Commonly asked questions about networking events

Q. What does the ticket cost cover?
A. The ticket cost covers the event, guest speaker and dinner. Drinks are at bar prices
Q. What if I have special dietary requirements?
A. When you book and pay for your ticket, you will automatically be asked if you have any special dietary requirements.  We are able to cater for your needs as long as you provide this information at this time, not on the evening. We will then notify the restaurant in advance so they can cater for your needs.
Q. What if I have paid and I can’t attend?
A. Once you have booked and paid for your ticket if you need to cancel you can as long as you give us 48 hours notice. Please understand that once we give the final numbers to the restaurant they will cater for that amount and charge us accordingly. If you can’t attend these are your options:
•    You can change your booking to another event
•    You can transfer your ticket to another person as long as you call the office and give us her details. If she doesn’t
      attend for some reason, then you forfeit the ticket
•    Or, give us 48 hours notice of cancellation and we can issue you with a refund.
(Please note: if there are extenuating circumstances, we do have a heart!)
Q. If I bring a friend along can I get a discount?
A. We pride ourselves in giving you a lot of value and a high quality event for a reasonable investment. We have decided to keep it at that cost so that most people can afford to attend. Therefore, there are no discounts offered for bringing guests along. Most of our marketing is ‘word of mouth’ and we find that women are happy to do that because it is a great value, high quality event. However, we do from time to time, have special promotion offers. So keep reading your newsletters to find out.
Q. Why is it a women only event?
A. That’s a great question and let me explain why… Women generally choose businesses that are client or customer focused. They often run their businesses from home and are juggling family and household responsibilities as well as maintaining a business. We believe that it takes a certain skill set to achieve this and strive to provide resources that are aimed at this target market. We also know that women make up for a large percentage of small and home based businesses and often feel isolated, disconnected and lacking resources and support. Therefore, our aim is to create an environment that is supportive of women and their needs.
Q. How does your event differ from any of the other networking events?
A. Our events differ in many ways. Firstly they are very relaxed, organic and we foster an attitude of ‘what can I do for you’ as opposed to ‘what can I get out of it’. That way you develop connections and create relationships which are long standing. We also assist women to create Joint Venture relationships and cross promotional opportunities with each other, Secondly, apart from providing plenty of networking opportunities we also provide education at the event. We aim for everyone to have learnt something new that they can take away and utilise straight away in their business. Thirdly, our events feel more like a dinner party with your girlfriends then they do a networking event. We offer a delicious meal, over candlelight, aromatherapy wafting through the room with lounge music playing in the background. Who says networking has to be hard work?
