Networking

Networking is the key to successful freelancing. Good networking means you meet new suppliers, make new contacts and win new business. It also means having a huge knowledge of what is out there and where to find it; if you ever need a magician or a coach, a dog whisperer or a consultant, ask a freelance.

BoB - Business Over Breakfast, Devizes	www.bob-devizes.co.uk
Having risen from the ashes of a previous BNI Chapter, BoB meets on the first and third Tuesdays at the Black Swan in Devizes. It's a great group and welcomes everyone who wants to start the day with an excellent breakfast, a reminder that we have a lot of support around us, and a chance to do business.
