#EYorksHour | 11th March | Roundup


#BeingCommunal is about listening to, engaging and connecting with like minded people to generate ideas and lasting business relationships. We found research that suggests 90% of business leaders in Britain tap into and share advice with other businesses. Therefore we took to #EYorksHour to find out how communal our networkers are and it was evident that we are part of a fantastic community, due to the overwhelming amount of responses we received. 

If you missed last weeks #EYorksHour about #Pancaketoppings then please have a read: http://eyorkshour.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/pancake-topping.html 

But first things first, Tuesday was also the birthday of dedicated #EYorksHour networker and surface pattern designer @S_Fleming12!


Happy Birthday from @EYorksHour!!

In the spirit of #beingcommunal please take a look at Sarah's website: http://t.co/iSrjHjUSeQ

Being Communal: 

Now back to rounding up the hour, and we’ve picked out a collection of tweets that offer an insight into East Yorkshire’s local businesses. 

How much time do you spend tapping into the wisdom of other people around you?

@ChefmartynShaw: loads, especially as a chef I find inspiration and improvements I can make from everywhere.

@TaheraMayat: too much ;) worry I may be annoying them! but if they have experience/knowledge may as well use it :) 

@beerinabottle: I'm watching and learning from fellow networkers #beingcommunal . Hopefully I'll have more to offer when we get up and running!

@ManarInfo: being relatively new to E yorks I am using local contacts and wisdom to help me build a strong network. Have found it Invaluable

Where do you actively find people to help with your business queries and conundrums? 

@SwannAutomotive: we often speak to others in the motor trade if it's a car query, often v.helpful both in person & on twitter 

@ManarInfo: I've met great people through networking events - who've then introduced me to others. Got a great deal for my website this way!

@clientmarketyks: We help businesses by helping with the sales and marketing strategy but most importantly by listening to business owners

@S_Fleming12: Networking online is fab for #beingcommunal and sharing info,advice & work. Twitter being most successful for me. 

How does providing #support and #advice to other local businesses help your business? 

@clientmarketyks: It is nice to follow the #giversgain philosophy by helping others and to have referrals and reciprocal business as a result

@ManarInfo: helps me to always develop and improve my own practices...helped a local women's group with business planning today. Inspired me

@DMP_Surveying: we have a day of yr10 mock interviews tomorrow at Hornsea high, hoping to help the students understand interviews

Have you found networking in an environment such as #EYorksHour makes you more communal? 

@beerinabottle: #beingcommunal definitely helps in the #EYorksHour environment. Everyone so friendly and helpful.

@ManarInfo: Yes definitely...sat in the comfort of my own home but am connecting and hearing about businesses across the area ;)
