Welcome Business Owners!

If you are like me you want to participate in offline networking events in order to get your business out there. However, it seems that most of the events take place when you are at your regular job! We are business owners who at this time need to work a full time job until our businesses are self sustaining. The after business hours meet up is created just for us.

We will meet the third Wednesday of each month between the hours of 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm. There will be a Saturday morning training event hosted in place of the Wednesday meeting every other month. Notification will be sent a month prior with time, place and date information. All are welcome to join this group and share in business building and a chance to build quality business relationships. This is also a great way to build your referral list and business contact list.

The beginning of each meeting we will have one member introduce their business or product. By doing this everyone will know what your business is and this will enable you to build your contact list with people who may be in need of your product or service. The rest of the meeting will be discussions on how to better build and grow our businesses. The Saturday trainings will involve more in intense training in marketing strategies, networking strategies, business building tips, how to utilize social media and most importantly closing the sale. If you have a particular knowledge in any of these areas or one that is not mentioned let me know. I am asking that the members be involved in these from the trainer side as well as the trainee.

There will be a $5.00 per meet up fee required. This helps to offset the cost of the meet up group fee, refreshments, materials for training and rental of meeting locations as needed. I will try to keep the meetup locations pretty consistent but there may be a few variations for the Saturday trainings. Members will be notified well in advance of any changes in location.

I am excited to meet you and to know more about your business. I am also interested in any ideas that can make this group a smashing success. I don't just want this group in NC. This is the starting point. If you know of any business owners in other cities or states who would like to create an after business hours meet up please put them in touch with me.
