What we’re about
Welcome to CIBN Connect’s Philadelphia networking group! We believe in powerful networking with lots of encouragement, and few rules. This is why we’ve created learning tools to empower our members to get the most out of their networking experience:
SMART Networking the book
Our video training portal
Quarterly goal sessions
Our Youtube Channel
At our meetings you can expect a high amount of appointments, because we coach our members to proactively seek out referrals and referral sharing partnerships. You can also enjoy an environment where people don’t hard sell you! Because, as a community, we’ve all agreed that cornering a stranger into a pitch is not classy.
Our meeting formats are designed to be member serving! We allow members and guests to speak for longer periods of time, and we have fewer presentations, so that you have the opportunity to make an impression and book more appointments from our meetings.
We offer different online meeting styles with varying degrees of facilitation/structure so that you can find the format that works best for you. Here are some of our weekly club meetings that you may be invited to:
SMART Networking Club
-A networking event that focuses on best practices for networking
Easy Breezy Networking Club
-A lighthearted networking event that is designed to be a fun end to your day
Positively Women’s Networking Club
-A positive women’s led networking space
Boss Networking Club
-A productive and more structured networking event
Our online meetings are designed to help you meet business owners, entrepreneurs, and experts from all over the Western world. However, if your services have geographical limitations, then our LinkedIn browser extension will help you meet people wherever you like. In addition, we are also open to helping highly motivated individuals host local events with our Meetup groups.
CIBN Connect is a family business. We do our best to serve our members and guests but nothing would be possible without the continued support of our members and sponsors. We’d like you to come as our guest to a few meetings, and if you see the value, then we’d humbly ask you to consider joining as a member.
