Business Networking for SaaS Founders
In the business world, networking is often the lifeblood that drives growth, partnerships, and innovation. For SaaS founders particularly, striking the right balance between cost-effective virtual networking and face-to-face meetings can be a challenge ... Business networking, Connections made over coffee, Success on the brink The digital transformation has given birth to many and varied platforms and tools, making virtual networking a breeze. LinkedIn, virtual conferences, and even social media have enabled founders to connect with potential clients, partners, and influencers globally at a fraction of traditional costs. These platforms can facilitate countless meetings, demos, and interactions without leaving my office!A lot of it depends on what you're selling and to whom. If it's a low-cost generalist product, then virtual networking is probably the way forward. If it's a complex enterprise-level and expensive product, you're going to find face-to-face is better for you. Also, it depends on your budget, where in the start-up cycle you are and whether it's your team who are networking or the founders.
I personally network face-to-face with Collaborate MK each month, mostly to keep my own sanity because, let's face it, we're human beings and we like to be around other people. I still have my goal of getting demos scheduled, I just go about it a different way.
A brand new friendship, simply from being sat next to |
