FAQs
Online Meet ups - what to wear, what to do if the dog barks or kids are jumping around behind me?
We want you to join our online meet ups and feel comfortable doing it. We know how life has changed and our Online Meet Ups reflect that. That’s why we’re happy for you to mute your mic or switch off your camera if something crops up.
What we do ask is that you’re ready to join the meeting with a few minutes to spare so we can let you in on time at 9:55am. Even though you’re at home, please remember to dress appropriately for networking (you can still keep your slippers on, of course!) and make sure you have all your business info and links ready to share in the chat box.
In Person Meet ups - What to wear and bring along?
Even though this is an informal business Meet Up, you’ll want to make a good impression. As you are connecting with potential new clients, wearing something smart/casual is the way to go.
What should you bring with you?
Apart from your best smile, bring business cards, leaflets and products if you have any. Meet Ups start at 10:00 am so arrive anytime from 9.55 am, grab yourself a cuppa and find someone to chat to. If you’re a little nervous, you can chat to your host who will be happy to introduce you to others. Then take a seat and get ready for the introductions; the perfect opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to the group. Please note this is optional, so if you are not ready to talk in front of a group, there is no judgement whatsoever if you decide to opt-out.
