Build relationships that open commercial opportunities.

My role as a Hashtag Events ambassador

My role is about connecting people: helping business owners find the right conversations, meet useful contacts and become part of a wider business community.

I bring over 25 years of sales, marketing and business ownership experience to those relationships. I take the time to understand what a business does, who it wants to reach and where a relevant introduction could help.

Hashtag Events brings businesses together at events across the country. Whether you attend to meet new contacts or take a stand to put your business in front of potential customers, it is an opportunity to grow your network with commercial purpose.

Attend an event. Put your business in the room.

Come along to meet business owners, discover potential suppliers and partners, and start conversations that could lead to your next opportunity. Bring a clear idea of who you want to meet and what your business can offer, then follow up while the conversation is fresh.

Exhibit and create new opportunities

If you want to raise your profile and showcase what you do, explore having a stand. It gives you a base for meeting prospective customers, demonstrating your expertise and building relationships face to face.

As an ambassador, I can help you think through where attending or exhibiting fits your sales and marketing activity. With over 25 years of commercial experience, my focus is on turning the people you meet into relationships that support business growth.

Building networks with commercial purpose

A valuable network is built on trust, relevance and a willingness to help each other. I connect owners, teams and businesses whose expertise, ambitions or customer needs give them a reason to work together.

That might mean introducing a potential supplier, bringing complementary businesses into a conversation or helping someone find the support they need to move forward. The aim is to create connections that have a clear purpose for everyone involved.

Turning introductions into working relationships

The introduction is the starting point. Relevant follow-up, a clear next step and an understanding of what each business needs are what turn a conversation into a commercial relationship.

That thinking runs through my work with Momentum and Gain Momentum: connect the right people, keep track of the opportunity and follow through with intent.
