It is with great pleasure that we present youwith a Company Profile for the EBI WestRand, Sandton and Randburg.
"Face-to-face Networking is the secret toeffective one-on-one marketing," Chris vanBiljon, Founder of the Ekurhuleni BusinessInitiative (EBI), facilitates and provides aplatform for business members to meet otherbusiness owners and managers in their areato seal business transactions that otherwisemay be lost to traders outside the region.
We believe that networking increasesbusiness revenue and therefore havelaunched the West Rand, Sandton, Randburg,Krugersdorp and Westonaria Branches. TheEBI also has branches all over the country,such as Bloemfontein and Nelspruit to namea couple. Winnie Soekoe is the Principal forthe West Rand, Randburg and Sandton areas.
Winnie joined the initiatives of the EBI inJuly 2009, looking to broaden her otherbusiness that she markets, Winnie saw theopportunity to launch the EBI on the WestRand and has had great success since thefirst launch.
The EBI is a business-to-business networkorganisation and we give our members aplatform to network and do business witheach other at regular meetings.
