Bulls Eye Networking (BEN) refers to the creative
techniques and tools designed by SAEC to make networking more
effective.
Why Is Bulls Eye Networking?
Most networking events are like blind dates. Nine out of
ten times you end up speaking with people who can't move your
business ahead. The person or persons you want to speak with
could be just yards, or inches away! But it's hard to walk
into a room of one hundred people and try to find John Doe,
CEO of XYZ, Inc. Most of the time, it's up to you to drift
around the room hoping to bump into the right contacts. Sure,
you can have a great time but let's not call it a networking
event.
SAEC Difference
Everything we provide to member
entrepreneurs is FREE or for nominal fees including Bulls
Eye Networking (BEN).
We put mechanisms in place so that you meet the right business
contacts. As part of the Bulls Eye Networking (BEN) program,
we:
1) Provide a "Who
Is Coming and Why" (WICH list)" to all
attendees. The WICH list contains the Name, Company Name,
Business Activity, and Mission (why you are coming to the
event) for the attendees. The WICH list is published on
our web site OR is emailed to the attendees 24-48 hours
prior to the event. Each person is assigned a unique badge
number that allows attendees to browse through the list,
write them down and locate specific individuals at our events.
2) Provide a green/red dots that you can attach to your
badges to differentiate an ability to provide a resource
from a need for resource; like a seller and buyer scheme.
We also use a letter scheme to highlight the prime category
of your business.
If you have a suggestion to make networking more effective,
please write
to us. In the subject area write "BEN Suggestion."
