Are you looking for Referral Partners? Are you a "Solo-Preneur" and wish you had some buddies you can talk business with? Finally there is a group for professionals that is networking several times each week. All you have to do is show up and get yourself some coffee...
Business Networking for Professionals.
Our day/evening soirees are business and social networking events for professionals, held at relaxed but stylish daytime or evening locations. No formal agenda, they are designed to make it easy to make new business contacts and new friends. Dress business casual. Strictly business - professional conduct.
The venues we are meeting at change frequently. We currently meet in Seattle, Bellevue, Everett and Renton, WA.
Always bring plenty of business cards to our events. We frequently host soirees with well over 100 guests.
Our philosophy
Build lasting relationships and connections by adding value to the lifes of others without asking for anything in return. We believe that your business will grow naturally over time if you focus on building relationships and not "selling".
"You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar
Cross-posting with other Meetups,
Facebook, LinkedIn and other Networking Groups
We are building a large network of professionals - not only here on Meetup. All of our events are always cross-posted with multiple other professional networking groups. Expect to meet more than just this group's RSVPs.
Attendance
Regular attendance is not required, but ensures the most referrals. The better the other members know you, the easier it is for them to refer business to you.
RSVP
Don't forget to RSVP so someone can get a hold of you, even if they have lost your business card. It also helps creating momentum for our events and will result in higher attendance.
New members welcome!
Professionals - Entrepreneurs and Executives. There may or may not be multiple members of one industry or profession - unlike a BNI or LeTip group - more like a Chamber without dues.
Group Profile with Picture
Introduce yourself and your business with your online group profile. A head shot that shows your face is required to join this group. Yes, a real picture of your face! No logos, drawings, pictures of your pet or favorite flower vase(!?! No kidding!), or pictures with sun glasses please!
Building Your Network
We may personally introduce you to people in our network, but it's really up to you to reach out and build relationships.
