How a Company Draws Power from Networking
By Daniëlle Dijkstra - van der Ploeg
My name is Daniëlle and I am the owner of Power Company in Stadskanaal.
When I took over the company in 2016, we had been involved in business networking organizations in Emmen and Stadskanaal for a number of years and since then it has always remained a very important part of our organization. It has benefited my company so much! I remember well the first time I participated and what I will certainly never forget is how proud I was to do my 1-minute presentation as the owner after the business acquisition! Pretty exciting, but I was determined to present our business and discover new opportunities. And that’s exactly what happened!
Thanks in part to our business network, we were able to expand our customer base and establish new partnerships. We learned about market trends and competition, and were able to improve our product offerings and services to better meet our clients’ needs. But perhaps most importantly, we have built valuable relationships with other professionals and businesses in the region.
This has led to even more opportunities and collaborations, allowing us to continue to grow and develop. I cannot stress enough the importance of participating in business networking events and meetings. It can be scary at first, but the benefits are priceless. Now we network under the banner of Boomerang, and we see the results of professionalism, knowledge and training right away. I am very happy we took this step and look forward to even more opportunities and growth in the future!
