Today
I attended my first meeting, as a 'visitor', to decide
whether I'd like to join. Having ended the meeting
with three prospective new clients, and a lot of very
excited interest. I'm in! Wrap it, I'll take it!

... now a Member!
I
just thought that you might like to know that I have just
totalled up the amount of revenue TipTop generated through
Athena referrals from June 2005 to end of June 2006 (my 1st
year) and it came to: £24,740.12p.
Needless to say, I will be renewing my membership this year!

It
was lovely to meet you today and I really did enjoy the
meeting. Having been really apprehensive about the whole
networking idea it was great to meet so many nice ladies in
such a relaxed environment and to see networking happening
naturally without any pressure.

I
felt privileged to have been part of the workshop and will
certainly digest and put into practice all that you have
taught us.

Enjoyed being in an
atmosphere that is both warm and ‘buzzing’ whilst increasing
my knowledge and experiences of networking.

What
I enjoyed about today's workshop was that I am learning more
about the 'ease and grace' of networking ... it's finally
becoming less daunting. Thank you.
