TPE, SME and if you opt for the corporate network solution, type BNI?
Let's assume you've never heard of the BNI. It is a professional network based on mutual recommendations.

Let's say that our digital agency AKIDEL is a restaurant, (surprising isn't it?) if my company needs carnations to decorate the room during a wedding. I will ask my BNI florist to take care of it, rather than someone else.
In the same way, if an agency wishes to organize an end-of-year meal, it will call on the catering service of my restaurant rather than play the competition.
It is as trivial as that.
But then, how to get invited to a BNI and why participate?
To take part in a meeting, nothing could be simpler: just ask someone from the BNI in question to invite you.
The first objective for you will be to make yourself known. It goes without saying that a company could potentially need your services.
