North Oak Cliff Netweavers was modeled after several other successful Netweavers groups throughout Dallas. The approach is very unique in that this is not a for-profit organization putting these together, but simply professionals who wish to truly network their businesses and contacts together to benefit others.
When you walk in the door, you are not "pressured" to bring leads with you. We believe that as you get to know others in the group, referrals and business will happen organically. The real strength of the group is in the 1-1 meetings we encourage between members/guests. We really emphasize getting to know each other's businesses and after-hours interests and needs. This way, if someone needs a chiropractor, personal trainer, golf instructor, yoga instructor, carpet cleaner, moving company, etc., those needs will be met just as readily as if they need a printer, CPA, attorney, merchant account provider, security system or marketing consultant for their business needs.
If this all sounds "too good to be true," it is...but it also works! We didn't re-invent the wheel, we just turned it into a "Wagon Wheel" at Hunky's Restaurant in the Bishop Arts District by modeling what was being done in Grapevine/Southlake, Uptown, Lakewood, and Lewisville
Imagine, instead of making 50 sales in the room (from the attendees), having in essence 50 new sales people who know you and LIKE YOU going out to talk about your business to their co-workers, friends, family, neighbors, etc. THAT is the power of netWEAVING vs. simply networking.
Space is limited to 50 attendees each week (room capacity), so RSVP's are VERY important. Also important is "consistency" in attendance. We need to see you to get to know you. Also, as people qualify for membership, their professional position becomes "exclusive" in the group. So once "a" dentist has qualified and been voted in, they become the "only" dentist in the room, for example. Point being for those in competitive industries, better to get involved earlier-on than later-on. Current "Exclusive" professions now include the following:
*Personal Injury/Criminal Defense Attorney (Open)
*In-Home Cash for Gold Parties (Open)
*Financial Planner (Happy Franklin)
*Chiropractor (Brandon Huddleston)
*Acupuncturist (Laura Yoo)
*Life Insurance (Open)
*Corporate Furniture Sales (Open)
*Send Out Cards (Michael Stammer)
*Sustainability Project Leader (Tajana Mesic)
*Property & Casualty Insurance (Home/Auto) (James Guibert)
*Residential/Commercial Alarm Systems (Open)
*Individual Health Care Insurance (Open)
*Residential Real Estate (Viktor Taushanov)
*Payroll Solutions (Jim Price)
*Business Banker (Claudia Cantu)
*Credit Union (Sissy Littlefield)
*Alturnative Lending (Dianna Buffington)
*Chamber of Commerce (Open)
*Credit Repair (Open)
*Commercial Realestate (Open)
*Local Non Profit (Open)
And if you happen to be in one of those professions or businesses that are so unique "no one else" does what you do (or at least in this geographical area), then GREAT! Just pop in and make yourself and your business known when your schedule allows.
Any other questions, just contact the organizer of this group, Sissy Littlefield
From 7:30a - 8:30a, at Hunky's Restaurant, come in and meet the group, swap business cards, get to know a little more about the people in the room.
