Being A Member Of The Athena Network Means That …
Women are attracted to Athena because it addresses an often missing ingredient in the networking recipe and they recognise the benefits of networking with Athena:
Increased chances of business success: Face-to-face interactions positively impact your business’ success significantly.
More effective online/social media networking: Face-to-face networking makes your online networking and social media more effective. Meet the faces behind your Twitter/Facebook contacts!
Inexpensive way to market: Face-to-face networking is one of the most powerful, effective and cost-effective ways to market your business.
Wider circle of influence: Meeting other women will expand your contact list and influence circle which can lead to an increase in business opportunities and referrals.
Knowledge and learning: Network strategy and business development training enables you to maximise your networking activities.
Personal and business growth: The more contacts you make, and the more networking events you attend, the more confident you will feel about your business and yourself.
NOTE: We refer to our virtual meetings as “face-to-face” because you will be face-to-face with all delegates and we have perfected a virtual networking meeting that makes you feel you are in the same room!
