“Your business can and will thrive on the connections and personal relationships you create”
I’ve been networking for most of my life but didn’t realise the importance or value of it until I started to work for myself after I was made redundant back in September 1991. During the last 20 years that I’ve run my own businesses I’ve met, watched, listened to, learned from and connected with thousands of business people and among them all, some incredible networkers. I’ve also alienated plenty of people in my early days by making all the classic networking mistakes which now means that you don’t have to. Through my SOS Networking seminars, workshops and tutorials for businesses, charities, educational organisations and individuals I will help you to make a clear-cut distinction between you and your competitors, enable you to stand out from the crowd and show you how to become a key ‘goto’ contact that your contacts think of and talk to first.
Great networkers are brilliant connectors who give first and build trust and respect and gain later. Your attitude and confidence will directly influence and impact on your relationship building success so I teach what the top networkers consistently do and show you precisely why they are so successful. What I’ve learned is that if someone else can do it I can learn to do it and so can you. My SOS Networking System provides you with proven techniques and strategies that deliver strong, long lasting and profitable business relationships while also building your personal brand. There are simple guaranteed ‘do now’ ways to create profitable business relationships so you can network with absolute confidence and build your business and career on recommendations and referrals.

Workshops
I work with businesses, charities, schools and universities all over the country and give practical tips and skills that enable delegates and clients to become confident and successful professional networkers
My knowledge and experience in business networking has developed over the last 20 years as I’ve generated my own extensive network of business contacts and grown my business by referral and recommendation and I share that experience through a wide variety of events – so you’ll find something to suit every industry sector, interest and budget. My keynote speeches give delegates a toolkit of skills that enable them to move forward confidently in both their business and personal lives, aware of the impact they are having on the people they meet, and able to turn that impact to their advantage. I also customise my sessions to your type of organisation and the people who are attending, ensuring everyone is comfortable and ready to enjoy the session.
I’ll show you how you can create career and business opportunities, develop your personal confidence and build success. You will learn how and where to network, how to manage your business contacts and how to follow up afterwards in the most useful way to you and your business, while helping others make connections too. And most of all, networking is fun so I’ll teach you how to relax so you can and will enjoy yourself! You can have confidence in the systems and strategies I teach because everything I share is everything I consistently do every day, to create and maintain my own extensive business network and to win regular and repeat referral business.
“He speaks of practical and useful tips to help people make the most of their networking opportunities… I can heartily recommend Tony as a speaker.”
“My business partner and I recently attended the SOS Networking event held by Tony Altham in conjunction with Business Brokers. The event was extremely well organised and well attended. Tony hosted it with a warm, informal style that held everyone’s attention and at once put us at ease and inspired us to engage positively with the other attendees. He has an easy confidence as a speaker and has an inclusive style of language that draws his audience. He speaks of practical and useful tips to help people make the most of their networking oppotunities. At the event he highlighted some simple networking tools and also talked of the importance of following up on contacts made at the event. I myself met some very interesting people, a number of whom I have since been in contact with and with whom I expect to do business in the future. I can heartily recommend Tony as a speaker at events such as these and will certainly be attending more.” Alejandra Garcia – Belvoir! Stoke-on-Trent
“After hearing Tony speak my fears around networking disappeared.”
“I first met Tony Altham at my first networking event in December of last year – the event was SOS Networking. Tony was the speaker at the event and he explained the key elements to networking. For me, new into bussines and at my first networking event this was really valid information. Tony spoke in ‘my language’, no fuss, no complicated jargon, just good old fashioned ‘common sense’, good manners, and a good sense of humour… and from a point of a wealth of experience! After hearing Tony speak my fears around networking disappeared and I actually looked forward to building connections and business relationships, after all this is what it was all about! – Louise Griffin – Achieve YOUR Potential
“His delivery was first class and highly valued by the group.”
Tony recently delivered a first class ‘networking’ presentation to a business start up group I am supporting as part of a North Staffordshire Business Initiative programme (City Test Trading). His delivery was first class and highly valued by the group. His energy and knowledge is clealry evident. I would not hesitate to recommend Tony to others – Edwin Lewis – Wider Impact Consultancy
