Connecters Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park Chapter!

Welcome to Connecters Networking Groups, LLC!!!!

We are a group of FUN people that incorporate business networking with social networking! Our networking events are not your "run of the mill" sit down and listen to a spiel about someone's business. We put the networkers in a social atmosphere that creates a face to face meeting and everyone gets to know everyone as friends AND networkers! Why not be productive AND have FUN at the same time!

Our group encompasses all avenues of business networking.

The Connecters Business Networking Model-----OUR 7 Tiers of Business Networking

1) Business Leader to Business Leader-CEO, CFO, COO, Controller, Upper and Mid-Level Management

2) Sales Networking-Business to business sales networking-for people in sales positions

3) Entrepreneur education, development and networking

4) Service Networking-Business to business services, technical services, computer and IT services,
Home and business services-construction and home repair

5) Product networking-the promotion and sales of products directly to the consumer

6) Job Networking

7) Educational Services-Educating business leaders, business owners (large and small) and job related education

We encourage only serious networkers to join this group!

We invite you to visit our group first to see if we fit your needs! Your first two visits are only $5 each. After that, the decision is yours! If you choose to join, there is a yearly fee of $180.00 or have your credit card billed at $15 per month. If you decide to join for the whole year, we will reduce the price to $165.00 which means-pay for 11 months and get the 12th month free!

So you ask...what do I get for my $15.00. What is the Connecters Networking Group going to do for me?

Well...let us explain!!! Glad that you asked!! LOL

1) You and your business get recognition by attending our meetings.
2) You get personal introductions to other business networkers
3) You get free business education at each meeting through educational speakers, motivators and teachers.
4) You make new and improved social and business contacts at each meeting.

When you attend our social function/meeting, you will be personally greeted by the Chapter Owner and then you will be introduced to an Assistant Connecter who will check you in. Your Assistant Connecter will be escorting you during the "check in" time and then he/she will take you around the room to be personally introduced to others.

By the time you come to the second meeting, the Assistant Connector assigned to your business will have studied your profile and learned all that he/she can learn about you from the info that you have given us.

Once the Assistant Connecter has reviewed your profile, he/she will make an assessment of who you need to meet. He/she will fill out a form with the suggested connections and that form will be e-mailed to you. We ask that you bring the form with you to the next meeting. Your Assistant Connecter will greet you at the door then escort you to meet your personal connections.

At each meeting you will be asked to sign the attendance sheet. After the educational portion of each meeting, the attendance sheet will be read out loud to the group and you will be asked to stand and identify yourself. We do this because it is impossible to meet each attendee at the meeting but if you know who is in the room, you might make a direct attempt to meet that person.

We will also introduce you to others for more than business....promoting friendships and making new friends is a HUGE way of enlarging your social and business circle. There will be social events planned every few months that will include business networkers and their friends and families.

We employ business coaches, life coaches, educators and motivators for the educational portion of our meetings. You will take away valuable information with each meeting you attend.

For those that are in a money crunch due to unemployment or other needs, there will be jobs that you can perform to offset the attendance fee. Please ask your Chapter Owner if there are any positions available. Connecters has business opportunities!

Business attire is required at our events. If you are going to do business, you have to look like business! No jeans, sneakers or t-shirts are permitted. We want to present our best side to those that we want to do business with!

We hope you will visit one of our meetings soon to find out if this group is a fit for you!
