After joining WIBN in 2010 as a member promoting her own therapy business, Sam quickly saw the power in networking and making authentic connections. Through networking Sam didn’t just triple her investment in the first year, she came away with firm friendships and also her own team of cheerleaders in the shape of the other members ready to assist, support, connect and pass business her way. </p><p><br></p><p>Therefore when the opportunity to become a franchisee Sam didn’t need to be asked twice and for the past 10 years she has been looking after WIBN groups in the capital, managing nine of the London groups as well as the Colchester WIBN and the National Online 'WIBN Angelou' group.</p><p><br></p><p>Sam's advice to anyone when networking would be approach each meeting from the point of view who can I help, rather than who can help me - think “farming not hunting\" and you won't go far wrong.</p><p><br></p><p>I can add testament to the fact that Sam is one of the best networkers I have ever worked with. Through her energy, enthusiasm and supportive nature, Sam brings together ladies across all aspects of business making each individual feel special and important. I continue to love being a part of Sam's WIBN Groups. </p><p><br></p><p>You can read more about Sam here: <a href=\"https://wibn.co.uk/general/custom.asp?page=Samantha_Lawton\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Samantha Lawton - Franchisee - Women In Business Network</a></p><p><br></p><p>Please click here to find out more about my business: <a href=\"https://www.empoweringyourcircle.com/podcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Join Our Podcast | Empowering Your Circle</a></p><p><br></p><p>Hazel, Empowering Your Circle</p>","author_name":"Hazel Theocharous"}
