We’re looking for a Roofing Contractor!

When I joined EBF I had recently gone into business by myself, as a freelancer.  With just a few clients under my belt, I hoped membership would help me to grow, and to become established.  It has certainly done that.  I’m now collaborating regularly with fellow members on new business, and have a regular flow of high quality referrals.  This is my No.1 focus for business growth.

When I first started in business my biggest concern was the ability to get new clients.

I have no doubt that the biggest factor in the success of my business has been joining the group. I cannot recommend it highly enough

I was introduced to Essex Business Forum by an existing member, and honestly at the time I did not know, nor understand what to expect. 2 years later, I can say EBF is beyond business referrals.

For me, it is about working closely with positive and inspirational external colleagues; and constantly educating each other.

I truly believe EBF has played a huge part in my professional development; and in my presence in the community.

There are many reasons why being a member of EBF has helped my business. Firstly of course are the recommended referrals. Our hit rate is really high on EBF business , way up in the 90%.

Secondly I have access to experts in their fields ,all of whom are happy to offer advice on issues that arise during business life and thirdly it helps you to build confidence.

Standing up and speaking in front of people doesn’t come naturally to all . Doing this on a regular basis really helped me to build confidence not only here but in my normal business dealings.

I fully recommend you come along and give EBF a try.

Setting up your own business is very different to being employed and I have found the group to be invaluable in terms of support, advice and assisting me to attract new clients.

If you are a new business I strongly recommend you join.
