Ending the ‘Notworking’ Cycle

Stop Selling, Start Connecting: I Fix Business Networking.

Business networking often feels painful. The graveyard is full of business cards that never turned into business, and you are left wondering if the time investment was worth it. For busy small business owners, this awkward, transactional approach is nothing more than meaningless ‘notworking’, draining time and confidence from your limited resources.

I help leaders and their teams make the profitable shift. My core mission is to show you how to transition from random, awkward encounters to a predictable, relationship driven revenue system powered by authentic human connection.

Experienced, Not Traditional

I am a business networking specialist who has been actively networking since 2003, observing exactly where the system breaks down. My experience goes beyond attendance; I have frequently held leadership positions in various networking and business organisations, and I was a co-founder of an independent networking initiative that ran successfully for several years. During this time I have seen talented professionals waste their efforts on short term pitches, ignoring the vast potential of long-term relationships built on trust. My unique system was born from this frustration.

In total, I bring more than 40 years of hard won, verifiable business experience with a light, fun and human approach. I am a mature businessman, but I do not follow the old rules; I engage easily with people of all ages and backgrounds, and my approach is flexible and fun, but deadly serious about getting you results. I believe that because we are all connected, a human first system is the only ethical and effective way to run a business. My system is built to reflect that foundational compassion.

The Human First Advantage

My work is based on a clear, three part framework designed for immediate operational use. It eliminates guesswork, cuts out the noise and guarantees that your time investment pays off by focusing on value, not the sale.

Strategic Selection:

Stop Random Attendance

We move beyond random invites and endless, time wasting events. I teach you how to identify and attend the right opportunities that maximise your ability to meet other businesspeople on a human level, ensuring quality always triumphs over quantity.

Human First Engagement:

Forget the Pitch

The most powerful tool you have is genuine curiosity. We shift the focus entirely to taking a natural interest in the other person and actively seeking ways to add value to their world first. This is the critical step that earns trust and builds true Relational Capital.

Authentic Follow Up:

Secure the Value

I replace generic, forgettable emails with a meaningful, personalised program. You will implement a powerful 24 to 48 hour follow up that keeps the connection warm and turns a promising conversation into a reliable, long-term referral source.

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

For the Small Business Owner, Not the Corporate Boardroom

My systems are built for the operational reality of small businesses (10–50 employees) where every minute and every relationship matters. You need execution, not just theory, to grow.

This system will reduce wasted time, increase the quality of inbound referrals, and transform business networking from a dreaded chore into a powerful, ethical growth engine for your business.
