Networking and Referrals Top Most Effective Tools for Generating New Business, Survey Results Show

Data Underscore ETA’s Emphasis on Facilitated Networking at SLF

With the rise of the internet and social media, instant communication has been heralded as a boon for expanding networks and crafting lasting partnerships. But survey results show that when it comes growing your business, although social media and other digital platforms are powerful and growing, nothing beats a face-to-face meeting or an interpersonal introduction.

Entrepreneurs and business owners of all shapes, sizes and industries agree: networking, referrals and introductions and expanding existing partnerships are the best ways to expand business and bolster the bottom line. In fact, these surveyed leaders agree that networking is 10x more effective than digital interaction. The payments industry is one that is constantly evolving, and partnerships can help facilitate streamlined, cutting-edge payments experiences that merchants want and consumers demand.

ETA is proud to offer the superior networking event for the payments industry, our Strategic Leadership Forum. At SLF, this year in Dana Point, California, the top echelon of the payments industry will have an unrivaled opportunity to make lasting connections, facilitate key introductions and share insights on some of the biggest opportunities and challenges in the payments ecosystem.
