*** NEWSFLASH
21st May 2009 ***
What makes us differentWe've taken some of the best concepts from traditional networking groups and made them better by using our advanced technology to remove the need to travel to meetings and eliminate geographical boundaries. Advantages of participating in the Ozone Business Network over traditional networking groups include:
We believe that "when smart people get together, good things happen" ... we've proved it to be true on many occasions.
Whereas other business networking groups focus on generating referrals which may result in incremental transactional business, we provide a forum for dynamic individuals to meet and work together to grow their business through exchange of qualified leads, ideas and expertise. We are truly international and are the only weekly networking group who can, and regularly do, involve overseas participants. Unlike many networking groups, we do not preclude participants from joining other networking organisations, in fact we positively encourage it. Many of our participants are also members of The Institute of Directors and the Chambers of Commerce.
How it worksParticipants meet regularly both 'virtually' by phone & web and 'face to face' at networking events held in upmarket locations. By meeting regularly, they expand their network of valuable business contacts and grow their businesses. Phone and web meetings take place once a week. Face to face social networking meetings are held at least once per quarter. Participants work together passing leads and exchanging skills within our informal honour system.

Why it worksIt works because our weekly phone and web based virtual meetings follow the same agenda which has been proven to produce effective results. The sole objective of every virtual meeting is to enable participants to make valuable new business contacts. Although our quarterly face to face meetings are less structured with the emphasis on getting to know existing members better and meeting new contacts, we are not a social club. Participants commit to making a demonstrable contribution to the group in return for the efforts of others.
Weekly virtual meetingsParticipants join a 1 hour phone and web based virtual meeting at the same time each week to be introduced to new contacts and 'touch base' with people they are already working with. No special equipment or technical skills are needed. You simply dial a London number from from your regular phone (land line or mobile) and log onto a website.
The objective is to impart enough information to allow other members to generate qualified leads, not to make direct sales to those on the call. Face to face meetings
Who should participateThe Ozone Business Network is aimed at Entrepreneurs, Executives, Senior Managers & Partners in successful growing companies wishing to extend their network of business contacts. Companies selling knowledge based products and services which do not rely on geographic proximity find our virtual meeting model particularly attractive and successful. Examples include:
Free ParticipationParticipation in the Ozone Business Network is FREE of charge. Here's why: Most networking organisations' core business is running networking events. They exist to make a profit from their members. If you've attended traditional breakfast meetings, you'll be familiar with the model. They typically charge an annual membership fee and between £10 and £20 for each meeting. We are different. We do not need (or want) to make money from running the Ozone Business Network. We use the term Participant instead of Member to highlight the difference between our engagement model and those of 'for-profit' business networks. Our core business is providing businesses with audio and web conferencing services to help them save money on business travel. Weekly phone and web based virtual meetings are powered by our OzoneENTERPRISE service, the same service which we sell. Since we own the platform, our incremental costs for hosting the meetings are minimal and hence we do not need to charge you for participating. Virtual networking meetings demonstrate the benefits of being able to meet by phone and web and help increase Ozone Conferencing's brand awareness. It sounds like an overused cliché but it's true, the Ozone Business Network is genuinely run by the participants, for the participants. Participation RequirementsThere are no formal requirements for participation however, to keep the quality of contacts high, startups and one-man-bands are encouraged only if they are able to provide real value to the group. Ideal participants are those from registered companies and partnerships which have been trading for at least one year. Benefits of participation include:
