Why Businesses Love SAM Networking

Having attended other more regimented business networking groups in the past, I feel that Sam has developed a great mix between business focus and enjoying each other’s company with like- minded people. I would urge you to give it a try.

There once was a lady named Sam, who cheered for each business, oh, damn! With a ‘chuffin’ hell’ she’d exclaim, support them all in the business game. I’m a big fan!

Like most things in life, the leader shapes the group/people/country, etc. to reflect their beliefs. SAM Networking is no exception. Sam has created an atmosphere that is warm, inviting and allows me to say I’m crap at that’. The other businesses in the group are encouraged to be supportive and kind and offer help when and where it is needed. It’s a great laugh and no meeting is complete without Sam saying ‘Chuffin’ Hell’. I learn something every week and my business has benefited enormously from being a member.

I joined SAM Networking initially because I needed to broaden my client base over Halifax way – it was purely transactional. It very quickly became apparent that SAM Networking is so much more than what I anticipated. The group is inclusive, supportive, fun, engaging – everyone is just decent – in it for the group – not just for themselves. I’ve won a ton of business but for me that’s not what is truly important – it’s the caring element – everyone has got your back and wants you to succeed. This is down to the individuals within the group but this wouldn’t be possible without the amazing Sam. She spots the individuals who will work well within the group – markets it superbly (she is a marketer so it would be a crying shame if she couldn’t do this bit well) and does this with a chuffing smile on her face. Would highly recommend this group to anyone (unless you work in HR in which case you can do one!)

I joined SAM Networking in March after moving down here last year and deciding to open another office in Huddersfield. I have networked in the North East and North Yorkshire for many years. But Sam Networking is something special. Sam is fantastic, she gets it and knows all the right things to do to ensure a successful group. And she is very choosey about who is good enough to take a seat at one of her tables. Other networking groups say that but do not always adhere to these standards in my experience. I have secured a lot of business via my wonderful Sam Group and made many new friends too. Thank you to Sam for running an amazing group and thank you to Gill Kitson for inviting me.

The Human Group

I was asked to visit SAM Networking as a guest in October 2021 by someone I knew who was a member. I hadn’t done networking before, so I didn’t know what to expect.

What a fantastic welcome I received from a great bunch of people who are all like-minded and full of enthusiasm for their businesses. I joined straight away. Two Expos, a charity ball, two barbecues, and two Christmas parties and over two years later I feel like a valued member of a very successful team. Would I join anywhere else? Would I chuff!

I really hate networking! Over the years I have tried to succeed at networking, but have generally found it to be a torrid pursuit. Nobody cares about your pitch; members are only thinking of themselves. SAM Networking is different, you are made to feel welcome and part of a team right away. No forced referrals, no pressure pitches, just mates helping each other out.

I’ve experienced both online and in-person networking with Sam’s groups. They’re run professionally and full of really good, enthusiastic business owners. For me, there is an enjoyable, more relaxed atmosphere. Despite this approach, it doesn’t stop the flow of genuine, ongoing business referrals and collaborations. Definitely one of my favourite networking groups. I’d also like to add that Sam turned out to be taller than I’d imagined and nothing like an Oompa Lumpa. (I had only seen Sam on Zoom until a few months ago!).

As someone who is new to running her own business and the world of networking, I’ve found the support I’ve received from Sam and my fellow lunch group members absolutely invaluable: An amazing bunch of people; a fun but effective networking format; learning something new every week; good food; and a chuffin’ brilliant host who is warm, welcoming and generous. Thank you Sam!

I’d been invited a few times to visit SAM Networking and did wonder why it was getting so much attention. I am so glad I took the plunge and visited the Leeds/Bradford group. Within a few months I was giving and getting referrals and earned over £15,000 in my first year. SAM is the heart of what proper networking is all about. You don’t have to be bat sh*t crazy but it helps!

When I started my business in 2020, networking was totally new to me as I had never had to do it before, plus I didn’t even know where to start!

I joined one well known group that came highly recommended but I found that unfortunately it wasn’t for me, but then someone introduced me to Sam Hartley who runs SAM Marketing, and I just knew straight away that not only had I found my ‘forever home’ networking group and I had found a fantastic friend too!

The group is so supportive of one another and meeting up every Thursday morning (very early!) has become breakfast with friends.

We laugh (and sometimes cry) because it is that sort of group where we can be open and honest with each other and I love that.

There are no hidden agendas, no chuffin’ divas, no backstabbing or one-upmanship (Sam just wouldn’t stand for that), just caring people who want to help each other personally and their businesses – that’s down to the way Sam runs the group and I love it!
