Networking dilema

December 12th, 2006

I found myself toying with the idea of joining a local BNI chapter this morning, for no other reason than the fact that I could combine it with a trip to the gym! Seriously though I wondered if it would be a good thing to do to promote my Kids Photography business.

I used to go to networking events a lot in the beginning - well the beginning of promoting my landscape photography, but decided it just wasn’t the right way to promote that business.

Kids Photography is slightly different, but what puts me of attending is not having to be there for 7am, but that it has to be every week. And I mean every week.

And the fact that a friend went along to a meeting and was unable to leave as there was a queue of people wanting to tell her about their services, the first time she ever met them. It really put her off.

So I think I’ve talked myself out of that idea!

What would be really nice if every happy client told two of their friends, and they booked a sitting. Sadly life intervenes, and it doesn’t happen as I’d like it to all of the time.
