Yeovil Business Group (YBG) is a group of local businesses focused on working together to create business opportunities for each other. It’s called referral marketing. Referral marketing is a proven method of promoting products and services to new customers through word of mouth recommendations. Growing a business is tough, the sales function is an expensive, time consuming task with a constant
need to fill your pipeline with qualified prospects on a regular basis. Joining YBG can help you with this. Its not rocket science, we meet every two weeks to talk about business, listen and understand what each business does, then look for business opportunities for each other. There is a huge potential at YBG to generate qualified opportunities for your business, so come along, tell us about your business and meet the rest of your support team. In today's business environment it is becoming increasingly important to establish strong, productive business relationships in order to stay competitive. Yeovil Business Group (YBG) encourages enterprise and business growth within the local community, with the sole purpose of helping its members to increase their business through structured, professional and fun networking meetings, enabling the development of meaningful business relationship and even friendships. Predicated on the idea that 'what we give, we receive, our membership are committed to not only considering what they might get from attending meetings, but also what they might give and guess what?... It works! We actively listen and support one another, providing active referrals and business. Indeed one small business owner (member) was happy to share that a whopping 90% of their business over the last 18 months has come directly from introductions and referrals passed on by YBG Members and guests and as a result they have also reduced their Sales and Marketing budget significantly, investing instead in membership of this lively Networking Group. We also believe in Paying it Forward and are focused on supporting local start up businesses and college students who are entrepreneurial in spirit through a Mentoring Service which is being launched in 2013. Watch this space! YBG provides a structured, yet relaxed and friendly environment in which to promote your business and make connections with other local professionals. Come and join us!
