How does it work?

  • We begin at 6:00 pm with Unstructured Networking. This provides the opportunity to meet your fellow networkers and enjoy light refreshments, appetizers, salads, wraps, and desserts.

  • Around 6:15 pm, we start with the Rules of Engagement so all attendees (especially our first timers) know the structure and expectations of the meeting.

  • At 6:30 pm we begin a random round robin of individual Value Propositions, Leads contacts, opportunities, and market intelligence.

  • The session ends at 9:00 pm but there is always ample time to single out networkers of special interest and have more in-depth conversations.

What else do you need?

  • Be ready to give a two-minute introduction summary (your Value Proposition). It is the answer to the question: “Tell me about yourself.” Share what you can offer the group and what you would like from the group, including how you may be a “solution” to someone’s problems. Be ready to help others with ideas, leads, feedback, and suggestions.

  • Be ready to ask the group for introductions or leads to your targeted companies.

  • Be ready to share information you have to offer others.

  • Bring business cards and 25 copies of your one page Overview Sheet (resume/bio) that also lists your target organizations to exchange with others in attendance.
