Our collective experience with networking tells us one thing: the most frustrating thing about networking is that it takes a lot of time while no one can predict the results (when, what and how much).
Beezoos does not only solve this frustrating problem, but it makes networking easy to plan, easy to integrate with other marketing activities and easy to measure. At the end of a networking cycle with Beezoos (every 6 months), you will know how much time you have spent on this activity, how many new customer referrals you have received, how many you have turned into new customers and how much you have earned from these new customers and the recurring sales.
From now on, you can include Beezoos networking into your marketing mix, for it follows the same rules as any other marketing activity: plan, measure & optimize.
Here are some of the key indicators you must look at, when deciding your yearly networking budgets and activities:
| Indicator | Various networking platforms | Beezoos | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Time spent on networking | 5-10 hours/week | - | 0.5 hours/week (1 hour every other week) | + |
| 2 | Results | Hard to predict | - | No. of new customer referrals, sales/lead, recurring sales/lead | + |
| 3 | Price | It varies a lot, but the lower the investment the lower the involvement. Nevertheless, trade shows and networking events are expensive and time consuming and need repetition, although they can uncover good opportunities. | - |
|
+ |
| 4 | Other additional investments | Various: networking events fees, additional promo materials, breakfasts, lunches, travel related expenses (including gas), and last but not least - other missed opportunities due to the unproductive time spent on travel to and from the event location. | - | No. Just use your phone line and internet connection. | + |
| 5 | What is the motivation to help | None. The people you network with have no strong motivation to look for new customers for you, when they actually hope that YOU are going to become their customers. Lack of motivation leads to lack of action and lack of results. | - | People who join Beezoos do it because they want to network smart for new customer referrals. The success of their Beezoos activity is measured in real indicators: no. of leads, no. of new customers, sale/customer, recurring sales. | + |
| 6 | Proximity to sales | It varies a lot: usually, when people join a networking platform, they hope to find new customers between its members. In theory, this sounds about right: you get in touch with various people and if they like your product or service, they become your customers. The reality though teaches us a valuable lesson: almost every person who joins these networks wants the same thing: to sell her/his product or service to the other people in that network. That is why, each network becomes saturated and inefficient in a very short amount of time. | - |
The shortest distance between you and your next customers!
