminars is below. Small businesses interested in attending should call 0800 515 462 or visit http://www.barclays.co.uk/seminars/moreprofit/.
