ā PLAY THE LONG GAME ā Thereās something really special about getting the right people in a room together š¤ Yesterday, I spent the day with 30 brilliant businesses from across the Cotswold wedding industry at the stunning
@mallory_court .
ā PEOPLE MEETING PEOPLE ā First and foremost, it was exactly what it should be, a beautiful, inspiring event for couples planning their big day. So many ideas, so much creativity, and such a lovely atmosphere for those all-important first conversations. But alongside that, there was something else happening quietly in the backgroundā¦ the coming together of people.
ā TOTAL PROS ā
@chloenlane ,
@maddyypayne , and their team of wedding and event super stars at Mallory Court were incredible. So warm, so welcoming, and pros through and through. They created an environment where everyone felt comfortable, whether you were a couple dreaming up your wedding or a supplier there to support it.
ā LEAN IN ā Itās easy to think of networking as just an āextraā at events like this. But actually, when you lean into it, it becomes just as valuable.
Networking is all about playing the long game. Taking the time to chat, to connect, to get to know people properly, not to sell, but to build real relationships.
ā THE LITTLE MOMENTS MATTER ā At a wedding showcase, the friendly chats in between meeting couples, they matter. Theyāre where trust starts, where collaborations are born, and where future opportunities quietly begin to take shape.
ā MAKING FRIENDS IN BUSINESS ā At the end of the day, itās not really about networking at all. Itās about making friends in business. And when you do that, the value lasts so much longer than just one event āØ
