Welcome!

Where networking becomes easy!

Our difference: a new way of networking

#1 The Kovalys Connect principle: Give to receive!

The most common mistake of networking participants is to come with the idea of just taking - taking contacts, taking referrals, taking leads - without giving anything away. The best way to find opportunities is to be yourself an opportunity for others! This is the spirit in which our Community operates, and this is what makes our business events so successful.

Our principle: "Give to receive!" We only accept participants who share the values and spirit of our Community.
That's how each participant leaves with an average of 10 recommendations at each event. So give! Give contacts, give recommandations, give anything that you think can help each single person you meet.

#2 The Golden Rule: Be all ears!

Another very common mistake from networking attendees is to try to categorise people, and focus only on those who fit their ideal customer profile, cutting short the conversation and neglecting the other people who don’t match - without even paying attention to who they are, what they really do, and maybe who they might know.

Keep in mind that your network is your greatest asset, and behind every person is a network.

Take the time to talk to everyone, to explain your business and be all ears.
This is the best way to create quality relationships, and in the long term, to exchange as many contacts as possible and generate as much business as possible.

Alone we go faster, together we go further.

Connect. Build. Inspire. Together.
