Site finding

Post by Style »

Had an idea. Has anyone ever tried a breakfast club for siting towers. We have a local hospice that we support with our towers and I thought I might try one of these breakfast clubs to get some sites. Would be interested to see if anyone has tried before and what success they have got?
Cheers

Yeah, basically you pay 20 quid, go along have a breakfast meeting with a load of local businesses. Each visitor gets a minute or two to introduce themselves to the club and ask for business. I think its worth a punt!

I have tried one, when I was trying to get in a local Rugby club......

It failed and there was little in the way of other potential sites there. Might be worth a go but the one I went to was basically just very small businesses like plumbers and a clown!

Mine was free and included a bacon sandwich so wasnt a total waste of time!

I used to go to networking events a couple of years ago when I ran a contract cleaning business, really good for a dinner and a drink, but most of the businesses are solicitors and web designers!
You would need to go to quite a few and get really lucky to get any sites.

Thanks Mark. I will give it a go. Solicitors offices might be good, full of girls with sweet teeth and no canteen!
