Price:FREE
Date:Fri 13th Mar 2026
Time:12:00 - 12:30

Many founders network regularly but see little commercial return.

In this practical Lunch and Learn, Mark Elliott explores how to move beyond transactional, pitch-led networking and build relationships that convert.

You'll learn how to ask better commercial questions, follow up in a way that builds trust, develop strategic collaborations and even establish your own network if the right one doesn't exist locally.

This session is designed for experienced founders who want networking to become a deliberate growth strategy rather than an unpredictable activity, finding elusive connections and leveraging word-of-mouth.

Topics covered in this session

  • Why traditional, pitch-led networking underperforms
  • How to ask commercially intelligent questions that uncover real opportunities
  • How to turn contacts into strategic collaborations
  • The 24-hour follow-up approach that builds trust and momentum
  • How to build or convene your own network if the right one doesn't exist locally
  • A repeatable networking strategy aligned to your revenue goals
