Anyone use it?

Seems a bit steep for full membership (£500pa), but I guess not if you get a few deals through it..

I have looked at this but have also concluded that the membership is a bit too much. I'm going to wait a little while and see how things plan out on my side before going for the membership.

Aren't most other forms of networking much better? Never tried, just curious. May also add to the OP's knowledge too.

I have a 4Networking thing that meets at the hotel I work at. They do the "Breakfast meeting" and it struggles to pull more than around 10 people once a week. Most of them looking for cheap deals so you never make as much profit as in a normal business relationship. Also, it depends on what type of business you are in, out of those 10 people, how many would actually want/need your services.

Don't bother, it does not work like it says in the little booklet.

Did it for a year and only got two (small) bits of work from it. If your target market is very small businesses with no budgets then it's probably worth attending. They do a 6-month trial membership for £200 IIRC.

The great thing about 4n is its a 'joined up' network; with the £500 membership you can go to any group in the UK. Most networking outfits won't let you do this.

I did a lot of work with 4n in their early days and they're a great bunch.
