"In the early days of the
networking trend I joined a number of franchised breakfast
meetings and this opened my eyes to the benefits of generating
business leads through networking.
When I saw what Jason was doing at
Trafford Enterprises, I added this to my rounds of networking. I
soon realised that Jason was taking things to the next level
through his passionate and personal involvement in the
organisation. I now am no longer a member of the
breakfast groups and my main networking Focus is via Trafford
Enterprises. Why? Because it works.
As important as the new customers
is the new friends and support network I have built up. Through
Trafford I know I can find pretty much any supplier for me and
my associates. And each of those suppliers will be vetted,
ethical and professional. What is more, they will also be
looking out for business to pass back to me."

"I have really been impressed with
Trafford Enterprises service. After attending a couple of
events, both large and small, I have met very interesting
contacts and most importantly, made business leads. Jason takes
time to think about what businesses you should meet and helps
you to network effectively."

"I have to say that I was somewhat
sceptical about the style/format of the Trafford events but on
most occasions have come away with something positive. This
vindicates the adage 'don't dismiss it until you have tried it."

"Trafford Focus Group membership
has provided us with an an invaluable strategic networking
opportunity. The opportunity to meet like minded people who are
ambitious and can see the bigger picture cannot be taken
lightly.
The Focus Group format provides a
welcoming, relaxed but business like environment without the
formulaic approach of some alternative organisations. I can thoroughly recommend it to
any serious business person who values strategic networking."

"After studiously avoiding
anything to do with network groups, Jason somehow or
other persuaded me to attend a Trafford Premier Network group as
a guest. Much to my surprise, not only did I find the evening
thoroughly enjoyable but also very useful. Having become a
member and following some instruction by Jason on how to present
requirements (“the more specific you are the better the result”)
in my first six months with the group I have had leads which
have translated into revenue – more than double my annual fees. These leads are likely to lead to substantially greater income
as a recommendation from a person that a company already trusts
is worth about 500 cold calls.
The Trafford Group is very well
organized, very professional but has the knack of making a very
focused networking evening great fun."

"We have certainly seen fiscal pay back for our investment to date in Trafford and of
course the long-term payback is the investment in relationships
with a key number of members and their network."

"During my 2 years at Trafford I
met many interesting people and even did some business with
them.
The return for an accountant is
easy as you only need one decent client to cover the costs, the
main factor is the time, but even this is no problem as the
monthly meetings are in the evenings at an enjoyable location
where you have a nice meal and network with like minded
businesses.
If you are looking for a pleasant
and non pushy networking environment I can thoroughly recommend
Trafford."

"I joined Trafford Enterprises in
the Autumn of 2003, I was looking for a way to develop good
relationships with other business people who in time would have
confidence to recommend my company to their own contacts. What I
got was a whole lot more than that, firstly I not only gained
business from attending events I gained some good suppliers
(that are pre vetted) and friends.
What impresses me about Trafford
Enterprises is the devotion from Jason Trafford to ensure that
each member is getting the maximum out of their membership, he
continues to come up with new and exciting ways for members to
network, and ensures each meeting is run professionally and that
it's always a fun and enjoyable event.
I would say that if Networking is
something you are considering then Trafford Enterprises should
be first on your list, you will enjoy the events gain friends
and most importantly gain business through the introductions
made."

"I joined Trafford Enterprises
earlier this year. I had belonged to other networking
organisations but hadn't found them a successful support for my
business. Trafford Enterprises completely changed my opinion!
The innovative format and Jason's personal
support for each member transformed my business with an
immediate flow of new customers. Within the first 6 weeks I had
a 600% return on my investment!
One of the most valuable benefits
of joining has been the long term business relationships I have
made with other members. The events are great fun, professional
and productive and I always look forward to them.
Trafford Enterprises is a national
success story waiting to happen and its growth will further
support the businesses it serves. I am really proud to be a
member."

"I find Trafford Enterprises to be
an extremely professional and successful networking
organisation. When I first met Jason Trafford I knew that I
would get work through his company and their networking events.
I have received work from other members of the Premier Dinner
Group and have been able to pass on warm leads which have
resulted in profitable business for them.
I highly recommend Trafford
Enterprises to individuals and companies who are serious about
getting new business and want to contribute to effective
networking group."

"Everyone should understand that
Networking is a 'Long Game' Establishing your own credibility
and expertise in people's minds is a subtle and continuous
process.
After 18 months as a Trafford
Member I now receive regular business from other members with
whom I have built a relationship but more importantly I receive
3rd party business from potential customers introduced to me by
Trafford Members.
I have also received excellent
support from Jason and his Team."

"Just thought I'd drop you a note
firstly to say a HUGE thank you to you personally for inviting
me in to the Trafford Group. It has reeeeeeeaaaaally been a
pleasure to be part of what is a pretty tight ship.
You are so devoted and passionate
about what you do which makes it so much easier for your members
to be the same. It's always been great to be part of a group
that actually cares about the other people and follows through
on promises. We also have a good laugh too which is definitely
part of the mix for me.
Your organisation won hands down
for me when originally looking at networking groups and it is
true to say that to a large extent that was because of YOU. You
have been enormously supportive of both me and all your members
and that, to my mind, is the X factor of networking.
So again my HUGEST thanks to you.
Pleeeeeeeeeease keep in touch - pleeeeeeeeease visit us if ever
you get the chance and COME TO OUR PARTIES and when you meet
Eddy ASK ME TOO!!!! We're pretty good buddies (another Trafford
success)."

"I joined Trafford in November
2007 and I can honestly say that having networked like a demon
using various organisations I was pleasantly
surprised with the format and supportive members.
Jason is very specific and
thorough about his members and everyone seems to be like minded
strong business people.
I have to say that I have received
a number of good quality leads which have turned into solid
business for me, however the major benefit I find from Trafford
is meeting the members, discussing problems or issues and
solving it directly.
Trafford is a very professional,
friendly, well thought out and in my mind fantastic networking
group - Jason is very driven and extremely supportive.
If you are thinking of networking
then join Trafford, it has paid for itself over and over again
for my business!"
